Fun fact Denzel Washington Went through the training and did all his own Stunts in the movie. So he knows how to do all that stuff now.

As a kid, The Equalizer was one of my favourite tv shows (played by Edward Woodward) and I was a little uneasy about how they'd treat the character in a film but this was superb. Denzel just nails every role he plays. Honey has healing properties but I have to agree I wanted someone to be getting that in the face. What's wrong with us? lol

[@Alisuleivani94]

When it comes to this movie, Denzel, Washington nailed every single part of the movie, which is absolutely phenomenal from him to do that 👏

[@solarkid]

No one cares what you think boy

[@KneeJerkReactions13]

Denzel's character was so hard in this show, just cold blooded and efficient.

[@dannydavis1659]

This was a fantastic movie and I loved y"alls reaction.This is a reminder of a lesson that my dad gave me years ago. You never know who you're dealing with.They had no idea they were dealing with the original bad ass.

[@Kickinthescience]

What Keanu lacked in acting he made up with flashy action. Denzel on the other hand delivers his lines with the same amount of impact of his action scenes

[@MrHarbltron]

The scene with the honey seems to confuse a lot of people, but it's a natural antiseptic that we've been using on wounds for literally thousands of years.

[@deadsetondreams1988]

The only reason I knew about it was because I worked at a Veterinary Hospital, and we used Manuka Honey patches to help some of the animals heal 💙 Before that I wouldn't have had any idea what it was for lol

[@tararocksong5085]

Honey can be used to treat infections plus severe burns to the skin, but use the honey too much and it’ll feel like acid that’s eating you.

[@georgediperna3155]

Great reaction. He's a bad man. Can't wait for the 3rd one. I don't think Denzel is capable of making a bad movie. You guys will love the second one. deeper and more twists in the plot.

[@ar471]

I agree that Denzel is phenomenal, but Virtuosity, The Siege, and The Manchurian Candidate remake were all terrible movies.

[@kevinexline5392]

@@ar471 I understand you’re saying that because they said Denzel is incapable of making a bad movie, but the fact you mentioned The Siege (which was a good movie simply with a scattered plot) and the fact you mentioned only 3 movies in a collection that almost no one in history can reciprocate… yeah, that makes him that legendary. Every actor has made bad movies.

[@ChipJones421]

"He can't get away with being so cooool!" It's Denzel... the man is the definition of cool

[@ChurchOfTheHolyMho]

One of my favorite TV shows in the 80s... Each week Robert would get someone answering his newspaper ad, asking for help... So, the situations, antagonists, and protagonists were free to be completely different each week. Theme music was by Stewart Copeland (The Police). English actor Edward Woodward played the lead character, and was quite vocal in how much he hated the show (and American TV for that matter) - so the writing was on the wall for the show. It is probably one of those shows that you remember so fondly, and then you watch it with older eyes and think - why did I like that? A quick search says that a reboot TV series was made with Queen Latifah playing Robert... Um... ok... i guess. I can't really imagine her replacing Denzel's excellent performance. maybe it was good... she's not a bad actress - but this role? i have no idea.

[@chrischreative2245]

Yeah I haven’t seen reruns of The Equalizer on any station. I liked that show too,

[@johnmince1303]

Why does nobody remember the source material?

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

[@yg713]

Robert is really a great character. Part 2 is just as great if not better. A third one is coming out soon, I will definitely see it at the theater.

[@TheInfo45]

Denzel is by far one of my favorite actors. He is so dedicated to his craft. Everything he takes on he takes on fully for the training this film he worked relentlessly at. If you ever have a chance listen to a lot of his social media statements. So profound. Equalizer 2 is amazing and he has a third coming out very soon. So many films are his I would recommend but a few are for your patreon poles are training Day or John Q. Both phenomenal

[@williamsummerson1204]

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie, I hope you react to the sequel. Denzel Washington is one of the most talented actors ever, there is literally no role that he can't play.

[@faithnyou1732]

Now you MUST react to "The Equalizer 2". It reveals more of his back-story. Believe it or not, it's even better than this first one! I hope you react to it soon! Thanks for this great reaction! ✌💙✌

[@angelagraves865]

Queen Latifah plays the Equalizer on the TV show. She's always great. Also, if you're so inclined, The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand and directed by Joel Coen is beautiful, and as if I didn't already think Denzel was amazing, he killed it. I can't recommend it enough. I also recommend using subtitles with Shakespeare. Seeing it as well as hearing it really helps with the flow of understanding the Elizabethan English.

