The Equalizer (2014) First Time Watching | Movie Reaction  

When Robert is walking with Teri, he talks about another book he just started reading (it's 'Don Quixote') about a "guy who thinks he's a knight, only he lives in a world where knights don't exist anymore." That is what Robert is. A knight in a world where people need rescuing. Denzel is a legend. I love his portrayal of this character. Can't wait for the new movie coming out on the 1st. Great reaction!

Now, Equalizer 2.

In the 1980's television show this is based on, a mysterious British man who used to be an agent advertises that he will help people who can't get help anywhere else. Each week, he has a different client with a problem that he helps them solve, usually with violence. He doesn't work alone -- he has a younger American assistant and sometimes brings in experts in specific fields. At the end of Equalizer 1, Robert has evidently decided to start helping people in a similar manner, and Equalizer 2 will continue that story.

ahhhh you left one of the best scenes out , the restaurant scene

I have adopted Marian's "Game Over!" for my everyday use of language 😂😂

there is the equalizer 2 and then the 3rd movie is coming out this September! you should also watch the behind-the-scenes of how these films are created! it's a great watch. you have to pay attention to every detail in this series of movies! it's a masterpiece.

Robert is a former CIA agent , the song Midnight Train to Georgia is by Gladys Knight and the Pips ,the group Robert said he was in lol , Denzil was so good in this role cold and calculating but with a keen sense of justice for the underdog.

He gives people a CHANCE to do the right thing.

Song played over PA system in hardware store during the fight is from Gladys Knight and The Pips. A callback to the beginning of the movie.

He is Ex Marine and retired CIA. New one opens Friday in Cinema. 2nd one is good also.

26:53 "What the heck is that?!" It's a type of tree trimmer: a saw mounted on the end of a pole so you can remove tree branches from a distance.

As of right now there's currently to 2 of The Equalizer films the third Equalizer movie goes into Theatres this Friday September 1st.

Nice! Based on the 1985-1989 TV series of the same name. A former CIA operative turns vigilante to help those in need of his assistance.

The actor who played detective Masters also played black widow "dad" in the Black widow movie

Robert could be considered more deadly because as Joy says he appears so normal! His planning hits the bad guys left of field! Plus its Denzel! He is a Legend!

Things like that happen in the real world, the movie tells you that the good guys win, in the real world that never happens, money is power and the bad guys will always win.

So on a positive note, I like to say this. Denzel Washington comes from the city of Mount Vernon, New York. It is the same city that I grew up in. He makes us very proud to represent the city of Mount Vernon, New York. He never takes for granted where he's from. He always represents the city. We have a lot of talent from the city of mount vernon in different genres, whether it's actors, musicians, professional athletes, but denzel stands above them all. He makes a so proud.

This movie was filmed in my neighborhood 😅

Thanks for existing you guys 🙏🙏🙏

Great reaction! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 His background is: Defense Intelligence Agency or D.I.A. He also has OCD. He was a Spy, Hitman/Assassin, and Black Ops Operative (formerly) United States Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant (formerly) Skills: Military training, high intelligence, expert marksman, expert martial artist, high pain tolerance, expertise in weaponry, master tactician, knife mastery, explosive mastery, multilingualism

Wait till you see the second Equalizer. And number three is on the way!! You guys are great with your reaction / reviews. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

Greetings from Finland!!! Cannot wait to see your reactions to the sequel and part 3 came out last week!!! "i'll be back" 😎

Probably the youngest you are likely to see Denzel is in "Glory," a movie about the American Civil War. When you saw "Man on Fire," Denzel was 10 years younger than he is here in "The Equalizer." And in the new Equalizer movie, he'll be almost another 10 years older than he is here. Denzel has had an acclaimed career, but personally I like him best in "Man on Fire" and "The Equalizer." If you want to see him alongside a young Julia Roberts, there's "The Pelican Brief," and if you want to see him with a young Angelina Jolie, try "The Bone Collector." If you like heist movies, try "Inside Man."

Fun one, M&J! So, just so you know, that last fight in the warehouse store, the music he played over the intercom was a Gladys Knight & The Pips song. 🙂

This movie is great & one of my favorite action films. The sequel is great too. I think you both should add Training Day to your list with Denzel. It won him one out of his 2 Oscars. Also make sure when you watch Rambo: Last Blood to watch the Extended Cut.

