Apparently the robber celebrated his success by getting hammered that night.
Nooooo this is a cold joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thor ain't got nothing on him.
I see what you did there ;)
LOL
Brilliant!!
Let's be honest, they could make 9 of these movies and ppl would keep seeing them cause of denzel
Hell yeah. Can't believe around the time black Panther came out people were crying about the lack of cool black protagonists in movies. Like they never saw the Equalizer or Blade ?
@@eh7602 I've come to realize most ppl don't care about the point they claim to, they just wanna complain. Denzel alone could have a black protag library of films my himself.

Guys,
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Egyptian Semitic:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Egyptian Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
I mean look at the fast franchise
Only Denzel could look so badass without showing an actual fight scene
»The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of The Holy Ghost.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of The Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.«
(Gospel of Matthew - Chapter 1)
was thinking the exact same thing
He should have put it in the used tool department: like new; one owner; one job.
Assessing his other physical engagements, it probably wouldn’t actually be classified as a fight.
John wick is good by denzil is fab
Denzel Washington brought this character to life and I like how he told the security guard that it wasn't his fault. Most store managers and employees are quick to blame the security guards for robberies.
i came to see if somebody had noticed this, as somebody whos been in lp for a while being told that corporate money isnt worth your life is very validating when something like this occurs.
@@CaptainCob Seconding that. This world needs more Gustavo Fring professional conscience
@CaptainCob In the state of California, a security guards job is to observe and report. The store is definitely insured. I think the guard was unarmed here. It's not worth playing the hero.
The fact that he put the murder weapon back for someone else to buy is genius.
One hammer - gently used...
@Introspective Charmer as long as you clean it up and someone buys it were good to go. Yeah he's going to be a prime suspect but it's a movie don't think about it lol
@@medix1203 why is he gonna be the prime suspect? Could be the woman's husband, the security guard, or anyone who works at the store for that matter. Plus the guy has hit other stores too.
Even if the police narrowed it down to that store and the type of weapon, how many hammer/mallet type items do they probably sell? Not to mention the fact he put it at the front so it'll be first sold.
@@develynseether4426 well he was just robbed by the guy and then later winds up dead with a hammer imprint.
@@medix1203 he wasn't robbed, the store was and he wasnt even manager. Plus other stores were so someone else could've caught up with him.
The way Denzel character studies and learn everything he needs to know about the perpetrators in a couple of seconds is amazing.
Goes to show our brains are computers.
That's what talented (operators) excel at: ex. (PMSCs, special forces, agents, etc.).
Denzel Washington is one of the greatest actors of our time.
yes indeed.. he is able to turn a murdering psychopath, into a lovable hero!!!
for reference, in this scene, a guy who was desperate enough to risk going to prison, nervously robbed a few bucks, but was later killed by another guy who very confidently went and bashed his brains with a sledge-hammer.
only Denzel could sell it as a heroic act!!!
deserves an Oscor!!
@@adamfirst3772 He didn't seem nervous to me. He seemed rude, disrespectful and potentially violent.
@@moralityisnotsubjective5
yes, rude, disrespectful, and POTENTIALLY violent... but none of those things makes him deserving of ANOTHER EXTREMELY and ACTUALLY violent person bashing his head with a hammer!!!!
also, looking over his shoulder constantly, is a sure clue to his anxiety and nervousness.
even his rudeness and impatience is a is a result of the anxiety
im not siding with him, but just wondering who was the real criminal here, just based on this scene.
a guy who stole or the guy who murdered.
@Krypto Universe yes!
@@adamfirst3772 the only reason he would be nervous or anxious is because he is literally doing a crime and he doesn't want to get caught. That man did this many times before and shot and killed one guy too. You can't tell me there's something actually wrong with him other than he's actual garbage.
3:42--A story not viewed, just a small wipe on the mallet and a million pictures come into our mind about what happened to the thug at the hands of Robert McCall. Just brilliant. The tenderness he shows Jenny when taking her mother's ring off while sizing up the gunman in how he is to be dispatched. One of the most underrated action thriller movies in recent decades. Denzel is brilliant. So too, the writers.
