The Equalizer 3 (2023) First Time Watching! Movie Reaction!!

[@Mr_J_n_the_H]

How many people noticed in this movie with the final boss McCall did something he never did. He didn't give the final bad guy a chance. After the town stood up he went straight to work. Also I think this film truly shows the true capabilities of Robert and what he used to do we've always seen it but never to this extent.

20:30 “…because of these people I’m starting to understand peace. You can’t take that away from me” 🔥🔥🔥

[@allthingstamtam]

Fallen, Book of Eli, Safe House, John Q., Pelham 123, The Bone Collector, Philadelphia & The Manchurian Candidate are top tier! All his movies are great, but these show a wide range of acting abilities. Love him!! 🤩

[@lexkanyima2195]

Malcolm X

[@dts51sound]

I commented 17 films and still missed Collector, Fallen and John Q. The man has an amazing filmography!

[@isaacherrera8194]

Fallen is a GREAT movie. one of his best.

[@swedishZ0mBi3]

yeah and I can add like 15 more movies I love as well xD Denzel is a legend. Deja Vu is brilliant and underrated.

[@estel5335]

Book of Eli so underrated

[@Jordashian93]

It’s sweet that Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning reunited after working together in Man on Fire

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Robert McCall's previous identity was John Creasy, a former CIA operative who got hired by a Mexican gangster to be his daughter's bodyguard. The daughter, named "Pita", gets kidnapped and Creasy rescues her by "surrendering" himself to the Mexican gangsters. It's implied that he died under the gang's hands. What isn't commonly known is that Creasy singlehandedly eliminates all the Mexican gang members and goes back to work for the CIA with his handler, Susan Plummer. He fakes his death, and starts living his life as a civilian under the name of "Robert McCall". Pita goes under witness protection and is adopted by Susan and Bill Plummer, not knowing that Pita was Creasy/McCall's principal/protectee. She then takes the name "Emma Collins" and starts working for the CIA. Their story is continued in Equalizer 3.

[@Renegade2786]

Funny as in both films Denzel was about to off himself with his gun, but the gun jammed/out of ammo.

"Fallen" is an underrated Denzel gem. Should check it out.

[@enlightenmenttv2287]

I already made my fair share of suggestions on a previous comment, but I gotta say, reading these comments and seeing all these suggestions is a great reminder of just how incredible and legendary Denzel's body of work is.

[@VolatileSupernova]

"His killing watch" LOL too accurate! I don't know why but when you said that I heard the guy from Rick and Morty saying "Oh boy, here I go killin' again!" in my head.

[@gizmoswr679]

Training Day is a must see. Great reaction, y'all are killing it.

[@ck_idgaf1680]

Yes, this was a good send off and yes, Denzel has already said this is the last one for him, "McCall has found a home".

[@ADifferentVibe]

I personally think this is the best of the 3 films. A slow burn that makes the end feel so impacting.

[@kimberlyhaas1]

FACTS

[@adamroche1409]

American Gangster is definitely worth checking out Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe some of their best acting and a fantastic Ridley Scott film

[@williamsummerson1204]

Daniel and Samantha are simply the best. I love this trilogy so much, Denzel Washington is a legend.🙏❤

[@ryanfeit1420]

I am not sure if you've reacted to "Courage Under Fire" released in 1996 but if not is highly recommended. Meg Ryan co-stars in the film as well, which is mainly a war film but very good.

[@Parrothead76]

I forgot about that film! It was good!

[@martman319]

I would definitely recommend "Philadelphia" and "John Q" for your next Denzel films.

[@chrisferguson1911]

The Amalfi coast. Denzel vacations there and thought it would make a beautiful place to film...he ain't wrong.😍

[@scwotz]

My Denzel recommendations, Flight, should have got an Oscar, Book of Eli (with Gary Oldman) Deja Vu (Val Kilmer).

[@toonami99]

Virtuosity, Out of time, the bone collector. Theres so many more that I cant think of.

[@jimmyintn980]

The Bone Collector is one of my favorite Denzel movies. The Siege is a good one too.

