“He didn’t come for help. He came for permission.” I love that line so much.

The shot where the Russian pimp is bleeding out and McCall is a slightly blurry “you should have taken the money” most simple yet haunting shot I’ve ever seen in an action film.

Now, Equalizer 2.

I wish this reaction featured the dinner table scene with McCall and Nicolai. One of the best scenes of this movie.

4:57 "Breaking protocol? So they, like, established some rules beforehand?" I don't think so. I think it's just that they've both been going to the diner regularly for long enough that they've established a sort of routine, and she's never approached his table before. And she, too, has noticed (like you did) that Robert is particular about his routines.

Somebody tell Jabby that they do make earbuds and headphones that don't block out all noise. He was so triggered she could hear with the earbuds in

Denzel is, as always, charismatic and interesting

Denzel said people used to go to the movies for escapism but now every one on the internet is expecting the movies to be filled with realism.

I feel like an John Wick fans coming to this movie with a preconceived notion to not like it, or to find things to complain about when in reality, these movies are much better than John Wick

4:56 they had unwritten protocols of interaction, and she was changing the established routine.

This movie shows there is always light at the end of the dark tunnel.. you just need someone to lead the way.. Denzel and Chloe nailed it.. it was not only about action. it's more about the heart in the movie

You cut the best part out. The scene at the end where he looks at the helpless villian and the villian keeps screaming "WHO ARE YOU?". And he is just standing there in the "rain" pokerface. That gives me goosebumps every time. Also their meeting at the bar when they confront each other and Denzel tries to compromise with him. That scene is so good too. You cut both out😭😭

3:05. Dude. Just cause she's got ear buds on doesn't mean she's actively listening to music. She's got them on so people will leave her alone. After this, every comment this guy makes slams the decisions made for the film.

Some details that people may not know...He shaves his head and face as to not leave any DNA,He constantly cleans as to not leave any fingerprints or DNA and people like him are very precise and detailed oriented,he has a second apartment,presumably under a differnt name so that if any bad people from his past come after him,he would have time to leave.

Just watched Equalizer 3... it was epic and way more brutal than the previous movies!

Robert asked Melina "What happened to your face"? Melina replied"something stupid". Ralph asked Robert "What happened to your hand"? Robert replied "I hit it on something stupid ". I love how that came full ⭕.

Man on Fire is a must to watch.. Dakota Fanning appears in it and will be in EQ3 as well

As someone else pointed out "Denzel said people used to go to the movies for escapism but now every one on the internet is expecting the movies to be filled with realism." Objectivity is good, especially for reactors, it is part of the experience of us watching you react. But when you do it for a job it seems sometimes you get so caught up in making sure you are doing it, that you are not looking at flaws and strengths because they are apparent but because you force yourselves to over analyze and can come off as quite inaccurate at times even if you end up being correct in the long run. I don't mean guessing plot twists because you recognize the formula from seeing it so many times, I mean; 15:55 We don't know at this point why he is taking photos. Not only is it very possible that he was doing it to lure them out of the car, that is exactly what it looks like happened as after he snaps the photos they express confusion and get out of the car and chase them. Your take gets even worse in the next scene as it is the security cameras that catch a whole lot of very clear video of these guys too. Ultimately, you ended up being right in this particular case but trying to jump the gun and rationalize the scene which lead to ignoring key details didn't look too great for quite some time there. Even if there was reflection and issues with the photo, I have seen wonderous things done in photoshop, let alone government agency exclusive programs for clearing up images for law enforcement and intelligence agencies which he very well could have access to as well but I will admit this is a stretch and they obviously used a cropped photo of the scene instead of using the better justified security cam footage for the movie but felt it important to note that such technologies exist also. 20:49 He CAN reach out and open. Then what? He is hand cuffed to the steering wheel and Denzel is right there, even if Denzels character didn't have a weapon, which he does, he could easily physically stop and restrain him even more. This assumes the cop knew Denzels character wouldn't just kill him for making things more difficult or hurt him worse than he did, which he doesn't, so why would he risk it instead of waiting for a better opportunity where he 'actually' had a chance? 24:48 At which point in the movie did we establish he had a vehicle? Taking something like a Taxi would put someone innocent in this very dangerous situation where as a public bus just goes to its stops no matter what, less interactive too than a Taxi. Nothing indicates he would steal a car either, which would also bring potential unnecessary problems(police attention, owner of the car getting involved, both cases they would get hurt) this isn't very tactical which the movie strongly establishes Denzels character is and in the very next scene, once again, proves this point and counters your "critique". 25:36 Him taking the bus was to fool the audience? How about as I pointed out for 24:49 it was his best and or only option for transportation which he would have the least outside involvement interfering and most control over for that environment, once more he also doesn't have a vehicle that we have ever seen which gets backed up later in the movie too. You think it was to fool the audience instead of a tactical move to fool the armed bad guys clearly luring him in a trap? 27:35 Home Depot does sell barbed wire, especially in big farming and ranch states. Many Home Depot competitor stores like Lowes do too. You can order it online now also. 29:28 Standard military practice is that when on patrol or in an unknown environment conducting sweeps, every few steps you look behind you. Perhaps it is exclusive to the Marines, but I was taught this in boot camp even before I started deployment training incorporating actual patrols and clearing buildings. The silly part is that the guy was by himself and out of communication(in this case the best would be line of sight for hand signals) so that what happened couldn't have happened. 34:06 See, even you were able to catch yourselves doing it 34:37. The points made I think, sorry for the book, perhaps do the same exact thing you are now but try to do it to justify why someone would be doing something in that situation instead of why it would be ridiculous, unless of course the ridiculousness is part of the movie then obviously point it out. Thanks for the reaction, hope you do 2 and the new 3. It is kind of John Wick meets Taken with some sprinkles of its own thing. Take care you guys.

