He doesn’t have powers he’s just highly trained. He wasn’t slowing down time he was just concentrating.

[@artbagley1406]

Robert/Bob is also "just a little" obsessive-compulsive. In-store speaker message: "Clean-Up in the Employees' Break Room!"

[@PE4Doers]

Special forced operatives train to speed up their brains - sort of what automatically happens when you are in a car accident and the adrenaline rush speeds up you brain functions and appears to slow down time. It has bee said that they voluntarily use some special drugs (during advanced training) to induce that state at a critical period. Once they have done enough training, they can induce it though mind-control. Imagine the focus you can attain when you know that happens. No proof of that, of course, but there have been security 'leaks' about that taking place.

[@carladavis1473]

😂😂😂😂

[@PE4Doers]

Just don't forget the quote that opened the movie. 'What are the two most important days in your life? The day you are born, and the day you found out why." Also, when he was talking about that book - "A man has to be a man and fish has to be a fish"

[@movieman1556]

Never saw two people get so much of a films story and characters WRONG!

[@deadassdgaf100]

i was curious HOW they made it this far in life still breathing 🤦🏻‍♀️....they def medical miracles - needa be studied for science texts.

[@carladavis1473]

Me either! 😂😂😂

[@craiganderson5813]

Denzel's character has OCD btw. This is why he brings his own tea bag to the diner, has only one cup and plate in his house and etc.

[@georgealvarez1195]

The writer of the most iconic version of The Punisher and the guy that gave us the definitive version of The Punisher, the legend Mike Baron, was asked at a ComicCon panel who he thought the best Punisher was. At the time, the Punisher had several movies already, multiple show appearances and was getting his own Netflix show. Mike Baron said "Denzel Washington in The Equalizer"

[@Redd21481]

You guys will love the 2nd Equalizer. 2 really badass scenes here's a hint the 1st deals with a new friend to Robert and the 2nd deals with Robert's "Family" cause it's all about help and company😀 Awesome show there you two keep up the terrific work 👌 👏 👍 😀

[@mirtieraczo5842]

Bob, short for Robert, is a former Marine and CIA officer so that's why he fights the way he does. He doesn't have powers! He's just very observant and looks around for what he can use as weapons. He can't slow time down, there's nothing sinister going on and he's not a serial killer. He feels like he needs to make up for all the killings he was part of when worked for the government so now he helps weak and the oppressed people. Definitely check out Equalizer 2. I actually liked it better than this one. Plus, Pedro Pascal, (Joel from The Last of Us) is in it.

[@_VISION.]

CIA

[@mirtieraczo5842]

@@_VISION. thank you@

[@tylerm7300]

In equalizer 3 he hints that he doesn't know if he's a Good man. I think of him as a dexter type. Part of him is sinister and he uses it for justly things.

[@Aka_daka]

I prefer the Equalizer films over John Wick, don't know what it is... must be Denzel's acting it's fair to say he is a notch above Keanu Reeves in terms of acting talent no disrespect, I feel like John Wick is more full blown brainless action.

[@willcopeland275]

That’s a blown brainless comment

[@ShaniceXO26]

They didn’t just meet though. That’s what they were showing when they started talking when we saw them the first time 😂 that diner has been their spot where they’d talk from across the room which is why she asked him about his book. Keep up 🤣

[@freddieNyack]

BBC series The Equalizer. The original retired British Agent who advertised his help.

[@Bonviewkellee]

His name is Robert Mcall...hence..Bob Also he is former "special forces assassin " The lady he went to see was his former handler

[@TeddyKGB12]

CIA, not "special forces"

[@Yatt___]

@@TeddyKGB12DIA and marine corps look it up the director even confirms it and in the second one you see clues of his marine corps uniform

[@TeddyKGB12]

@@Yatt___ most people in the CIA start out in a branch of the basic military. But he was strictly CIA when he "died". And if you notice, the lady he went to for "permission" to take out Teddy said "I'm not at the Agency anymore" meaning the CIA. He very well may have started out in the military, but that's not what he was in when he faked his death, he was strictly CIA at that point. Special Forces are under the military. That's who we send for a hostage situation, rescue mission, or some other military operation. A CIA operative is who we would send to infiltrate the inner circle of a public figure overseas or to gather intelligence. To think the two are the same thing shows a lack of basic understanding of what they do and how they operate. Everyone thinks "special forces" is a blanket term that covers everything. Not even close.

