- Denzel Washington never disappoints! He's one of our finest actors and he almost always chooses great films to be apart of. This one is a hell of a ride! Come join us and watch us watch THE EQUALIZER for the first time!

honey is antibacterial and antimicrobial. its perfect for cleansing wounds while cauterizing them at the same time, so long as its pure raw and organic. its also, when put onto a warm damp face cloth, perfect to calm down asthma attacks while you look for your inhaler.
Thanks for sharing!❤❤
The heating was to kill potential contamination, medical grade honey is irradiated which is better, but you don't find it at the grocers :-)
We can Google too guy.
Also, honey applied to the wound will help maintain blood sugar levels and aid in preventing shock from bloodloss
And it's delicious 😋
The Equalizer was based off a tv show from the 80's. There's a reboot series staring Queen Latifah going into it's 3 season on CBS, her character name is Robyn McCall.
Y’all edited out the best line “I promised someone I love very much that I would never go back to being that person.. but for you.. I’m going to make an exception” CHILLS
Susan is the name of the woman talking to him about Vivian. Susan's husband is the dude who said he had a nice funeral. Vivian was Robert's wife.
Thank you! I was overthinking it during editing. 😅
@@screamqueenshorrorpodcast check out Fallen and déjà vu both great Denzel, Washington movies
Teddy also didn't try to take out Robert in the hallway because he was aware that whoever killed Slavi and his crew was not someone he could easily take alone. He even mentioned not seeing skills like that before. Robert basically told him he knew he wasn't a cop and as Teddy came back up the stairs, Robert actually met him right at the head of the stairs instead of backing up. That's a tactically advantageous position. Teddy wanted info and additional help. Great reaction!
Thank you! And thanks for watching! ❤
Best part is the confrontation on steps and at dining table
@@Lola-di8fq The stairs/ hallway is what I was referring to.
Not only that, Teddy / Nicolai still did not know who was behind all of that. Robert may just be someone like himself who's doing his "job". So taking him out wasn't really the priority. At the diner they tried to capture him for investigation but of course they didn't get him. Even up to the last moment Teddy didn't know who Robert was or for whom he's working for. They still assumed some kind of rival. The actual "trivial" reason never even came to their minds. They are businessmen and all they can think of is business. They can't even imagine someone did this out of empathy on his own.
Susan was Robert's coworker in Black Ops (it is strongly hinted he was a CIA assassin), when his wife Vivian was dying of an unnamed ailment McCall promised her he would leave that life so he faked his own death to spend her last days with her. The story hints that the two couples were friends as happens with people who are in secret ops because no one else knows what it's like to married to someone in covert ops. So Rober went to Susan for info but also to find out if she thought his dead wife would approve of him breaking his promise to help people that no one else could. Context clues hint that Robert is on the spectrum and does not understand certain social cues and contexts so he needed Suan to act as his conscious. He may even be the Hollywood version of a borderline sociopath who was, tapped to be an assassin because he doesn't feel remorse or guilt (or any emotion) as strongly as other people.
The creative use of the corkscrew is a callback to the 1985 TV show where that version of Robert also used one in the pilot. (I loved that series, and these movies are a good, if more violent, take on the idea.)
My dad was a Marine himself, he tought me at young age never to underestimate your enemy, you never know what someone is capable of. life is full of surprises.
Captures the spirit of the original 1980s TV series perfectly. Completely different actor, but exact same premise - former superspy using his ..... special skillset to help people in trouble. Almost always the same start - he would openly approach the bad guys, offer some kind of peaceful resolution. Then, when the bad guys inevitably refused, he would start dismantling their entire operation - as put so well in this movie, "... dollar by dollar, brick by brick, body by body ...".
The title and that online ad shown in the last scene ("Are you in trouble? Are the odds against you?") are a direct reference to the mid-80s TV-series of the same name.
The second movie gives more background info on him and who he was before his faked death.
And if you like to see Denzel Washington in another movie with a somewhat similar vibe, you should watch Man on Fire.
I loved that series and saw every episode more than 3 times.
SCREAM QUEENS: Good reaction video. You missed a couple of things: What made this movie less of a cliche was all the unique ways Robert killed the bad guys - barbed wire, electric drill, nail gun, electrocution, etc. Also, the movie made you use your imagination for some of his killings - the guy who robbed Home Mart he killed with the hammer & Pushkin's guards, made it a little different than your typical similar storyline. One more thing: In the beginning, Robert told his co-workers he was a "Pip," one of the backup singers for singer Gladys Knight. She had a weekly musical TV show a few years back. Then, later in the movie, when Robert turns on the music in Home Mart to confront the bad guys, I think the music is a recording of Gladys Knight.
He didn't come for help he came for permission.