Too critical Jaby😂☺️But it was an awesome reaction🙏Achara ♥️😍as usual so on point even though I do understand Jaby's points ..but it is one super enjoyable movie done so well💕Looking forward to your reactions on Equalizer 2..Denzel Washington Sir 🙏💜 what an amazingly fine actor always ♥️🌹

YES!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Based on the 1985-1989 TV series of the same name. A former CIA operative turns vigilante to help those in need of his assistance.

So, a fun fact about Denzel. He is from the same New York city that Im from Mount Vernon, New York, and every day, he makes us proud that he represents Mount Vernon,New York, to the fullest. He never denies where he's from. You always showcases that he grew up here. And carries himself with such class. He's just one of many celebrities that are from my town. That made it but he is probably the one that actually acknowledges where he's from. We are very proud of him as a city.

What’s cool about the nail gun scene is where he shoots him at. It just totally cripples Teddy’s limbs and immobilizes any attempt to shoot back. So cool. Good discussion

Did y’all really omit the dinner scene?? “Tell me what you see when you look at me” lol dude saws stone cold killer. That was the 2nd best scene of the movie. After the first meet at McCall apartment.

God bless her for being able to watch a movie with this man 😭 he picks at everything and stays complaining.

Watched Equalizer 3 last night at a drive in theater and it was so good

2:15 Helping Ralphie lose weight IS being body-positive, lying to somebody and encouraging them to be obese isn't helping anybody but lining the pockets of pharmaceutical company owners.

This film is a great depiction of “show don’t tell” It seems a lot of modern day audiences have become very accustomed to being spoon fed exposition and go into a movie expecting it to be a certain way because hollywood has indoctrinated you into a certain format of how a film or a film like this should be. This film shows a lot in every shot without telling you anything but showing you everything. One of the main things you picked up on is the change from the dark to the light. The creative reasoning behind this is that Robert is retired and supposed to be pronounced dead, thats why he lives in the shadows. Until he “asks for permission” if you watch the scene carefully where he goes to visit his friends and he is talking to the woman at her house, behind him is a out of focus picture of her with George W Bush, insinuating she is high up in some form of government agency. After she says to her husband that he didn’t come for help, he came for permission. He is then allowed to come out of the shadows and into the light. It is a very clever visual choice as with other aspects of the film. Which I will not go into deeper analysis with. Its a shame they dont make films like this anymore, they used to. But unfortunately modern audiences have become dumber, not reading into the visual story telling more than what is being told to them through dialogue or just mind-numbing action. Also, why would Nikoli run after a bleeding fatman when he knows he still has the threat of Robert around any corner…🤷🏻‍♂️ come on. Marvel/disney has ridden people of their common sense 🤦🏻‍♂️ watch things with an open mind and stop going into potentially great films with a programmed bias.

my favourite movie.........this movie made me DENZEL fan forever...!