Clint Eastwood's HIGH PLAINER DRIFTER... Clint Eastwood's PALE RIDER... "Who are YOU?!!" is the last screams of those bad guys, too.

Equalizer 2 tells you more of who he is.

I rip on alot of bad reactors on here when they deserve it. But you two are so awesome, what I like most is how humble both of you are, if your mistaken about something you own it. I like that you save all your talking to the end. But just had to let both of you awesome folks know you are loved, keep up ur awesome reactions!

Great choice. This movie is amazing. I never get tired of watching it. Denzel is my favorite actor all time. Dude can play any role.

Man on Fire is my favorite Denzel badass film

The Agency they are referring to is the three letter agency that sometimes conducts black ops and covert operations overseas.

Denzel is THE MAN!

To see Denzel as a young actor check out the "Pelican Brief" he and Julia Roberts are excellent in it. It is a great story and some great scenes. Good reaction. Thanks.

It's like The Punisher meets John Wick!☺️

Love you Guys❤ Thanks for another Great Reaction ❤

Soon as you watch E2 you will be ready for E3 that will be release this Friday 😃

When Teddy kills that girl by choking her is the most disturbing scene

Nice shirt, Marion. As always, Joy gets more beautiful every day.

Limitless

Other good Denzel Washington movies: "Man on Fire" (2004 remake) "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" (2009 remake) "Fallen" (1998)

The woman who played who was at hospital after she got beat up starred in The magnificent seven with Denzel Washington

If you wanna see young Denzel check out; "Ricochet"(1991) Also "John Q"(2002) & "Unstoppable"(2010) Great Performances

i loved the original series from the 80s, this version with Denzel Washington is also great!

Very good reaction , ❤ you two

Pls watch Ricochet with Denzel..he was young and nobody ever watches it..def an overlooked gem

The Equalizer series brought me here.

That man is perfection. Damn. 🙂

Check out the movie Glory for a young DW. I did very much enjoyed watching with you two and especially your discussion about this and John Wick.

I'd love to have a beer with you two. You seem like you'd be fun to hang out with.

Here we go! Real classic ❤

I suggest you guys watch the sequel. It explains a little bit more of who Robert is, why he is so skilled.

LOL i just noticed your shirt. You guys are funny

The Equalizer was a TV Series in the 80's, Edward Woodward played the original Robert McCall.

The Equalizer 2 now? .... Oh, and The Equalizer 3 is out now. 😎

Now watch Denzel Washington in MALCOLM X

You should react to more Denzel Washington movies. Fallen Safe House The Book of Eli Training Day And if you like this style of movie you will love the Jason Bourne movies. Highly recommend The Bourne Identity ASAP.

All I know is Robert is a better person than John wick. John wick is selfish af so this movie franchise will always be my favorite if we’re comparing the two 😂 Anywhoo great reaction

lovin that vest Marian!!!!!!! :)

The scene where the guy stole Jenni mom's ring and the money, if that was me I would have said out loud "hey this a-hole has a gun and he's robbing the place

Oh Joy😅🤗

You will like #2

Want to see a good movie where Denzel is young watch the movie deja vu. Trust me everyone will go crazy for that one. Love the way she says your name makes me laugh Marion

I think John Wicke is a bit too manic. So it's The Equalizer for me.

So glad you reacted to this first one! Now you have to react to 'The Equalizer 2". If you do, you will learn more about his background. It's just my opinion, but the second one is even better than the first one! Also, The Equalizer 3 is coming out in September! Thanks for a great reaction and analysis! ✌💙✌

GLORY. Young Denzel movie.

Who will win, John Wick with a pencil or Robert McCall with a book?

The actor with the goatee and stupid mustache who Robert killed by stabbing him in the back of his neck also play the guy who was killed by John wick in the club

The Equalizer 2 movie reaction please 💓💗💖💞🤘

Many channels have reacted to this movie recently, some good, some bad. Hopefully yours is good.

👊🏻

♥

Robert motto for his enemies is I will kill you but my only disappointment is i only got to do it once. He always make sure he will take his time to punish them in the worst way possible.

