im really impressed with the level of precision he brings to his craft, like the acting skills of nailing that facial expression that's a perfect balance between the false pleasantry and the reality, his eyes are hard but his smile is still displaying the appearance in a way that itself is searing and both Bob and Teddy know it

its his ocd, when he knows he has to do this routines he says "excuse me", hes fully aware of his condition

I was thinkin the same thing. Teddy was on to him from the jump.

He wasn't trying to stay concealed at that point because he knew that serious people were involved. This is evident by the fact when he takes a step outside after asking for Teddy's card, and asks how did they find him. At that point both already knew what's what and the facade was gone.

he was closing distance. its harder to successfully draw a gun on someone the closer they are.

@@xw33b36 Also kinda cancels Teddy's intimidation factor....

@@xw33b36 I agree. But at the same time, a martial artist knows that at this close a range, it's nearly impossible to counter a physical attack. Why put yourself in danger like that ? Specially now that's you've confirmed he is not a real cop.

@@danielst-laurent3484 Perhaps that might be the case for traditional martial arts and street fighting to some extent, but large majority of armed forces of last decade in h2h training learn some form of grappling with intent to kill. Also the Russian dude was no real threat in h2h, he was for lack of mincing words - just an over confident thug that relied on goons to do his work. Not a fair comparison, IMO, to infer he was any real threat to McCall in h2h. McCall was a decorated US marine that went on to work in defense intelligence and blackops. We already saw feats of him dismantling people from low level thugs, all the way up to actual blackops operators in both films. not dismissing your post, that (what you stated) might of been the case if he was facing another McCall level threat. But this scene was more about not allowing him to draw a gun than anything else. Something that an unskilled person would need to rely on to actually be a threat.

@@xw33b36 I see. McCall must have been able to assess right then and there that the Russian wasn't no real threat in h2h. Fair enough. Thank you for your response.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣😂 They're actually just doing there job.

Maybe it's also as self defence, he is getting closer so the russian guy couldnt hit him or shoot him

He reversed UNO'd Teddy's initial dead girl photo flex. It was a measuring exercise to see if McCall would be shakened by what he saw. And when he wasn't, he attempted to press McCall again by stepping to him but McCall not only stepped closer, he blocked the staircase as to say "Now I decide when you leave!" Lol

There's also a great subtle change in Denzel's body language between Teddy reaching into his pocket and him realising he's just pulling out a photo at 1:30 Also, is your name pronounced 'Corn'?

Of course he was about to throw this fool down the stairs.

I ADORE The Equalizer movies! Denzel is absolutely the best! I was so impressed when I read he does his own stunts! He has power and speed! Everything he's in, I've seen and bought most of them. I agree with the person who commented he could watch this over and over! I've watched it at least ten times! When he sets that watch, it's over for the bad guys!!

I love how Denzel steps out the door as to say we can rumble right now.

yep! My instructor always taught me to do that when you are about to throw down. It's crazy how many people don't expect that.

I love how Teddy gets in his face expecting him to be intimidated and Robert McCall is just like "what, you want to kiss me? Let's go." 🤣

@@TheThetechnician 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

He lost when he said "oh you were?" Denzel tossed him bait and he jumped on it.....he should have told him of course that's why I'm here

Yeah true, I'm surprised Denzel didn't comment about the girl "she fell down and broke her neck" Really? while sitting upright in a chair? but of course he didn't want to be directly confrontational.

True. Very little difficult acting going on between these two. These guys are Alphas in real life. It's not a stretch for them to be these characters.

You summed that up eloquently and precisely my friend !

FINALLY someone who GETS This scene 👏!! Everyone is over embellishing The Robert Mccall character because they LIKE Denzel Washington as an actor. In reality Marton was the one who really carried this otherwise par for the course" Good guy plays avenging angel for the weak" formula. Washington is just playing a different various himself. The Teddy character however is truly riveting and thats because of Martons ability to capture the character totally. Teddy wasn't scared. Words, sudden movements, defiance etc....don't alarm a hardcore psychopath/ sociopath. He is a cold and ruthlessly effective killer who has seen war, committed and witnessed gross brutality because he thrived in that environment. He was merely assessing mccall as a true professional would and should do and he came to realize from Mccalls posture and bearing, that he underestimated his adversary. Now that he had confirmation to his questions, he calmly assessed the situation and left knowing how to further proceed as did Mccall. A man of that ilk like The Teddy character doesn't feel fear or gets rattled after dealing in death virtually from a child right up to Adulthood.

@@fitzgeraldanthony9333 Very well summed. I don't know why there are comments ranging from he was scared shitless to he left with his tail tucked. Nothing about Teddys demeanor struck as fearful. The look on his face at the moment Robert stepped to him told me "Ah. There you are... the REAL enemy." To most oblivious thugs, McCall is mild mannered and doesn't present the clear danger that he is. But to someone like Teddy, McCall is as dangerous as it gets. Neither wanted an all out assault at that moment. They both pretty much left the interaction moving with precision since it was game of information at that point. Information being, "Just WHO am I dealing with here?"