[@Yatt___]

@@TeddyKGB12look it up what agency was Robert McCall was under , the director of the movie even claims Robert mcalls character was under the DIA DEFENSIVE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY if you don’t believe me you can inbox me or something and I can confirm the information for you

[@greggross8856]

@@TeddyKGB12 The CIA actually has a paramilitary unit that can perform both those functions. Used to be known as the Special Activities Division, now called the Special Activities Center. Their members are Paramilitary Officers and most of them are former "operators" from Tier 2 and Tier 1 units.

[@bigwill8145]

Okay he keeps on saying I don't know Robert you brought this on yourself at what part in the movie did Robert ever feel like he was upset that he brought it on himself plus it's awesome that he's taking these pieces of s*** out

[@kimberlyhaas1]

pay close attention to all details in all 3 movies they all coincide with one another! Watch Man on fire with Denzel as well because in the 3rd movie, 2 people come back that played in Man on fire!!

[@TheMightyOdin]

I think the “permission” he got was to take out that Russian mafia.

[@bigb2494]

The word permission was just a metaphor for Susan reassuring him it's ok for him to be himself and do what he felt was right.

[@michaelshafer5192]

Mair is wrong about Robert almost every time and blames him for everything. What ?

[@rashadwalker8218]

Hes a skilled fighter who has a photo graphic memory and analyze everything before making a move he don't have powers lol

[@l.piloto7964]

Robert McCall in this version is a former MARSOC (Marine Special Operations) turned ISA (that is like CIA Special Operators) who faked his death to leave that life behind to honor his wife's dying wish. When your body is stressed, it goes into flight or fight mode. high levels of cortisol and adrenaline are released into the blood stream causing you to perceive time as slowing down. This is really your brain processing sensory input faster. With the right training and experience you cannot just react faster but think in a controlled manner. This is what the camera is trying to explain quickly. Honey has antimicrobial healing properties and has been used for thousands of years for healing.

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

Denzel - everything that guy does is top shelf. Like this series even more than Bond and Wick. His style just adds a little something extra the others don't have.

[@brettcloud8550]

Seriously. I cannot name a movie he's in that I don't like.

[@artbagley1406]

Gotta include Jason Bourne in this group, too!

[@Bunny99s]

Exactly. The point is that Robert doesn't work for anybody or acting irrationally or impulsive driven by pure anger and wrath (like john wick) but instead tries to stay under the radar and only acts when he sees it's absolutely necessary. When he acts it's always thoughtful and calculated and only what's necessary. Some may say when he took out the russians it was over the top, however he was 1 against 5 so the only way to reach the goal was to go full in. John Wick does "play around" way too much which actual weapon and martial arts experts have already pointed out. Actual special forces try to minimize variables and don't take chances. You have one shot and you have to get it right with the least risk for youself or others. He's driven by the urge to putting things right which are wrong from his perspective. So it's kinda part of his OCD character. Yes, what he does is still wrong and we know it. This is not how justice works by our own rules. Though he goes after those which do not play by the rules either and those who sneak through. When corrupt cops and people in power are covering such businesses, justice falls dead in its tracks. This still doesn't make it right what he does, but gives some kind of satisfaction that he brings their own game back to them in order to equalize the odds. Of course he's also only driven by his own subjective sense of morality and justice and you better hope it aligns with your own :)

[@meanlean3095]

You should see the equaliser episodes even though they are well over 40 years old they are superb as well 😄👍

[@2tone753]

A very good and special film. A person who acts like a link and is highly valued by everyone else. The Pips were the male part (3 men) who were the background + choreography of "Gladys Knight & Pips. And I believe that Alina knew exactly how far his help went. There is also communication between prostitutes. Suddenly the members of this criminal group were eliminated. This is noticeable to everyone who has to work and suffer in this terrible profession. Great work from both of you.

[@Emotionless0000]

It's in his mind, the way he process, but he doesn't slow down time. He's an ex CIA assassin.

[@PE4Doers]

He is able to speed up his brain by forcing an adrenaline gush. Sort of like when you are in, or about to be in, a car accident. I've experienced that and I'm sure many people reading this have also had that happen. With the 'right' training, I've heard a person can learn to do that. That skill can give you an edge if you are expecting it to take place - correct?

[@kennymonty8206]

Most people in the US have no idea how ruthless the rest of the world is. It's truly more brutal than you want to know about.

[@PE4Doers]

I grew up in BedStuy Brooklyn during the mid 1970, so unfortunately I do know. People I loved did not make it out alive.

[@anonymous19844]

Teddy was his alias name. His real name, Robert found out, was Nicolai.