Agreed. This is great storytelling in any movie. No actual violence was shown, just intent. Make the right suggestions about what could and should happen and the viewer will fill in the blanks.
Robert gave new meaning to the phrase...(beat the F out of you)👍
@@RudyBleeker The Bible is great story-telling, too. It tells what will happen on Judgement Day to all the liars, robbers, thugs and murderers that do not accept forgiveness for their sins purchased by the man who will be sitting in the judgement seat. Then it will be too late for forgiveness for them. Blood will flow. The pit will be waiting. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.
This bible thing is getting old. Create us, give us capability to sin, then prepare hell for us. What a stupid god.
@@benedictjohannes A very easy set of sentences to say while you're young and healthy.
Will you have the intestinal fortitude to say the same thing on your deathbed?
Money is just paper and little discs of metal. But that ring isn't just a ring. It was something that belonged to Jenny's family. What Robert did for her made me tear up. A decent man doing a decent thing for a colleague.
That's what sealed the thugs fate. If you notice as they were clearing the register Robert was concerned, maybe a tad annoyed but he figured he's a punk who has gotta punk, it's only money, the store has insurance etc. He went into kill mode when the thug targeted the ring, a personal possession that means a lot, that's irreplaceable, that when he starts doing his equaliser thing of details etc. 💯 the thug doesn't take the ring, he doesn't get a McCall
You know this is just a movie, right?
@@JimboPrague " A decent man doing a decent thing for a colleague." LOL
Yes. Even though it was armed robbery the minute the perp wanted Jenny’s ring it was all over for the guy. It became Hammer Time after that.
Why does everyone think he killed him? He obviously just helped him build a deck or something and got paid with jewelry
You're right, it's such a crazy leap to assuming the robber was killed by RM. I'm sure, as you said, he just did the poor criminal a good deed and was properly rewarded with...the guy's head bashed to hell. Yeah, I'm just speculating wildly here.
Exactly! What is everyone’s problem? He obviously negotiated a deal with him by helping build something special and give him jewelry in return as a sort of gratitude.
Plausible!!
Dude, that, was classic.👍🏻👍🏻😂😂
Use the right tool for the job. You don't use a handheld sledgehammer on a deck. It's for light duty demo
What a good employee, going through all the trouble of testing the quality and durability of their store's products himself.
haha brilliant comment!
😂😂😂😂😂
quality control man, quality control....
Now I know the reason why I found a tiny spot of blood on my brand new hammer.
omg lmao
While Denzel is of course outstanding, both the writing and the direction deserve a lot of credit. The close shots of every small detail Denzels character takes in (including the kids coming in which prevented a fight right there), the license plates, the photos and the way they don't show us the actual violence but just cut back to the store the next day to show us who the character is. The viewer realizes that this is someone not to be messed with.

That separate good director with the not-good director
He was all smiles, knowing it was only money, until the robber made it personal by demanded her mother's ring.
That's when he gets that look in his eye.
Seriously! You could tell he didn’t give a fuck about cash register money. “It’s just money”. However it’s not “just your mother’s ring”
That's when he decided murder is ok.
I LOVE THAT LOOK
@@McShag420 you don't know that, he probably just fucked him up.
@@McShag420 "Murder"?
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
The equaliser actually does things we only imagine of doing to those who wrong us.
No, he does not it's a silly film version of a character from an old UK TV show with Edward Woodward much more restrained and realistic in the original role. As usual, silly Yanks go overboard dreaming they are the policemen of the world! Denzil is a good actor, but I suspect this job is just an earner for him, attracting the more moronic film fans. His roles playing the great Malcolm X and the framed by the shity US non-justice system unfortunate Hurricane Carter are amongst Denzils far better roles!
@@stevebrindle1724 Any reason for being racist or does it make you feel better about your personal insecurities?
@@meh5992 how was he racist? He said Denzel was better in other roles. That's his opinion which I disagree with partially, but it's not discriminatory in any way
@@meh5992 danm i was not expecting a comment any dumber than the one above you, you surprised me.
who is the hero, who is the psychopath??
well..he took a sledge-hammer to a guy's skull... over a cheap ring and a few bucks!!!!
