What I like about this scene is it gives us another glimpse into McCall's past without telling us verbally. Its done through imagery - 1:05 the USMC dress blues, packed with ribbons and the Gunnery Sergeant insignia visible. Earlier in the film when Dave is in a briefing room talking to McCall on the phone about Susan, you see the logo of the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) - so we know he was a DIA operator in his past after the Marines. These little snippets, and given we have seen what McCall can do, we know he's extremely dangerous and capable but its never really said verbally. Its always shown. If it were a novel you could say its doing "Show, don't tell" which is the golden rule of good writing!! And every time the question is put to McCall, both in the first film by Teddy before his death, and even at the end of number 2 by the Kid - "Who are you?"......McCall never answers. So he doesn't TELL us. He SHOWS us through his actions. That's what I think anyway haha :)
I was wondering why he'd have a panic room that can be entered by smashing a mirror. Then I realized it wasn't...it's a surveillance room for him to hunt down intruders.
If it can be smashed, it can also be shot through from inside the mirror. He wouldn't want to hide from intruders, he'd want to be able to neutralize them and bursting/shooting through a mirror which gives you perfect visibility is a great surprise attack
If I were the kid, I would not have left that hiding spot for 3 days - just to make extra sure they're totally gone. This scene gave me more heart attack than horror movies.

Denzel is so badass, the way he casually tells Dave etc to just water his plants knowing that Miles is trapped there, man Robert McCall is such a cold, professional character.

Not that anyone cares, but if you put your finger against a mirror, and you see a gap between your finger and the reflection, it's usually a genuine mirror. If your finger is touching the reflection, it could mean it's a two way mirror.
@@loucifer9618 - That I said? I'm just pointing out a way to tell if a mirror is two way, or one way. More useful knowledge for women who might be worried about it.
@Hatakay - I'm weird because you're too thick to suss out that their are creepy people out their why might install a 2 way mirror to spy on women? Though you're some weeb, so it explains why you're more dense than a bag of hammers. You can find any number of stories of people renting rooms in motels, or houses, or various places where they found two way mirrors. This is a good way to check if women aren't sure and have a bad feeling about something.

Kid definitely grew up without a concerning Mom or Dad that checked if you were asleep or not when you were young. I could go from using my phone or computer covertly use it like I was hacking into a facility and go to fake sleep mode the moment they opened the door to check on me.

I don't care what people say about the kid having not been exposed to that amount of stress or any of that. Anyone with common sense, period, would know to shut up and be quiet. He'd be the first to die in a crisis situation due to lack of common sense. He knew what he went into and how he got in. Also that nobody else would see it. He knew that he put the book back, too. At that age, he should be able to put 2 and 2 together. If not, well...sucks to be him.
when people point gun at me, i usually move, on the other hand, when i think there might be a killer on the other side of the mirror, i dont write emojis on it and point gun afterwards, i assume he has a gun too and shoot immidiately.

When Denzel Washington says "You're going to go to war with me," expect to see something that will almost make us jump out of our seats!
he says pull the native son book and then he goes on to Star in Native Son. Pretty cool.
Lesson learned: Don't mess with McCall & Wick
Throw in Bryan Mills from “Taken” Talk about a Trifecta 😎
So intense and nerve wracking! Brilliant director and actor combo
His adversary will also know there is a reason that McCall made a call and would have stuck around to look for whatever for more.