The actress who played Elena friend was in the remake of The magnificent seven starring Denzel Washington
The city that looks familiar is my hometown - East Boston. That is the Mystic River Bridge facing Charlestown, and the small convenience store on the corner was owned by the Mario family in the 60's & 70's. Chelsea is the town over the smaller Meridian St. Bridge which is where the late night restaurant is located, and where the fire was set in Ralphie's mom's taco place,. That exact spot had two other movies filmed over the years. Blown Away & Mystic River. Chelsea is famous for one of the biggest fires ever in the USA. Blocks upon block were incinerated back in 1973. Oh, David Harbour get's a B+ on his Boston Accent! Great reaction BTW!
If Robert was in the first Taken movie, he would have mentored Liam Neeson's character how to better protect his family = no sequel.
huGGs
need to watch equalizer 2 and the 3rd will be out this September!
Equalizer 2 please watch
I really enjoyed you guys' reaction. Thank you 🙏🏽🌄
Slavi was a customer of the Russian gang there. He beat Teri (her work name) up because she hit him back after he hit her yet again.
I've had to watch it about 50 times to see all the little things in it. A very well put together film. I can't wait to see you you guys when you take the trip through Equalizer II. Oh yeah.... You have a new subscriber!
And yeah, honey is great for wounds plus he got it really hot so it would seal the wound.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Susan is married to Bill Pulman her and Robert were colleagues Vivienne was Roberts wife she died of cancer xx
0:00 That look means "This is the last face you’re ever gong to see."
The third part of The Equalizer will also be in cinemas this year. You must also check out John Wick 1-4 and Nobody. This is as good as The Equalizer. 😊
So no one ever notices that Robert tells his fellow employees that he was a Pip as in Gladys Knight & the Pips & when he comes to save the employees from Teddy, the song he plays over the PA system is Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight & the Pips!!! I just thought that was cool is all!!! 🤗😁😎💯
Wow! What a soupstrainer! :)
Awesome video reaction! Loved y'all commentary the whole video! Pushkin "What do you gain from my death?" Yall: "safer community and environment...less crime and corruption in my neighborhood" 😂🤣
❤❤❤😂 thank you for watching and the kind comment!!
Equalization among the masses. 😂😂 Yeah that’s what it’s about.
😂😂
chips on a sandwich? i have NEVER even seen that in my whole life!
Robert was a marine then he went to the D.I.A. Defense Intelligence Agency
Folks the lesson here is its unwise to just discard or ignore the older citizens,You would be Amazed and Shocked at what their Training and jobs were in their Pasts.or current Abilities may still actually be.Most of us Choose to move slowly,it isn't because we can't ! SFC.D.WILSON U.S Airborne Rangers / Cavalry-SPFOR ret. Stay Safe the both of you ❤
Vivian was Robert's wife. When she was dying, he made a promise to her to forsake his life of killing. He was a CIA assassin. After Vivian died, Robert faked his death from a car bomb. He created a fake life working at a home improvement store as a nobody. Then.....the events of Equalizer 1. It didn't seem that difficult to decipher the first time I watched the movie. Granted, I'm on the spectrum, so my brain works a bit differently.
That familiar line - why did he help her because he could simple as that.
it's "barked up the wrong tree".
Recommendation, "Finding Forester."-Ernie Moore Jr.
I love this movie. I've seen it a lot of times and am looking forward to seeing #3. Great review. You seem like fun people. If you'd once in a while do an older movie, I'd subscribe.
Thank you! And Please recommend some movies you’d like to see us react to.
@@screamqueenshorrorpodcast Well, that's awfully nice of you. Here are some older movies I really loved:
"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" (3rd and most famous in a trilogy)
"Highlander"
"North by Northwest"
"Rio Bravo"
"The Time Machine (1960 version)"
Yeh. Something like "Angel Heart" or "Jacob's Ladder".... We old-timers remember them. :)
21:31 comment,, good notice.-Ernie Moore Jr.
It's "Barking up the wrong tree". The phrase means to mistake one's object, or to pursue the wrong course to obtain it. In other words, "if you are barking up the wrong tree, it means that you have completely misunderstood something or are totally wrong."
One if his best movies is The Book of Eli
I bet you were wide awake watching this bad ass movie lol
Im new here, and first off, subscriber earned 😁
This movie is AMAZING, I absolutely love it, I first saw it in theaters with my friends and it kicked ass! Denzel Washington was incredible as always, I loved everything about it! You don't need complicated stories. This movie is absolutely underrated and you guys should definitely watch the other two movies soon!
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!! We can’t wait to watch the rest of these ❤
15:10 comment scene read,, 15:19 -Ernie Moore Jr.