So why'd you do it? John Wick - Because a dog Robert - Because someone messed up my routine

Please do Denzel Washington's sci-fi/action thriller 'Deja Vu' (2006). Ta. 🧡

This is why I like jabys channel... him and his friends actually watch the movies and shows and pay attention and listen instead of talking the whole time making the videos annoying... keep up the great reactions jaby

Equalizer 2. It's worth watching it. It's an amazing sequel

"Welcome to Home Mart. How may I kill you?" LOL

Achara has mastered the art of talking through and over all emotional, tense and gruesome scenes.

Denzel Washington did an outstanding job with the character

Danzel is so perfect in it 🔥 the dinner table conversation is so good 🤩

If she's holding a hammer you better run😂

After his reunion with his old co-worker (he came for permission line), Robert was able to be himself…called to be - a vigilante which he loves by “watching them die”. In the beginning, you see his promise of not killing anymore by always checking time, staying up at night not being able to sleep - his OCD etc. You see him slowly become who he loves to be… especially at the end as he smiles when answering random requests online.

"When you tell me to give up refined sugar I just want to punch you in the face." "And look at you now." Goals.❤

I love this movie. I simply watch a movie to be entertained, not to analyze. 90% of ANY movie wouldn't work/happen. I like it, or not. I happen to love Denzel's characters, overall. That's probably how/why he chooses the roles, maybe they contain a piece of him... THIS character really stands out to me because he gives his prey a chance change/repent. It's in the script that they don't, hence the action, but ...

In general, breaking protocol to a civilian is simply over stepping. I liked the reaction 👍.

One of my fav action movie series. Super glad Denzel agreed to come back. He's my fav actor. chloe moretz being in this movie for a short while really sold the fact that she was someone he wanted to save lol.

That IS Chloe Grace Moretz

Spitting his light-to-windshield camera flash awareness. If he was a superhero his name would be ACTUALLY,

With three letter agencies, retirement is your new cover.

Good reaction. Now I really want to watch this movie 😁

I like how Jaby asked if that was Chloe Grace-Moretz a few minutes after Achara asked that very same question and he said "I don't know". Jaby, buddy, does Alzheimer's run in your family? Not even being facetious and if that was a "joke" that went over my head just ignore this, but if not keep that in your mind the next time you see your doc.

Denzel:”When you pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too.”

One of my favorite movies of all time. Can’t wait for the new one.

7:03 That look means "This is the last face you’ve ever going to see".

Loved achara's review of it and thoughts of how he took out the bad guy Nikolai before the main villian

I think cinematically they made a conscious decision to transition from the beginning of the movie being dark to the end being light

Not very much a random quote to give the film more meaning as the second part of it, "and the day you find out why", is saying the day you find out what your true calling and purpose in this world is -- by the end of the movie despite Robert knowing WHO he is he finally knows what his purpose in the world is despite his shady past, helping the helpless.

The Equalizer 3 was so 🔥🔥🔥

Another great (haunting?) Antoine Fuqua film is "Tears of the Sun" One of my favorites, a blend of pseudo documentary (ethnic genocide in africa) and action.

That gun switch is always cool as F**K 🥶

Antione Fuqua is an amazing director who can shift tones in one screen or in an entire film!

Body positivity LMFAO 😅😅😅 It's a guy helping another guy get his dream job. THAT'S POSITIVITY 😊

They have barbed wire at home depot and lowes lawn and garden section. You wont notice because it's rolled up 🗞️ ans the labels covers it

Also another fun fact about the movie. I'm sorry, guys that I'm dropping so many fun facts. But Chloe, she put on about 15 pounds of muscle for this role just to look More mature if the word is right cause. By believe when she did this movie. She was still in her early teens or late teens I believe. Because she just turned 27 not too long ago. But yeah, she talked about in how much muscle she put on for the role.