[@daredevil272]

I really enjoyed Equalizer 1 with you guys as it’s my fourth time watching it😁🔥. Robert McCall is one of Denzel Washington’s most iconic characters and one of my roles of his🤩. The story was great and not dragged as it was well timed, and I loved the action sequences, and the way it was choreographed was so well done and it looked so precise when Denzel did it. I watched Equalizer 3 yesterday at the theaters and I really liked it. I hope you guys react to Equalizer 2 and 3 soon as I’ll be looking forward to it. Loved your reaction/analysis, take care, enjoy life, stay healthy and have a good one❤️

[@deadassdgaf100]

🤦🏻‍♀️ y'all slow-slow, ON GOD

[@brandonarthur93]

If you want to see a flame thrower watch Hacksaw Ridge ... great movie and based on real events

[@reactioncompilationallstars]

These two have no conception of OCD.

[@willcopeland275]

They don’t have much of sense

[@raquelchukwurah1185]

Y’all mair is too funny! “He catching the bus”!! 😂😂😂 loved the reaction, cut off some of my fav scenes tho but that alright ❤

[@beastlydevil777]

You guys should watch Glory! It has Denzel, Morgan Freeman, and other notable actors.

[@brandonarthur93]

its a blow torch ... flame thrower made me laugh so hard XD

[@freddieNyack]

thank you Mair never choose anything on the first row. laughing

[@roboct6]

I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, Robert was a CIA operative. The gang, basically, picked a fight with James Bond.

[@Yatt___]

Not CIA DIA and former marine corps

[@denilleedwards-harding1892]

We need more Denzel Washington movies, starting with JOHN Q or TRAINING DAY🎉❤ plz

[@jrpearcey9352]

Just discovered your channel today. Denzel Washington is pure class. Great reaction!

[@CanadaDan]

On the 2nd part you'll get a better idea of his background/training. 2 more movies to go, you'll enjoy both, then you can watch 'Man on fire' and other awesome Denzel movies

[@michellerahe4853]

The reason why he said "im sorry" after offing the Russian guys he was actually saying sorry to his late wife because he promised her he wouldn't do jobs like that to people again

[@TheCashcrue]

You would also like Man on Fire. Its another Denzel movie that's very similar.

[@carladavis1473]

This Robert McCall has OCD. They never mention it but they expect you to know. Denzel does this for some reason. He's played 3 characters with different disabilities but they never actually mention it in the movie. They just expect you to figure it out. Unfortunately most people dont.

[@BIGxBOSSxx1]

Nah they thought he had superpowers 😭

[@willcopeland275]

They are not brightest

[@davidyoungsr753]

There's a reason there are so many dirty cops in the movies. Its kinda true. Since the beginning of cops

[@kumasabi]

Nice reaction mates , Can I recommend Nobody please and thanks , it's a great action movie aswell

[@craiganderson5813]

37:49 Lmao!! That's the EXACT same reaction I had, too. 😂

He waaaaaaay better than John Wick

[@naiciastephens2023]

Does it matter their both good

[@_VISION.]

@naiciastephens2023 if a character is better then they're better, cope. Jon Wick has a terrible character development. It's a terrible character overall.

[@naiciastephens2023]

@_VISION. you see your weird...cause I really don't see the point of comparing too great movie franchises against each other for no reason other than each movie franchise has great movie killers it's whatever..

@@naiciastephens2023 they mentioned it in the video, go cry about it, cope, do whatever you need to do

Dirty cop wanted just put leverage against the store for money. So He punished them. No link to the mafia.

Is this kinda stuff real.. yes. Thats all u need to know.

[@accountablehog]

You guys are great. Great movie, great reaction.

[@Topshelfloser3324]

You can get flavors out of healthy food, just not the right ones😂😂😂😂😂 jkjk

[@OneJourney3]

Wow! You guys are not understanding the movie at all. You are not reacting to the movie, rather, you attempted to predict and/or tell the story before each scene. You got all most everything you commented and remarked on incorrect, or you just misunderstood it. As an example, Robert knew Alana work history, long before, the scene showing them walking together. Also, after 15 min of viewing the film, you didn't catch that he was not only calculating, but also possibly suffers from OCD. Robert is always several steps ahead of the bad guys.

[@TheCashcrue]

My favorite Denzel Washington movie is Fallen with Denzel and John Goodman. Its a great suspenseful mystery. You'll love it.

[@blakem1932]

Your favorite movie with Denzel Washington is Fallen with Denzel? Makes sense

[@アキコ2003]

Disagree, you can't get good flavor out of vegetables and leaves