Love this movie. Robert doesn't just do things for fun or money, but does it to help people who can't defend themselves; the innocent, the oppressed etc, even if he has to break the promise he made to his deceased wife just so he could help the people he loves. An amazing point u made there Joy, about Robert also letting legal justice to have a play in the situation like calling cops, and letting people have 2nd chances, and not just deliver his own personal justice. Robert is both a former US marine and an elite operative/assassin of, I believe, DIA, Defense Intelligence Agency. DIA is similar to CIA, but its mission objectives are on different targets, individuals, organizations etc.

I miss this movie, and this movie is nice. Cant wait to see your reaction and check it out again.

Game Over, I want to see a badass Denzel movie called GAME OVER then you can review

You can’t really go wrong with a Denzel Washington movie in my book. Equalizer 2 is my favorite though. Thanks guys for the reactions. 👏🏽👍🏽

Who is this man? Ummm...he's The Equalizer.

Maybe have John Rambo, John Wick, and Robert McCall all team up just once 😆

Do you make it clear to your patreons that you've seen a movie before? Because I'd be very disappointed if I paid you to watch a movie and find out later that you've already seen it.

Hey guys!! AWESOME reaction! This is my favorite Denzel Washington movie....now, you must react to part 2. You'll love it as well

I think you guys will like Denzel Washington in John Q that was a great movie.

please react to 3 ninjas movie serie 🙏

The "spear" that McCall used is a "pole saw": a saw blade on the end of a pole used for cutting branches off of a tree.

The "shipment" was probably either gasoline (into the US) or alcohol (going out). It is smuggled and then sold retail without paying taxes on the product. There was a real incident in the 1990's where the Russian mob was legally purchasing grain alcohol (95% or 190 proof) from US manufacturers (and paying US alcohol tax), then adding blue or green coloring and labeling it as either "mouth wash" or "window cleaner" and shipping it in bulk containers (200 liter barrels) to Russia. In Russia they set up a "Walter White" lab to remove the coloring, then diluted it to 50% with distilled water, bottled it, and and sold it as vodka without paying the Russian tax on alcohol. With all of the expense of shipping and processing it was still profitable when not paying the Russian alcohol tax. When the FBI and Russian FSB broke up the operation there was $1 BILLION (with a "B") in alcohol seized at the various stages of the operation.

Great movie. This movie is based on an old 80s tv show. The sequel is horrible . Other great movies like this are Jack Reacher. and Taken. A great Denzel movie you should see is John Que a really great drama/suspense movie.

The John Wick universe is surreal, silly and difficult to identify/connect with and therefore the movies are nothing but "dumb" action movie guilty-pleasure entertainment. Sure, even with the Equalizer series, it does push our beliefs as to what a single well-trained ex-government field officer/asset is capable of, but it still feels a lot more real and genuine. Well paced, suspenseful, mysterious, as oppose to John Wick's balls-on-the-table everyone knows who/what he is, everyone is a dangerous killer in their own right. Love Keanu but I'd pick The Equalizer series every time.

If you're wanna see him in a movie when he was young, watch ''A Soldier's Story'' (1984), one of my favorite movies of all time, and I still haven't seen anyone reacting on it on RU-vid (at least the ones I'm subscribed to). Another great movie with Denzel Washington (which also nobody reacts on RU-vid) is ''Devil in a Blue Dress'' (1995). Greetings From The Netherlands.

Both John wick and Robert McCall stop doing what they were doing because of there wives

Denzel owns every role he's in.

A former CIA operative

Other good similar movies (best first): "Eastern Promises" (2007) w/ Viggo Mortensen "A History of Violence" (2005) w/ Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris "The November Man" (2014) w/ Pierce Brosnan "Payback" (1999) w/ Mel Gibson "Parker" (2013) w/ Jason Statham "The Accountant" (2016) w/ Ben Affleck

Shipping drugs and guns so he blew it up.

Spoiler warning for JW4 since you already reacted to it... In JW4, John was fighting to be free of the table, but he also went through the duel for Caine and Mia as well. He was willing to go through the duel which would kill him for the sake of others and not just himself. Makes you wonder what he'd be like in JW5 if it's going to actually happen.

I have been waiting for you 2 to react to this!

So who would win in a fight... Baba Yaga or The Equalizer?
