Now I know the reason why I found a tiny spot of blood on my brand new hammer.

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.

Then you'll love John Wick when he's not fighting.

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

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.

@TA K: Oh my Lord, U Can't Touch This (comment) ... Dad Joke HOF 🏆 ❗ 🔨⏲ ..

@@JoeMCool hehe Thanks Joe

I see what you did there

Additional hammer joke

He had to learn his lines over and over till he was able to hammer them in.

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

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.

@@dreadcthulhu5 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.

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?

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?

That separate good director with the not-good director

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

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??

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.

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.

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

@@juna61 ABSOLUTELY a CLASSIC

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.

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.

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'd say Equalizer 1 is better than 2.

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

Burn notice fan here

Me 3

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

😂😂😂😂😂

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

🤣

@Petal Pusher not really, at least they don’t talk your ear off before killing you.

YES!

Make sure you apologize as well.

The imagination is ALWAYS worse than reality. That is human nature.

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.