[@ericcannon222]

Agreed that a noose made out of freaking BARBED WIRE is one of the most horrifying deaths I can think of. You've got the slow terror of asphyxiation with what must be indescribable pain from all the gashes around your neck digging deeper with every second's pull of gravity. Kudos to whatever writer thought up THAT monstrosity...

[@Gavrev]

Honey does work in a pinch for cuts - it has antibacterial properties (which is why honey never spoils regardless of how long you keep it on the shelf), and its flexibility when dried makes it work well as a liquid bandage.

Really nothing changed from the screening except the Explosions got Bigger 😂 Love this movie can’t wait for the Third Film. And for you guys to react to the Second Film!

[@k.delpino1124]

Classic TV series becoming films or film franchises and actually being successful is a rarity. One is Mission Impossible. The other would be The Equalizer. One individual to even up the odds for the innocent. Bringing the pain to the bad guys that deserve it. I loved the classic tv series (1985-1989) as an kid. To have one of the great accomplished actors/filmmakers of film make something like this is very rare. Denzel as McCall/co-producer and Fuqua directing didn't try to copy the show, beat for beat (except for the last shot). I saw it in the IMAX format and it became Denzel's highest grossing film ever. Part 2 is even more kick-a** and grossed more than the first. It was revamped into a new original series with Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall and one of the producers. Part 3 is out this summer and it's gonna be incredible.

[@Myrdden71]

The series on CBS in the 1980s was great! Edward Woodward, English actor, played Robert McCall, and he was so good. Denzel is great in this role, too.

[@TheMaskedChef7]

You guys have the best intros on the platform love how you shame people into subscribing instead of ask them to it’s so funny 😂

[@ruth2141]

This is based on "The Equalizer" TV series that ran from 1985 to 1989. As in the end of the movie, the TV hero is an ex-agent who puts out an ad offering to help anyone who can't get help anywhere else. "Equalizer 2" has similar action to this, but expanded to more locations, and he's not just helping people he knows but strangers, some of whom answered his ad. There's another Equalizer TV series running now, with Queen Latifah as McCall. Unlike the movies, in both TV series McCall has associates, experts that they work with to bring down the bad guys.

[@rodgibbons9247]

[@deadsetondreams1988]

My parents took me to see the 3rd Equalizer in theaters, and I had to binge-watch this and the second one the night before. Out of all 3 they got better and better, and I enjoyed the 3rd one the most. Overall, the films are great, my main issues were with the villains, though. For me personally, it was odd because depending on the scene it felt like they switched up between actually being intimidating and trying too hard to pretend like they were tough guys. Obviously, to some extent, they were, but it would shift so frequently it gave me whiplash lol My biggest issue of all was their accents shifting. They had such great actors to play the villains, but the accents felt like they needed to be more accurate. They kept saying this gang was supposed to be Russian, this gang was supposed to be Irish, etc. but a majority of them didn't have the accent of the gang they represented. It kept taking me out of this one whenever the villains were on the screen. I love David Harbour in Stranger Things but his accent was one of the ones that killed me the most. He sounded like he was just straight up from Boston, but he was supposed to be a part of the Russian gang? I wish they just left all the nationality stuff out of it and it wouldn't have bugged me so much 😂Like with John Wick they weren't representing specific nationalities, but it felt like they just so happened to speak Russian which was more believable. They learned it, to communicate with one another so others can't tell when they are insulting them or saying something bad.

[@7thsealord888]

Great reaction, guys. For me, one MAJOR takeaway from the movie is this. If you MUST pick a fight with someone, don't ever do it in a hardware store. The movies are based on a popular TV series from the 1980s. It had a very different actor, but the exact same premise - former super-spy seeking to help people. His pattern was the same in both - a polite approach to the bad guys, usually with some kind of compromise or offer. Sometimes even reasonable and mutually beneficial. Then, when the bad guys inevitably refused, he would start completely dismantling said bad guys by hitting all their weak points.

[@racheldavin7763]

If I may add...if the bad guy in this movie is "smart and formidable" why did he lead McCall--a man he knew was a killing machine--to 1. a warehouse full of potential weapons, where 2. McCall had home-field advantage?
