OK WOW! That was...... gruesome, but you really can't help but love Denzel can you?. I liked the vigilante story and his secret tenderness. Even though I want more backstory always, I kind of also liked they kept it mysterious.  Hope you guys enjoy!

[Full Reaction] The Equalizer

Comments

Just Plain Bob

Backstory is the death of audience imagination.

ROBERT CLARK

Really looking forward to this reaction. It's one of my favourite movies. I believe the makers intend this to be a trilogy. I also enjoyed the second film.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

Wait till you see Training Day, Denzel is a whole different thing in that, but always an awesome performance!

Celeste McAllister

It's gruesomly tender, Always ready for a cool movie and Denzel! ♡ 'The Bone Collector' with Angelina Jolie is a heart stopper!⭐⭐⭐

David Freese

I think they talk more about his past and life in Equalizer 2. So maybe a sequel watch in our future.

David Freese

Plus it's the only sequel Denzel ever did.

ROBERT CLARK

I was very surprised to hear Denzel agreed to doing more of these films. He's known to turn down sequels.

Robert da Spruce

I guess I know what I’ll be watching this weekend! 😀 Looking forward to seeing your reaction Cassie!

Wyatt Nuxoll

Pedro pascal is in the sequel and dare I say the sequel is in my opinion better than the first ........ so good can't wait for equalizer 3

Wesley White

Nice!!! Glad to hear you enjoyed it despite the gruesomeness lol! Believe it or not, I've never seen this movie nor the sequel! But you know what, you've convinced me, so I think I'll give it a watch tonight after I get home from work and I'll leave my own commentary on this lol! Yeah, wait till you see Denzel's performance in Training Day, it's good! I admit, sometimes I like a little backstory on the protagonist as well, but at the same time I like a little mystery and use my imagination sometimes lol! Once again, I enjoyed the vlog video yesterday, left you a nice comment on YT lol! You were so sweet to me during that live premiere, thank you for being so kind to me, your words made me blush lol!🥰 Hope you have a great day today Cassie, love and support to you and Carly as always! Y'all are the best, and as always [snaps fingers & winks] stay classy Cassie🥰😁😉👍🌹

Robin Craft

Another incentive for Cassie watching the sequel is that Pedro Pascal is in it.

Woody G

John Q is probably the next denzel you should watch

Robin Craft

This is a trilogy... Equalizer 3 set to release in September and Denzel reunites with his "Man on Fire" co star Dakota Fanning.

David Freese

Very true I forgot about that. He's the baddie right? My memory is shot about 2 a little. Havent watched it in like a year.

Odd Thomas

Man on Fire is better

David Freese

I respect your opinion because Man on Fire is good but I still think Equalizer is better. It's definitely the best version of the character 🙂

Michael Lynch

I find it fascinating that no matter what movie is picked there is always somebody that thinks it sucks.

Martin Nicholls

Soon to be fake news: he's in the sequel to Gladiator, with, funnily enough, Pedro Pascal. I kinda wish they weren't making that movie - but some of the names attached give it quite a lot of legitimacy.

David Freese

It's because everyone has different tastes which it's ok. Not everyone will like the same movies. Makes the world go round

William Bryan

You like vigilante justice? Watch The Punisher(2004)

David Freese

I knew of the Gladiator sequel but didn't know he was in it. Thanks for the knowledge. Haven't been keeping up myself 😁

Larry Darrell

ICYDK… The Equalizer is a remake of an 80s TV Show, that ran for 4 seasons, from 1985 - 1989.

Mike LL

UNSTOPPABLE (2010) is a great movie with Denzel and Chris Pine, and the only justified use of shaky cam that I can think of.

Jyn Jilly

I think you'll like these films more than the John Wick films. These films are more about people first and violence second. Although I still love both John Wick and Robert McCall

Mike Lemon

"Not everyone will like the same movies." Well, except Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995). Cassie should watch it to see what everyone is raving about.