THAT is what you "imagine doing" for a few dollars worth of paper and a ring's worth of gold-plated metal??.
or even for your bruised ego that was "wronged"??
really??
I'm a Loss Prevention Manager of a big box store, and I approve this message.
Emphasis on "Loss Prevention" lol
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Fuck big box stores.
Totally, theft from huge companies is totally meaningless but scumbags who steal from real working class people deserve to be punished.
@@TheMrAnticitizen Loss Prevention workers usually make minimum wage and if they're lucky to make more than minimum wage, its not even close to a sustainable wage. Most retail stores have policy in place where if LP workers, will lose their jobs if they try to physically stop theft, and its to protect them, because there isn't anything in your local Home Depot that's worth your life.
That look in his eye when he was sizing up the robber. No emotion at all. Just committing the important details to memory. And as cool as it would be to see the ring's retrieval, the wiping down of the hammer just fills out mind with images of extreme and shocking retribution. Well done.
Sometimes less is more. Being the robber was small time, it's best to let the audience ask "What the fuck did he do?! Who is this guy?!"
This is a sign of quality writing and smart filmmaking. Leave some things to the audience's imagination, like, "WTF did McCall do to that guy?"
The first time I watched,I felt cheated we didn't get to see him use the hammer,but since, I have realized the best scene is in our heads. Hitchcock knew this. I could not be more non violent,but I love these movies.
Yes! Not showing every step allows us to fill in the details for ourselves... like he must have found the guy by his license plate.
Think of the time and money saved by not shooting that scene, and how unnecessary we all recognize it to be. These writers know what the audience needs to see and what it doesn’t to still give the audience a sense of satisfaction that justice has been served. Brilliant.
Imagine you go to Lowes and Denzel is working the register
I’d make sure I was polite 😂😂
Keep the change sir
If so, don't tell him to ring it up.
I would behave myself.
I'm sure you'll be fine if you don't try to rob the store.
Awesome movie, I love Denzel's movies. This was a classic in my eyes.
Haha, a classic?
Not a classic but surely entertaining.
If you want a Denzel classic go for Training Day.
Love Training Day 👍
@@templetonbob ABSOLUTELY a CLASSIC

"There are dozens of ways to disarm a man with a gun, but unfortunately they all come with a risk that the gun will go off. No matter how good you are, it's not something you wanna try with a child present. Unless you wanna tell a bereaved mom that you gambled with her kid's life because you felt lucky."

Fuck I loved burn notice. So many lines from that show that are memorable
Burn notice fan here

But the only way to disarm a vampire with a hammer is to throw nails in front of him.
I just read that in Michael's voice! LOL!
The person who bought this hammer a few days later had no clue that it already was used ...
😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, you'd think they would discount it.
I have the hammer...I knew something was odd about it, hmmm...
Smells like rusty iron, almost like blood
🤣
You gotta love how the main theme plays whenever Robert finishes taking care of business. In other movies, it would feel overused, but in this it adds so much satisfaction to each scene.
I watch this movie every time it comes around. There is something about this kind of justice and the details of Denzel’s acting that is appealing.
I'd say Equalizer 1 is better than 2.
Man, Denzel cold angry pissed off is totally believable. I always get chills with his crafting. One of the best actors. For all kinds of genres.
Denzel's the real deal. He can play any character & make it look so real. I love him in the movie "Flight".
Flight, Man on Fire...two of my favs of his. And Training Day...and...friggin anything he's in. Always delivers.

I LOVE this movie. Robert McCall stands for everything that is right in the world.
Actually he doesn't. The scene has a second meaning about how evil causes more evil, and people celebrate it. It feels good.
he's the vengeance.
Never know. McCall probable gave him a chance to return the money and especially the ring and the robber wasn’t having any of that and underestimated what awaited him
@@pasques Yes he does! Don't tell him he doesn't! This movie gets better whenever I watch it!

