Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

“When you pray for rain you gotta deal with the mud too” - love that line.

Denzel is the baddest badass I have ever seen. Everything he does is so smooth, methodical, almost surgical in nature. He really makes every role he plays come alive fully. We are really so blessed to have this man. Thank you for all the incredible movies Denzel.

The thing that makes Denzel’s character so great, is his optimism. With all the horror he’s seen in his life, he still believes people are inherently good. He gives everyone a chance, hopeful that they will do the right thing. And he’s genuinely sad when they make the wrong choice.

There’s something spellbinding about Denzel’s acting. Whatever it is, I can’t get enough!! Thank you sir.

These two actors played off of each other’s energy- Hats off to the both of them - because this is pure acting 🎭 gold

He is one of the best actors in the world hands down. He always has amazing quotes.

Denzel is always a TEN, or a Five Star Rating if he's your Uber driver!

Beware of the person who threatens you without raising their voice. If you threaten someone and they don't get excited or show fear you may want to leave them alone.

The restaurant scene was so bad ass!!!!! The two of them deadliest men in that restaurant literally sizing each other up in the most non-violent way. 😂😂

The best part about the Equalizer is that he does not look threatening at all when you first look at him. He is not a character like John Wick who already looks like someone who means business, he just looks like a regular guy working at a hardware store from 9 to 5 wh olives alone. Fascinating movie one of the first movies I watched on Netflix and among the least regrettable 2 hours and 11 minutes of my life.

4:44 is probably one of my absolute favorite moments on film. Right up with Anthony Hopkins' stare in Silence of the Lambs. I think I've only seen three actors portray such coldness: Hopkins, Washington, and Spader as Raymond Reddington. Pure chills, every time.

Agreed on Denzel being the top tier actor of our generation - from Pelican Brief, to Man on Fire, The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3, American Gangster, Training day, The Book of Eli, all the Equalizer movies, John Q, Remember the Titans, and on and on and on and on. One of my most favorite actors in whatever he does.

My absolute favorite line for this movie: "He didn't come for help. He came for permission."

God, when he narrates the villains own story back to him..and asks him back - when you look at me, what do you see?..crazy good storytelling

I like how Denzel just laughs at his evil retort "what do you see when you look at me" lol he's CLEARLY not the first psycho with a sad backstory he's met and put down.

He's not threatening them. He's preparing them.

Denzel has always been a badass!

Denzel Washington is a BADASS in 99% of movies he does. So legit

The part of the monologue where Denzel says “I promised someone that i loved very much that i’d never go back to being that person. But for you i’d make an exception” for me is the most threatening part. It’s wonderfully scripted and delivered with a quiet casual menace that lets you know he means what the fuck he’s saying

If anyone's wondering why McCall kept turning on and off the lights instead of simply keeping them on, it's to simulate an effect and provide a level of delusion (which everyone probably knew), but more importantly if it was completely dark the eyes would focus and pupils enlargen to change aperture opening like a camera and see thru the darkness. He kept turning it off to remove some of the target's way to strategize getting to McCall if he can't see where he might be. He kept turning on the light to stop the eyes from entering night mode, and then shut it off again to confuse the target subtlely, and finally when he disappeared, the target couldn't see it because his eyes was once again adjusting for the first time preceding just having been exposed to light. Of course there was some symbolism too "Now you see me, now you don't."

The Denzel walk is legendary

Love Love Love every character that Denzel has ever played

I grew up watching the best. Every actor has his niche. A trademark that makes them great. Clark Gable, John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Pacino, Deniro, Potier, Gary Oldman, Freeman, Hopkins, Kingsley, and dozens more, actors that deliver dialogue in their own unique manner. Denzel is one of the top men in this category, undoubtedly, his manner of speaking, his walk, and the only man that can say, "my man", the way he does. Denzel, at 67, has already achieved greatness and for our pleasure and fortune, continues to share his talent with us.

"Creasy's art is death, ..and he is about to paint his masterpiece!"