Scott Souza

next should be Nobody, which is in the same spirit as John Wick And this movie. Derek Kolstad directed John Wick and wrote Nobody their kinda similar

Scott Souza

Oh i forgot to say I really enjoy the reactions

Steve Colletti

With Wick, it's personal, with McCall it's to help others.. different motivations, but both are good.

Rick Williams

Great Reaction. You are so fun Cassie. This is a movie that is intriguing. It draws you in.

Celeste McAllister

'The Old Man and the Sea' by Ernest Hemingway..it's a great philosophical novel I read it in college,watched the movie starring the old man himself Spencer Tracy,on the subject of fishes I like the Subway tuna sandwich.🐟❤😃Now let's move on to the Mountain Men & JJ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)

Yeah, Equalizer 2 is a little better. I agree. I think Cassie you will like it better. I loved your reaction to this. It was just gold 🪙 pure gold.

Celeste McAllister

I'd like to everyone to watch 'The Sound of Freedom' 2023..have tissues on hand boys you are going to need them..

Zane From Canada

That trick he did with boiling the honey and putting it on his wound actually can work. It cotterizes and seals it to stop the bleeding and after it hardens, can be peeled off like a band-aid. For centuries, sugar was used to treat battlefield wounds they very same way.

MatthewBrown74m

The equalizer possibility my 2ed favorite Denzel Washington movie 1st is remember the titans 3rd is melcolm X

Björn Karlsson

...........and I'd like everyone to watch "Show me love/Fcuking Åmål". The best and most accurate coming-of-age/teenage movie that has ever been made imo. A bunch of tissues can be usefull 🫠🫠

zynjams

loved this movie on to part two oh and RED is similar but funnier

MattN

such an amazing underrated film. Any Tony Scott\Denzel film I am in... but that is a perfect monster movie that is nonstop action from almost the beginning all of the way through

MattN

yeah! They've actually studied this and it has both anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.

Celeste McAllister

"Skin that one pilgrim and I'll bring ya nother!"..don't call me pilgrim the Rocky Mountain's are my home,anyone whom lives east of Breckenridge is a Pilgrim,jk lol.

'Pappy' Johnston

Awesome, enjoyable and entertaining reaction, as usual. Cassie NEVER disappoints. This movie is gruesome, yes. But at least it is so with a purpose, NOT just for shock value. Unfortunately, there are bad people out there in the world that do bad things and the ONLY way to stop them is to speak to them in the language they speak and understand in order to bring back the good, kind and safe for the innocent. This movie just, at least in my humble opinion, tells that story. Thank you Cassie for sticking it out and I'm glad you were able to get some enjoyment out of it. :-)

JC762

“Equalize him!” - instant Cassie classic. 😂

djKENTO

I really hope we get a reaction to the sequel… the addition of Pedro Pascal really elevates it. And the finale is sooooo well made.

Eric

Denzel is one of my favorite actors.

Robert da Spruce

Nice reaction Cassie! The movie is actually based on a TV show of the same name. The main character in the show would help people that had nowhere else to turn. They even did a reboot of the show in 2021 which starred Queen Latifah as the Equalizer. You should definitely check out part 2. It costars your boy, Pedro Pascal.