The whole scene was played perfectly we literally did not need to see anything to understand and it was delivered in a terrifying way. Fucking amazing directing and screenwriting.
And yet...we all wanted to see it happen. Ha ha.
The entire scene and resolution was a case study in "show, don't tell".
The audience understands that he's sizing up the threat, remembering details, weighing in taking him out now only to have it change the moment the children walk in (either reminding him of the possible collateral or because it tipped the scales too far).
Then a resolution left to your imagination, since you've seen him fight before, and will see him do it again in a more plot relevant way..
The act of cleaning and putting away the "tool" denoting that the retribution and recovery of the ring was just another good day's work.
Very very well done.
In equalizer 3 have a flash back scene to that night the thief gave up the ring.
And it be a 3rd party. Cop ER girlfriend.
Denzel is calm,cool and collected.
Nah pretty badly down. The guy should have black tho it's more realistic
I really don’t think anyone makes a more perfect face for this character than Denzel. When he’s doing his scanning thingy his face is completely emotionless, no one else can make that face as good as him.
When you insult a guy’s co-worker holding a loaded gun..and he smiles at you..give the money back and run.
@Petal Pusher not really, at least they don’t talk your ear off before killing you.
YES!
Make sure you apologize as well.
That Robert McCall....always putting his tools away after a proper cleaning.
Such a nice quiet man.
If only life was so simple. We’re more likely to end up in prison than the robber if we do anything.
Fucking true
What do you mean? If you were to be a vigilante, hunt down a robber, and beat his skull in with a hammer? Yeah you'd be in jail lol
There are ways to do things.. and there are ways to do things.. if you get my meaning.
Those who live in 3rd world countries have way steeper punishment then here in the States. They don't mess around there. Here, you get a slap on the wrist the first 8 offenses.
@@jedisponge16 That’s what’s wrong with this country.
When you're a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
Either way, the guy was a tool.
Nailed it....
Another great scene...love how he casually puts the hammer back.
U know he fucked that dude up 🫣
Fucking the guy up is a understatement
Putting the merdur wepon back in the store.... genius
Wondering if he smashed the dude's hands and fingers?
@@Strato13 prolly smashed his knees too
But did he?Seems like maybe they ran out of money in the budget to film a fight scene with the robber so you have to use your imagination of how his retribution went.
This movie and countless others have always showed in situations like these how to observe. Calm your mind, breathe and scan the situation. Always pay attention to your surroundings the best you can. It's an invaluable technique to teach yourself. Relax, survey, record.

That cold look on denzel washington's face is terrifying ...the man is not acting but living that scene in real life at that very moment..... what a legend...big fan of you sir
It's open to imagination how that hammer was used. One of the best scenes. 👍
The imagination is ALWAYS worse than reality. That is human nature.
This one of the best scenes from a movie.
I think he just gave the guy a manicure. 🔨
I'm so glad to see that some of the more recent movies have brought back the filmmaking trick that sometimes what the audience doesn't see is better than what they do.
Kills the dude with the store’s products and than even brings it back for someone to buy lol 😂
Why would he kill him?? Nothing to learn there, He stole, so you take away his ability to steal, forever. Use your imagination to see what the guy's hands looked like after a "lesson". Never to steal again.
@@markw3598 you know he did kill him at first he probably gave him a choice like he always does for ppl and the dude thought he was better so he probably died lol it’s more of attitude that will get you killed
if he didnt kill him the guy can only sing mary had a little lamb now
And that's how you dispose of the evidence. No matter how well the police search, they aren't going to find that hammer.
I imagine he probably gave the robber the same treatment as the last guy standing in the apartment from the second movie
2:25 Denzel: "it is only money"
Denzel (to himself): ... because I will get the ring back!
This scene was done so well. It leaves a lot to imagination, as to what happened to the robber.
McCall went over to his house and hammered a few things out. He won't be robbing anymore stores.
He definitely got hammered the night before.
I watched that movie at least 10 times and loved it every time.
Ditto, and still watching it every time it comes on again.