One thing I wanted to point out, not in this scene but one from before: McCall has a hard time sleeping at night. So he sits up reading with the light on until he realizes it’s late and needs to turn it off. After he goes and kills the men who beat Alina, he slept like a baby. Just the simple story telling like that is amazing. I love both movies. Equalizer 2 definitely did have its moments, however, showing that Bob did try going back to a somewhat normal life, but still performing his vigilante justice when it was due was a sweet taste. The story telling was there. It still is and I can’t wait until the third installment.

"You're gonna give me what I need...or not." Such a powerful line. And delivery of it. So in line with the the internal integrity of the character. Like he told Nicolai...he's giving the cop a chance. To live. Or not.

By far the best scene in this movie, the almost imperceptible look of sudden doubt, fear and confusion at 4:47 was masterful! Bravo gentlemen!!

When he said "What do you see when you look at me?" to Nicolai, you could see the light in his eyes just vanish and Nicolai knew that he fuck up real hard.

Best line the whole movie "What do you see when you look at me"🔥🔥🔥🔥

Marton Csokas was the perfect foil for Denzel’s McCall character. The intensity of this scene and the tension between the actors is just incredible

Love Denzel and his New York accent. My man.

I wanna hear Denzel Washington say "if death is art, then youre about to become a masterpiece".

Nah. The most gangster moment for Washington was in "American Gangster" when his character went to ask for his 20%. That was some cold blooded shit man.

Doesn't need to be said, he's so revered and well loved for his work, but Denzel absolutely captivates me in every one of his roles. Masterfully plucks me out of my own head and surroundings and thrusts me into right there, right where his character is. Feeling what he feels. Gotta love an artist like that

"I promised someone I love very much that I'd never go back to being that person. But for you, Nicolai, I'm gonna make an exception." Cold man. Ice cold.

I went for lunch with Denzel, I'm vegan, we both had steaks. He was persuasive.

Denzel always has that super smooth and cool walk.

I absolutely LOVE this movie! If only the "real-world" worked this way!

At 3:13 the actor playing Nikolai physically pulls his ears back to show discomfort during the scene, it is very subtle and exceptional.

at 4:48 Nicolai's expression turns to fear within a second(though it's only visible for the blink of an eye). I feel Marton Csokas is an underrated actor. Both Denzel and him nailed the scene.

Denzel is a wonderful actor, watching him act is a pleasure, I am in awe.

“When u pray for rain you have to deal with the mud to” what a line

Seen that scene a million times - Denzel is one of the greatest actors of all time, I get chills every time I watch it

What do you see when you look at me ? That moment when he sent Nicolai question back to him was epic. One of my favorite movies ever. I can watch it everyday literally

Denzel is the GOAT on so many levels.

"But for you, I'm gonna make an exception."

That walk of "fame" at the end was the best walk ever!

All the Equalizer movies are great - it's a 9 out of 10. Many of the words in there, relevant to life - Denzel was just incredible

Denzel and the writers took McCall to a whole new level...what a great performance.

I grew up watching the original series and loved it! Denzel takes it to a whole notha sphere!!!👊🔥💣

Denzel Washington is an incredible actor, love anything he is in👏👏👏Superb 💕

He deserve more than 2 Oscar's

He has the smoothest walk lol

Man, Denzel is versatile. He first got my attention in mo better blues and has blown me away with nearly every role since. Truly one of the greats of our time. Impossible to argue different. More range than a sniper.

Only Denzel could've pulled off this stellar performance. He owns a particular style unique to himself.

A legend... A true artist of his craft

That dialog and delivery over the dinner table was excellent in every way. This is a movie you have to really listen and pay attention

DEnzel is like John Wayne. Plays the same dude in every movie. Even so, you love him.

I'm going to have to say Denzel is the greatest actor of all time he can play anybody anytime anywhere plays each character as a version of himself how he would do the things they do I haven't seen all of his movies but I don't think the man has ever been in a bad movie and I absolutely love the equalizer movie

He's the king of the jungle. Top of the food chain in Hollywood. His discipline and will are really unmatched.

"I've done some bad things in my life, things I'm not very proud of..! I promised someone I loved very much that, I'd never go back to being that person...but for you, I'm gonna make an exception" 💯 🔥🔥🔥😳 love the way denzel delivers those lines..👌🏽👏🏾🤩

Anytime or place when you have the option, you should always take the money. In the Equalizer, Riddick, you name it. Always take the money.

