While Denzel is of course outstanding, both the writing and the direction deserve a lot of credit. The close shots of every small detail Denzels character takes in (including the kids coming in which prevented a fight right there), the license plates, the photos and the way they don't show us the actual violence but just cut back to the store the next day to show us who the character is. The viewer realizes that this is someone not to be messed with.

[@guibox3]

And yet...we all wanted to see it happen. Ha ha.

[@kaisokusekkendou1498]

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.

I may be wrong but here's how I interpret the scene... the store is robbed, and Denzel sees how easy it was, so he decides to steal a hammer. The robber feels guilty or perhaps is nervous about being caught so he returns the stolen ring. Denzel, following suit, decides to return the hammer.

[@Yokumare]

You are joking... right? Just making sure because some people are really like this

[@RubenSprng]

Nope, he definitely used that hammer to smack the shit out of that robber.

[@McGregorGirl]

Crazy but true story. Decades ago, I worked at Target. One of the areas I covered was luggage. One night while I was straightening the area out. I was putting a suitcase that was at the wrong place and heard something clattering in there. People would often put other items in luggage and walk out with them because often it was too big to go over the scanner, and a scan gun was just used. So, I opened it to retrieve whatever it was and it was a knife with blood on it! Of course, police were called and they made sure to ask if I'd touched it. I told them I watch too many cop shows to be that stupid. LOL Not sure what happened after that, but it is something I won't forget

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

That's nuts! Do you think it was a murder weapon?

[@painkilerr]

It seems like a prank to me. If a crime was committed with the knife, why take the risk to travel with it and leave it somewhere you know it would be found! While if you dispose of it in a river/lake etc. there is a chance it never will! Additionaly, Targe has cameras, not that you found the person who dumped it … but there is a chance it would have been on camera.