Denzel Washington's movies are always worth watching. His motivational speeches are to the point and no bs. He tells it like it is and thanks Denzel for taking the time. Men and women, young and old are going to run into problems of all kinds. It is how you handle that adversity that will define you. Stay strong and never give up.
When you rob a store driving your own car, not disguising the license plate, you don't deserve anything else.
Or wearing a disguise, AND having so many identifying characteristics for bystanders to notice about you. Some people shouldn't be criminals.
Spoken like a consummate professional.
Wasn't this during the plandemic? Not that he needed a mask, but here's an example of where having one could have been helpful. And yeah, duck tape over the license plate would have been pretty easy too. I guess in a way the world is really lucky that criminals can be so stupid😄
@@Rick-the-Swift lol this movie came out in 2014. Not everything is connected to covid bullshit ;)
@@stylishone lmao I do remember thinking most stuff on tv, radio, new movies etc. was all intricately linked to the covid agenda. Still not sure I was wrong about most stuff, but yeah, if this was a 2014 production you're probly right that this was some non-related BS😆
A hammer that literally put in blood, sweat, and tears.
When I saw him cleaning the hammer I was like: "Damn! We missed what he did to the guy."
If Denzel Washington says "It's gonna be okay" then It's gonna BE OKAY! Okay?!? Okay.
Dark twist, some murderer bought the hammer killed a guy, got caught, now in jail for killing two.
I wish they'd made 5 more of these. I never get tired of denzel and I never get tired of this "what if batman was weird af" character.
This movie perfectly demonstrates why you don't just go around messing with someone because they appear to be weak. You NEVER know who that person who you just told you "F off" in traffic is, what they've been through, or what they're capable of.
A modest sized tool for a modest size tool, very well scripted!! 10/10
What I love most about his character is his immense focus and discipline...he could sit I a room for hours just staring thru the window while most people would go berserk if they weren't on their phone for 10 minutes
What's a phone?
What a way to dispose of a murder weapon though.
Steal it from a store, then later put it back right where it was and no one's the wiser.
This proves that old saying, "Sometimes the perfect hiding spot is right in plain sight."
On aisle 18.
He must have been a fan of "Lamb to the Slaughter"
He didn't "steal" it. He took it to give it a consumer's home test, and when it worked to perfection, he brought it back.
Would have been great to have had a scene where he knocks on the thief's door, it opens and Denzel says "Hammer time"
lol
pizza time
thats corny
Can't touch this! Wham!
Fuck, thank god you weren't one of the writers
My favorite part is him waiting to get into the store to clean off the hammer.
McCall was such a gentleman. He even cleaned off the hammer.
Seriously, I can not picture anyone else acting this part other than Denzel. He just brings
the intensity that is needed for this character to be authentic!!!
I know right? And they're trading him for Queef Latif...
@@spartanswhatisyourprofessi2825 I don't believe they're trading him, but Denzel is a megastar, that quite frankly, no actor can match. Plus, this is a tv series and they want to give this a new spin.
Idris Elba?
@@kokkionglim6548 too British
@@kokkionglim6548 Idris is good too, but there is just something about Mr.Washington performance....it cannot be compared.
This man is excellent in every role he plays. This series is what humanity needs. Heros !
We've been wondering what that hammer did to get that ring back since
This movie came out. Epic.
no.
no we haven't.
@@jonnyb70 yes.
yes we have.
I'm guessing the robber walks with a cane now.
@@therealrvasinger241
A limp, he cant hold a cane because his hands are all swollen up
and his fingers are broken so gotta be a limp.
a lot of mangled fingers/hands ---can't hold a gun/knife well or effectively maneuver a get-away vehicle anymore.
I may be wrong but here's how I interpret the scene... the store is robbed, and Denzel sees how easy it was, so he decides to steal a hammer. The robber feels guilty or perhaps is nervous about being caught so he returns the stolen ring. Denzel, following suit, decides to return the hammer.
You are joking... right? Just making sure because some people are really like this
Nope, he definitely used that hammer to smack the shit out of that robber.
Right. That's how I figured it too. Denzel ran out after the thief to ask him for tips concerning store robbery or perhaps where he, the robber, purchased his bling which Denzel admired.
lol, underrated comment.