@@PDro11 PRECISELY 👍

I agree so much w this thread

Vice versa

That’s really nice of you, this is my private page here on KZfaq that I use in comment back my fans on here, so as to appreciate them for their love and support all these years. So what’s your name and where are you currently chatting from? And for how long have you been supporting me as a fan?

I came here for this part😂😂

That’s how I will always be ,right in my enemy’s face.Your move!

That’s why at the end the guy says, “Everything about him is wrong.” He wanted to smell fear, should have smelled it, but ended up being afraid himself.

No Teddy did not feel one iota of fear from the Bob character. A man like the Teddy character doesn't feel fear. Words, sudden movements, defiance etc.... don't unsettle a psychopath. He comes from the same world that Mccall comes from and he's even more cold to death and doing grievous harm because he STAYED in that world that Mccall left behind. He's seen and performed horrible and brutal acts of violence on the battle field as we as being an enforcer for the Russian mafia which is an organization to not be trifled with in real time. Teddy never flinched or showed weakness. He did what a professional from his environment is supposed to do. He was assessing Washington, trying to get a read on him. Once Washington stepped up to him he began to realize that this is someone who traveled in similar dark place as himself. He coldly reassessed his previous judgements and quietly took it from there. The only thing that he pondered was what was the Mccall characters background. And here's where we have a major hole in the story. The Russian mafia with it's connections particularly in this movie could have surely gotten the Information that Teddy needed and then provided him with elite killers/ resources to make sure the job was done correctly. If anything the Teddy character was watered down because the actor who played him in my view upstaged Washington in several scenes. Denzel played the usual good guy part that fits his personality in a movie that played on the avenging angel theme. Nothing new here and frankly nothing new from Denzels performance. Marton however made this very interesting thanks to his talent of really capturing a character especially of this variety. The ending to this was extremely corny and ruined what could have been a much better final. Teddy was a VERY formidable adversary and was definitely battle tested. He goes out with a whimper and a truly predictable and cop out line when he asks Washington, Who are you? Mccall somehow gets the better of this very formidable foe as well as4 other highly trained operatives who are younger and in better condition. The ending did zero justice to this movie and a very capable adversary in Teddy.

@@fitzgeraldanthony9333 No one beats the Equalizer bro. He and Bryan Mills can't be fk'd with.

Lol

How did you find me?

Who’s we? This is my favorite (almost) scene in the movie.

This movie is set in Boston, but no matter...Boston and NYPD both have plenty of Russian speaking officers, so no need to disguise the accent.

Wow, very good eye. I’ve watched this movie multiple times and didn’t pick up on that detail. That’s brilliant.

I wasn't a fan of the show at all, just didn't sit well with me for no good reason. I only watched the movie because of Denzel and holy shit was i unprepared for the badassness DW brought to the character in a film of this quality and detail - i knew he was super talented, but this was a side i hadn't seen. I am actually glad that Equalizer 2 was his first sequel, i would like to think that shows how he felt about the character and the movies too.

I was a fan of the series and don't feel they did it justice. Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie but they barely kept anything aside from the characters name...especially missed that iconic theme music. Would've rather they call Denzel's character something different so someone could do a proper Equalizer sequel or remake one day...then they spit out that Queen Latifah nonsense and pretty much ruined the franchise for all time... :-(

@@chaburchak fair comment, especially the music, even McCaul's black Jag would have been nice. I guess I liked it because I expected them to make Denzel's character softer if you know what I mean, not with the killer instinct the character originally had but they didn't McCaul was as cold and tough as always. I agree a few more nods to the series would have been nice. One point if you were remaking the series what actor would you have play the lead?

It was a hardcover, naturally. The only kind he reads..

He knew.

@@hiranom20 Nah, he actually thought he would be able to defeat him. There's nothing wrong with being wrong every now and then, but that mistake was his last...

@@TalkingHands308 Doesn't change the fact that he knew. He went up there probably to kill him, but sussed that it wouldn't have been the best bet at that time. Robert's apathy and proactiveness threw him off: like looking in a mirror. I agree that he didn't care, though: "You're like a piece of lint, like an object to remove..." His psychopathy and line of work meant that he wouldn't be deterred Robert was also a killer. He kills killers for a living.

I never understood what he meant by saying that

one helluva compliment, in this case

@@jlc7300 He meant that , "This is absolutely not a regular guy who lives in an apartment, eats cheese sandwiches at the diner, and goes to work at HomeMart. " If you've done any type of specialist work, you get a sense for "what" people are dangerous . And I'm sure Teddy's senses lit up all over *Danger Danger Danger*

@@jlc7300 Listen to the dialog, and how it is delivered. He is anticipating what he is going to ask, and giving him a response that will do, but just seems too convenient. Also how he never really called him a cop more treated him as a cop,, but also spoke as if he were questing that fact. His entire demeanor was contradictory to what the interaction was .