"Thank You" You're Welcome" "Of Course" I love the cordial polite mannerism!!

one of my favorite actors of all time and without a doubt one of the best human beings that anyone has the joy of knowing. blessings Denzel

Maybe he didn't threaten people. Perhaps he simply told them the way things would be if they continued to abuse, violate, damage, manipulate, ignore, mistreat, trample others.

Denzel is absolutely one of my all time fav action heros

3:57 Nikolai: "Thank you" McCall: "You're welcome" 😂😂😂😂

If he made 10 sequels.. I would buy everyone and put the dvd player on repeat on every movie 💯

Denzel is definitely my favorite male actor next to Angel Bassett as my favorite female actress! This guy is untouchable in my book.

Right off the bat McCall sets the stage. He tosses the glasses on the table, nonchalantly says "He ain't coming back" & at the same time seating himself at the table.

To be fair, Denzel Washington has the smoothest way of doing everything he does.

Denzel is literally like My way or you all die, no negotiating at all and he’s literally OP

McCall doesn't threaten, he just informs them of what will happen.

Denzel is A "Smooth Operator" Just slides into your livelyhood wipes you out and slides back out into the night. Like a ninja.

Denzel is one of our greatest actors today. I give this video a 10.

Denzel is amazing to watch! Love him!

Denzel is the greatest.

Every time I watch this scene, I get chills!! Denzell IS THE BOMB!! Oops , Props to the writers too!!

Denzel with the best lines Man on fire is my favorite “Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting. AWESOME

Actors such as the talented Denzel are what makes the magic of quality and entertaining movies!!

The underlying lesson that might get overlooked, is to be aware that you never know who you're dealing with. The way certain types of people act today where they berate and abuse people online, can have real world consequences or if that behavior spills out into real world interactions, the person youve decided to verbally abuse might react in a way you didn't expect, and heaven help you if they know what they're doing. So be courteous and offer a base level of respect to strangers until given a reason not to. Better to be cautious and nice than reckless, rude and beaten to death

whenever i see denzel on screen i crY dude is so disciplined its insane

the grin and the slump in nikolai grin and ears when he was asked what he sees in Robert was just... amazing lol.

One of the greatest actors of a generation.

This makes me want to re-watch the movie again for the 100th time

Imagine you wake up from a peaceful sleep and you see Denzel Washington sitting there staring at you, and he says "you're probably wondering who I am and what I'm doing here.".

Denzel is awesome to watch! Love him!

its the sound of the glasses hitting the inside of the glass of alcohol on the table. That gets me every time. 🤣🤣🤣

For me, one of the greatest actors ever.

He even said the Russian curse word with class. That's God dope mane.

Martin Csokas is the ultimate villain. Nothing tops this guy. None.

“ you think you know me” but you don’t know shit but his name & he know your childhood I would’ve cried😂😂😂

Denzel Washington has some of the best bottom lines in this movie and part 2 as well. My favourite bottom lines from him is when he gives you 2 choices between life and death but you only get to choose 1 which reminds me of Keanu Reeves from "John Wick."

A masterpiece !!! What a franchise !!!

you know he is a badass when his phone number comes with a Boston area code.

Yeah everybody is tough until pressure is applied.

Greatest movie in Denzel’s phenomenal career. Robert McCall is awesome. An avenging Angel for good. Brilliant is to tame for this masterpiece

He was so bloody good in this film, definite 10/10.

What I like about Denzel is that while he may be typecasted (For those unfamiliar, it means you've been basically stuck to play certain roles in cinema), he dominates the stage whenever he comes out, same with Morgan Freeman, many of the big celebs in Hollywood tend to have that niche they fit into but it's with good reason. Find me a movie where Denzel is an honest man playing fast and dirty with the moral lines and I'll guarantee you'll find an amazing film. He does these roles so god damn well, same way Morgan Freeman often plays the wise old man, a font of knowledge just trying to steer people towards 'the right course of action'.