Believe it or not, "The Equalizer 2" is even better than this one, in my opinion. Great reaction, thanks! ✌💙✌
Maybe the only reactor to ever mention OCD. It's only one of the biggest movie tropes ever.
Barking up the wrong tree refers to the dog who was chasing the squirrel up the tree but the squirrel doubled back to another tree but the dog doesn’t realize so it’s barking up the wrong tree?!
Hello good from Cancun Mexico just to recommend the movie Man on Fire by Denzel Washington is a reference how the situation was in my country in 2000
The equalizer 2 Please!!
36:45 Honey is a natural antibacterial
Boston.. if no one told you yet.. :-)
Watch Equalizer 2 ,that's what can you help meant!
"He's just shot in the leg, hopefully not in an artery" -> the second half of that is a big deal, and good on you for recognizing the danger. Your leg has the largest artery in the body other than the heart itself - just another of many reasons why "They should shoot them in the leg" is an ignorant take on police activity.
I had never ever heard of chips in a sandwich (or crisps sandwich) until I went to the UK! After that I've been seeing it everywhere. It's really not for me. Something about it screams " I live in extreme poverty!"
#2 is even better
The equalizer 2 has credit cards lol
Another movie is Sicario ,fantastic !
We’ve seen it but we’ve never seen PRISONERS ( same director) and are going to watch that soon ❤
We find out why we were born when we stand before God and Jesus on Judgement day.
The Vory V. Zakone. Thieves in law. The Russian organised crime. I'm not sure there's alot of them left. There was a time in Russia when tattoos were used in the criminal world as a ranking system and also a way for others to understand your criminal career.
Each tattoo had it's significance and the shoulders was reserved for ranks. Those who had those tattoos had to follow a strict set of rules. For example, they couldn't have a family, they had no property, no house, no address. They had to participate to the "Abkash". Their own banking system, to support their international criminal empire.
Nowadays, those tattoos don't really mean anything anymore. Unless you see them on an old man... I don't think they're relevent anymore. One thing is for sure... there was a time when these tattoos were reserved for people rooted in evil. They had alot of power in the gulags/prisons.
The equalizer 3 is coming out tomorrow and I can't wait for y'all to see part 2 cuz it just might be better than this one and it's definitely more emotional
The scene with teddy(russian tatto) when flexing in the chair his chest tatt flexes and cuts to the city. Its personification of demon decending over the city or he coming into the already dark city
The scene at the end where Robert is at the beach looking out at the ocean is a callback to the book he was reading "The Old Man and the Sea". When he explains it to Alina, he says "the old man is the old man ~ you have to be who you are in this world" (something like that). In the end Robert realizes who he is and accepts it. This is the real message of the film.
Watch the Bollywood movie "Kapoor and Sons" next. Trust me you''ll love it 😍🙌
Adding it to our list now! Thank you! ❤
My friend the 'Stache is staching!
Haha thank you!!! 😂❤
@screamqueenshorrorpodcast You two have waaaaaay too much fun, and I'm here for it.
@@screamqueenshorrorpodcastjust seen the Equalizer 3 so 🔥🔥 you need to get to the Equalizer 2 soon so good also Dejavu and fallen also Denzel you can never go wrong with Denzel
OMG, I laughed my A$$ off at your introduction about what you think this movie would be about. DEI? Well, he does "Include" all the slime in the situation. He does give them "Equal" treatment, sort of. However, he is a little short on 'Inclusion' by taking out most of the slime from the same Country - sans a few corrupt people from the U.S. Oh well.
You're definitely not sports fans or you would know the shot of the Boston Gardens in the first few city shots in the movie. The Gardens is home to the NHL's Boston Bruins (hockey eh) & the MBA's Boston Celtics (basketball).
He is a former CIA operative
Wow really over your head!!
You need to enlarge the movie more please.
Who is you nel flanders?
HI DIDDLY HO NEIGHBOR!
Sorry😊

Try pausing it when you talk I can't see the movie.
Are you guys brother and sister?
Best friends :)
i can tell not together @@screamqueenshorrorpodcast
that shot I believe was a transition to show his descent on the city
If u want u r videos to get popular you need to react for some telugu movies, tamil movies recent indian blockboster movies like vikram, kgf-1, 2,eega-ss rajamouli,pushpa, Charlie 777,major...........so many movies so please focuss in these so that you can get good view your getting very very less views for recent movies like twilight saga such waste stuff do it in way that you can gain good views and money and read comments and ask viewers about suggest some movies and they will say...... Hope to good things happen to u r life and u r channel.... Love you maaam
The director of the 3 equalizer movies wants Denzel Washington son to play Robert in prequels
Nope...
What is wrong with you two? PAY ATTENTION!!
How can you watch this movie when you're blocking out 70 percent get lost