Makes sense
0:11 He’s in hurry too Mccall!
"It's not personal, it's strictly business," and the thief made it personal.
Exactly.....if he would've taken the money and left....no issue
Denzel could do Equalizer movies for the rest of his career. 👏🏻😎
That guitar when he's hanging the hammer back up...chills.
I always think of this scene whenever I go to a DIY store.
Me too. I have to walk by the hammer display.
I like the way McCall disengaged, when he seen the kid walk through the door in the background
I wish they didn't cut the part Denzel basing that robber's brain to a pulp :)
Me two
Love it! The Equalizer doing what needs to be done!
The best part is that we don't need any more detail to surmise what happened 😁
Facts homie!!🤣🤞🏾🎯
Absolutely brilliant acting and story, Denzil really is the best in everything he does
Some unsuspecting customer is gonna buy that hammer completely unaware of its history
I wouldn't care, as long as it performs the job I need it for, who knows, it might be a similar 'chore'.
3:39 he's so badass he only wiped the bloodstains off the hammer when he reached its shelf! 🥵😂🤯
1:14
>that feel when you're employee comes in one nanosecond late
Denzel is the perfect actor for this role. I hope they keep making more Equalizer movies!
I think Tobey Maguire is a better choice, maybe Natalie Portman....maybe.
The guy who buys that hammer will never know how or what it was used for before.
Well, it was tested against some hard bones.
That hammer should have a tag on it saying "This hammer works just fine."
Could have been used to crucify someone. 😁
He won't care, either. He needs a small sledgehammer, he buys one. As long as it works, so what.
I just realized she could just watch the camera feed and she would see Denzel putting the ring in the register.
This is what is needed on this planet: instant karma!
Denzel is a fantastic actor.
Those kids extended the skells life a bit.
Damn he made her a new ring, from memory, with just a baby sledge! Amazing!
The most badass thing is that he brought back the hammer cause he don't wanted to waste a bullet. The guy wasn't even worth one bullet
Didn't want the store to come up short on inventory.
He bought the hammer back because otherwise it would have been theft.
Every neighbourhood need one of these guys
Scene: Spectacular!
Writer: Perfect
Director to make it work: Amazing
Washington to glue it together: Phenominal
Just goes to show, you dont need gore and blood to make a point!
Brilliantly done. You don't have to see what happened. Taking the sledge and it's return leave your imagination to fill in the details. Given what Mr McCall does throughout the film, you can assume the robber had a really bad day. So bad, he went and got hammered.
I agree. If they had showed what happened to the robber, it would have taken away from the poignancy of the return of the ring.
I like how he's wiping down the mall before he puts it back. Lol!
There's an expression you might have heard before:
" using a sledgehammer to crack a nut "
Robert McCall took that expression 'literally'.
Hells yes, this is how we should all react to piss ants like this guy. The original TV show kicked ass as well!
Who played Denzel's part was it a black guy at least??
@@choppagang251 No. The original Equalizer is decades old, and starred Edward Woodward.
The new one is Horrible!!!!!
Denzel is a great employee. He really cleaned that hammer nicely. Such attention to detail
When The Equalizer goes into his zone: time stops but his mind is going the speed of sound💥💀
I love how they left the redemption scene out and only to the viewers imagination 😂 although it would’ve been nice to see this dude getting hammered
You don't know if he even used the hammer. I can see McCall using De Niro's line from "Casino"--"You can have the money and the hammer, or you can walk out of here with neither."
Denzel, one of the absolute best. A legend.
Denzel Washington: F*ing Legendary
Great writing. No need to add a scene telling her I will get your ring back, 5mins following the guy, waiting for him in his house....all to end with the ring back. No time wasted here. Denzel is great too.
That scene only would give you 1h30' more in a Nigerian or Indian movie 🤣🤣
The actress playing Jenny did so well, the change in her voice when she saw the ring, it's incredible
Part 3 is coming, I'm looking forward to it.
He shoulda at least put that mallet on the clearance rack.