Wesley White

HOLY MACKREL!!! I totally regret not seeing this movie in the theater, this was awesome! I knew Denzel is capable of being an action star, he's got the style besides doing more dramatic roles! Speaking of dramatic roles, you should see one of his biggest tear jerkers, John Q. it will make you cry and you will love it, I know it! This in my opinion not only had some John Wick, but even a little bit of Taken and a pinch of Rambo! Taken because of the fact that he's possibly a former government agent of sorts that has all these particular set of skills that he was trained to do, and how he dispatches the bad guys, and then a pinch of Rambo because of all the improvised weapons and traps he rigs in The Home Depot! True we don't get much of a backstory, but in this case, I don't think it needed one, which is okay (ususally) lol! I can make an exception, I can just let my imagination run wild lol! This was a great movie, can't wait to watch the sequel and I hope to see a reaction of you watching the sequel! I was pretty shocked to see Bill Pullman in this as much as you, but I was even more shocked to see Marton Csokas who plays the hitman who goes after Denzel throughout the movie, he was in The Lord of the Rings! He played Lord Celeborn, Lady Galadriel's husband, hope that didn't dishearten you lol! Great reaction, glad I watched it, this too being my first time watching it, thank you Cassie lol! See you for the next YT edit premiere, have a great weekend, love and support, you (and Carly) are the absolute best, and as always [snaps fingers & winks] stay classy Cassie🥰😁😉👍🌹

Lu

Great reaction. Absolutely loved this movie. Denzel never seems to make bad movies. Man on Fire(2004) is still my favourite Denzel movie. Hope that you'll someday react to it if you've never watched it.

Avastrasza

The Wick movies are great, but different. Both have great action, but I really love McCall as a character. A guy who always tries to do good, even in the most mundane things. It's inspiring, really. At least, I think so. I always wanna be a better person after watching these movies. xD

Avastrasza

I saw both movies in the theatre when they released. Before hand, I didn't really know what to expect, but loved this movie! yes, it's gruesome and that scene where Teddy kills that girl is still a gut punch. But I love Robert McCall as a character. He's so nice, even in the most basic stuff he always tries to do the right thing. This is extra highlighted in the sequel, which I think is a better movie. Though a little more gruesome too I think. So be warned! But I really hope you'll consider watching it. You won't be disappointed at all! Another movie from Denzel that is REALLY good is Deja Vu. I won't spoil anything, but it's really exciting. The Bone collector is also very recommendable with Angelina Jolie. It's more of a thriller. Loved your reaction. It's funny. I watched this movie last week a few days before I saw you were going to react to it. 😅 So I watched it again today and it was just so fun to see your reaction to it. Thank you!

AdrianF

I saw this when it came out and some time later had family visiting; they have a daughter, who was 11 or 12 at the time. I'd kind of forgotten some of the more gruesome bits and told them, 'it'll be fine'. They haven't spoken to me properly since.

AdrianF

Yeah, I prefer the second just about - and Deja Vu is great as well, as is TBC.

Chris

"equalize him" 😅

Stick Figure Studios

Oh, Denzel has had his share of bad movies as have all actors (HEART CONDITION, JOHN Q, THE LITTLE THINGS, VIRTUOSITY, BONE COLLECTOR, FALLEN, PREACHER'S WIFE), but he's always good. One of our greatest living actors.

David Collins

You'll be wanting to see Denzel in Book of Eli. It is NOT what the title suggests.

Zane From Canada

Exactly right. It's something to do with osmotic pressure. In Lemans terms a natural remedy, quick and dirty stopgap solution. 😁

Roger Wayne Alms

Which do you hate more Cassie, blood or tuna?

Bert Towle

Your Denzel experience needs another perspective now. Give "Inside Man" a try. He has a different job.

Ryan Towell

Backstory is hit on in Equalizer 2 which I thought was even better.

Gilbert Gonzalez

Yeah it’s pretty cool! Honey has an enzyme that breaks down glucose and interacts with the body’s water content in wounds and it naturally produces hydrogen peroxide, giving it that antiseptic property

Charles Briggs

Please see it 🙏 Training Day and Malcom X is his two greatest performances as and actor

Rainbow Dash

I used to watch the show The Equalizer that this movie is based on. That ending is like his newspaper ad from the show. Offering his services, using his talents from his past.

John Courtright

Hey Cassie, I watched The Equalizer for the first time with you! Give me a pillow and pass the popcorn. 😉

Jzadro0

Why’s it blurred

JarHead0351

Good movie and like you stated, just like John Wick, but Bourne Identity, still is top dog. All three movies are good movies,