[@soulstealer82]

watch The Siege with Denzel and Bruce Willis, its very good

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction like always, if you look closely in the end the fact he forgot his spoon was so crazy. His comfort and love there is curing some of his OCD!! Keep up the good work.

[@chadwickvon8019]

"Fallen" is a Denzel movie worth checking out.

[@nickgoodnough6262]

Fallen is one of the great Denzel Washington performances. You've mentioned The Hurricane, so I don't know if you've seen that one already, but it's worth a sitting as well. On another note congratz on the addition to your family. From 6-24 months old your baby's ability to learn is at it's highest. I'm not affiliated with the company in any way but the "Your Baby Can Read" DVD series is amazing if you want your child to have a leg up in life. I've seen several kids able to fluently speak/read/write 3 or more languages by the age of 2 with the program. Not genius kids or anything, but who's parents used these amazing tools.

[@urniebarnes]

Definitely more Denzel/Tony Scott collabs (Crimson Tide, Deja Vu, Taking of Pelham 123, Unstoppable), as well as some Denzel/Spike Lee collabs (Mo' Better Blues, Malcolm X, He Got Game, Inside Man).

[@harley2704]

Be sure to check out “Crimson Tide” for another terrific Denzel Washington performance. Also, “Malcom X”.

[@ACsPianoCorner]

Great reaction as always. Love watching the rollercoaster of emotions you went through. IMO, Denzel rarely makes a bad movie so you have plenty more to see. That said, I suggest you try to watch the following Denzel movies… 1. Training Day. 2. The Bone Collector. 3. Inside Man 4. American Gangster 5. The Taking of Pelham 123

[@Wash869]

This movie is excellent

[@SGz_Eliminated]

This entire movie is essentially a farewell for Roberts character, its about him finally finding closure and coming to peace with himself. As we learn at the beginning he was just trying to help someone get his retirement fund back but in the process stumbled upon something much larger but its not what he's there for. We also see him get shot in the back by the child, something Robert in his prime would never had fallen victim to but he's getting old, he's slowing down, he's not on his game anymore. When he wakes back up he considers himself on borrowed time, he's grateful and respectful but he has no plan he's just living in the moment. He gets to know the locals and decides he's likes this little slice of peace he's found but the gangs dealings rub his conscious the wrong way, he tries to ignore it but it continues to escalate, disturbing his chance at peace to the point he decides to take action again even though he no longer wanted to and considered himself done with it. He puts his watch back on and gets the work done, a final deed, now he can enjoy his peace. That's an extremely brief take but you get the idea and can fill in the blanks. I also think there's a lot of religious undertones in this one but I lack the knowledge to be able to explain the symbolism. Ultimately its a great movie and heartfelt goodbye for the character, it isn't meant to feel like the first two and that's okay

[@angelomaurizio1668]

I'm surprised you two haven't seen 'Training Day', Washington received an Academy Award for Best Actor in that movie.

I just watched this the other day. A great movie and performance by Denzel.

[@VonPunk]

I really liked this movie too and I agree it felt different. I hope this the end of the series as far as Denzel goes, he seemed noticeably older and likely did less of the action sequences himself judging on how they were filmed and edited, his talent is still strong in the acting department. Pretty sure they've talked about doing a younger McCall in future films which I think has a wider scope for story telling. More Denzel?, a big Yes. I really want 'Training Day' and 'Courage Under Fire' next, love them movies and quote them quite a bit.

[@Wash869]

I have a movie recommendation for you to react to: REC (2007), a Spanish horror in the Found Footage style, very good and insane, with claustrophobic moments and a remarkable ending, you'll like it.

[@user-jg3pr5rw3t]

Very good movie

[@user-jg3pr5rw3t]

[@tonysaourn9220]

I've seen all the equalizer movie and I still think the 2014 still the best.

[@harmontp]

Robert is shown in this film as the human embodiment of the Angel of Death, shown in his almost supernatural visage when he goes completely dark. But, he also knows what he is, what he is capable of, and truly doesn't want to wear the shadows anymore.

[@Whitebrowpriest]

"The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" (1989) starring: Helen Mirren, Tim Roth. Incredible film! We actually had to study it in film school.