I dont think ive every heard Achara scream like that 😂

Home alone: lost in the home depo. 😂

They sent him up as smart not tough l liked how he saw how Denzel took care of them in pub

Jaby can you ever just watch a thing and say “I enjoyed that”? Do you have to whine and complain about how everything you watch didn’t quite live up to your expectations cause you were hoping they were gonna do something in your imagination? Or you wish it was longer or shorter. Or you wish they had used a different filming or editing technique? Or whatever. Over time I’ve watched as your unnecessary criticisms partially ruins the experience for Achara who is usually delightful and excited about what she’s seen. Whether its a movie or a Marvel show or video game play through. Come on my man.

Regarding the flash- yes, it’s true what you said, but for a general audience who aren’t v vloggers or photographers, it’s a nice device to show he’s taking THEIR picture.

Absolutely one of my favorite action films!

you sold that excellent

the og equalizer tv show was also great (Edward Woodward as Robert McCall)

The shooting of a camera from under the floor also happened in Falcon and the winter Soldier episode 4.

I think Jaby does a disservice to the movie, when you go in expecting/comparing it to other movies of the genre or by same director. Why don't you try watching a movie and stop looking for things to criticize. Most movies have elements to them that have been seen before or copied. I feel like he tries too hard to be so knowledgeable. He is like the person who doesn't listen when someone is speaking because he is thinking about what he is going to say to one up them.

damn, they let out the entire restaurante scene where denzel tells his story. one of the best scenes in the film.😫

I still enjoying both of these movies ❤

Denzel was made for this role!!

I just watched The Equalizer Chapter 3.

Denzel Washington отличный Актёр!!!, мне нравятся фильмы с его участием!!!

Both of you should see Man on fire with Dakota Fanning in it. Cos equalizer 3 has them reunited years later. Quite good movie

Old Man and the Sea is a great book, and, it's a pretty quick read. Spencer Tracy movie is pretty good, too, if you're not a reader.

Tom cruise is in his 60s when he done the new mission impossible film jaby it is nice of you don't see him as an old guy

It is

You gonna enjoy the sequel have a good feeling

Jaby fixates on the weirdest stuff..just enjoy the movie.

the equalizer 2 and 3 is on 🔥

the music that plays during the mall fight is Vengeance, by Zack Hemsey. you should check out his solo work... I mean, it's much more worth to listen to than the crap on the radio.

It brings reaslim to that scene when there was sun in his eyes l thought it cool like in real life if the sun is in your eyes l you block the sun out of of view with your hand well that is what l would do

My favorite part is @ 11:44-11:46 when perfectly and causally threw the wine corks behind him to hit his stop watch. So smooth and funny simultaneously. Love it so much had to watch Patreon and YT versions. way to go

that was dan bilzerien who's mustache you made fun of lol

I just cannot with the half of you not reacting. The man is a IMDB robot without feelings, the woman is reacting like a human.

You left out some of the best scenes in the movie, kinda a weird choice The dinner table scene between Robert and Nikolai, Nikolai and the girl etc.

48:03 age shouldn't really matter because there are masterpiece old movies But we must remember this is a 2014 movie while nobody is a 2021 movie. I'm sure they looked at Equalizer during writing and took good things and fixed bad things. So maybe expecting better than Nobody given that Nobody is such a good film is a bit much since it had 7 years to look at the former and get the formula right.

This movie has an amazing OST.

It's funny that the music he plays at the end is Gladys Knight and the Pips. Remember when the guys asked what he did before, he said he was a Pip.

Kinda feel as you being negative about the main villain they were not equal at all not even in intelligence when they sat at the dinner table Robert specifically told the Russian his whole backstory with the child, it was him telling him he knew everything about him and the Russian knew NOTHING about Denzel so in chess they were not equal bro that’s why he killed him off so quickly at the end with the nail gun

What did Jaby mean by 'strobe fake slow motion'? I'm guessing it's some post processing trick?

This movie is loosely based on a TV show from the 80's, where every week, the main character would help out different strangers in need. When I say "loosely", I mean in the way the Mission Impossible movies are also based on a TV show.

Amazing film. Hope 3 is good

Its calles "dont look back explosion guy" by lonely island

First time watching this ? Whaaaaaaa!!!! How ?

I liked all the film it did need to happen in all the movie cause that is who he is

If the bad guy thinks their could be more then one person running is not good. As you run after one person the other will take you out, so walk normal and keep scanning for traps or anything else.

I think it makes sense in the beginning he was kinda OCD probably to maintain control over the most inside he focused on that to avoid killing people