[@msmilder25]

Would love to see a Equalizer-Taken-Transporter crossover hahaha...three badass dudes with particular sets of skills.

[@Renegade2786]

*The Siege* is a Denzel film that you should watch next, that also stars Bruce Willis and this came out three years before 9/11.

[@glennbotes8937]

Two underrated Denzel movies, Fallen and Out of time, Eva Mendez. Also, Inside Man, if you haven't seen it already.

[@osmanyousif7849]

Odd thing to praise, but I am so glad they didn’t make Agent Conroy (David Denman) into a villain. Considering how the other two movies felt the need to throw in a bit of contrivance and have a corrupt cop or agent that causes the plot to happen or leads to wondering how any group of criminals knew where McCall was, I was legit, thinking that they were going to do the same thing with his character, and whenever something bad was happening, it was because they were gonna throw in a plot twist where it’s revealed that he was working with the Mafia. But surprisingly, they didn’t go that route, which I think really works.

[@JB-nc7yk]

Equalizer 3 was so brutal that it almost makes you question whether Denzel was the villain of the movie…lol incredible film.

[@yg713]

I love how in this movie Robert finds peace. I believe the reason this one feels different than the previous 2 is that we do not see him in action until past the halfway point of the movie. We see him getting hurt and contemplating his end. The next hour is the bond forming between him and the community. Two other Denzel favorites of mine are "Antwone Fisher" from 2002 and "The Book of Eli" from 2010.

[@Nicholasmcmath-cr1xl]

I think it's a great full circle story because he was still avenging Susan's death. His violence level really escalated at the end of #2 especially his last kill of Dave. So the beginning of this has picked up where he left off. Such a sweet ending again of looking out for Susan's daughter. Dakota did a great job of reminding us of Susan as she paid attention to the details of the room they were searching. Very nice reunion of she and Denzel

“Fallen” is a good movie starring Denzel and co starring John Goodman. Also Denzel’s first movie is “Wilma”. “Flight” is a good one starring Denzel as an alcoholic pilot. “The Bone Collector” and “John Q” are also good movies. A 1975 gem about Olympian Wilma Rudolph where Denzel portrays Wilma’ love interest. For a more Caribbean Denzel, you should watch The Mighty Quinn.

[@Natedawgg84]

Just as Denzel Washington improvised his famous "King Kong ain't got shit on me!" line in Training Day, he improvised again in this movie as he began singing the hymn, "I know it was the blood!" at the end as he watches the dying gang leader overdosing on his own product in the streets! 😉

I saw EQ3 twice, Dolby Cinema & IMAX at AMC. Seeing how far McCall has come as this force of nature is quite the experience. Having him near death and defeat was hard to look at. I really thought he was gone for good. He reveals more of his invulnerablity as he gets to know the people of this Italy province. Seeing the best of them and the worse of them. Of course, McCall truly lives up to his name by dealing out the most major punishment to these mafia goons and their boss getting it the worse is well-deserved. Onscreen with Dakota Fanning after 20 years since 'Man on Fire' was some great conversational scenes and dialogue. The reveals of McCall's reason for being overseas and Fanning's agent character made me feel so good. That everything happens for a reason, no mistakes or consequences. This brought a tear to my eye as an worthy finale indeed. Glad to have been along for it. Justice perfectly balanced as it should be.

[@antoinettelopes]

I saw this 10 times in the theater. It's my favorite of 2023 and I've seen around 70 movies this past year. I had been looking forward to JW4 which I ended up not liking. But this ended up being the awesome I expected from that movie. Love the villains, love the music, love Italy. This was right in my wheelhouse. 🥰 There's a lot of Denzel you should watch. He's played a few real life characters. Maybe you could do one of those for black history month like MALCOLM X, THE HURRICANE, CRY FREEDOM, etc.

Can still remember when Denzel Washington had his 1st major role & stole the movie from the main (well known) actors. Few know of it, a 1981 film called 'Carbon Copy' staring George Segal, Susan Saint James, Jack Warden, & Paul Winfield. Not the best movie ever made, but you'll see Denzel Washington shine early in his career.
