Is anyone else getting Grosse Pointe Blank when they click the "you don't need your own copy link"?

Mastervodo

Denzel has never looked more like Dan Akroyd.

While probably the weakest of the trilogy, I still like this one a lot. It still maintains McCall as the most intelligent and methodical lone wolf character out there. And it still has him as the avenging angel for those who couldn’t defend themselves. I just think the climax is a bit weak compared to the other two films and the showdown in a storm just seems gimmicky when I’m not sure it was necessary. The rest of the movie works though.

jmundt33a

The opening two vignettes are awesome. The main story, not so much.

Travis

George it doesn’t seem as though you uploaded this movie to your site. It’s still linking to Grosse pointe blank as it’s your most recent upload.

jmundt33a

I think the third is the weakest because he physically couldn’t participate in the stunts anymore. So they had to shoot around it. This one was very Taken and the best parts of the third were like Bourne or The American with George Clooney.

jmundt33a

I’m gonna recommend The American for the next action poll.

Cinebinge

Fixed. Sorry bout that. Refresh either site and it will be there now.

I can see your point. But I think I like the third because it feels like it closes the series well and has a nice closing the loop in terms of him finding some kind of peace finally.

jmundt33a

Yes. It just makes me sad they couldn’t shoot the rollicking conclusion in their heads .

mojo shivers

I suppose you just have to make the best of a not ideal situation, which to me they accomplished. But, yeah, I guess we’ll never know what that rollicking concluding chapter might have altered or improved to what we got.

Mastervodo

I love it when Simone gets bloodthirsty! Like with the black credit card in that one scene!

lovemoose

speaking of "secret badass living a regular life" you guys should watch Extraction (2020) .

Shaka, When the Walls Fell

The toothbrush advice is an excellent advice. I was made aware of that some 20 years ago. Luckily, not my toothbrush.

FWPJR.

I’m so glad you two are finally reacting to this, I love this entire franchise. I hope the third movie is coming sooner rather than later.

Michael Robayo

I'm so honored that Simone named her new cat after me. Thank you! LOL.

Major Peril

Always love me some Denzel with director Antoine Fuqua. Two badass MFs when they get together. 😎 +1 for Flight and Deja Vu as well as The Magnificent Seven (2016).

Hamesque

I think the unsung hero of this movie is Liam Neesons amazing performance as Pedro Pascal as the former partner. Not since Tropic Thunder have we seen a dude playing a dude pretending to be another dude done so well.

Mastervodo

Totally agree with this review. 5 Stars.

Ashton Lewis

+ The Bone Collector; I think they will both enjoy that one

Ashton Lewis

George mentions in this reaction that he wonders how this compares to the old TV show. I'm fairly sure they might have actually discussed it in their reaction to the first film too actually now that I think about it

Tanner

The book at the end was his wife's. She was the one who read a lot from the first movie and inspired him to start reading books on that list after she passed. That was the last one he had left to finish so it makes sense she would already have a copy at their old house.

Mike Kay

Love anything with Denzel...let's gooo!!

Godrick

George ACCIDENTALLY perfectly described the plot of The Expendables movies

Thomas Yanez

I can kinda see the Liam Neeson-ness, now that it has been mentioned, but I only saw it after Simone said it... otherwise, that wouldn't have been in my list of guesses.

akaTheBAY-AY-RON

Alright, I'm in the intro. Had to look up the poster (I haven't seen the movie yet so I also am seeing it without knowing who's in it beside Denzel). Does he look like Pedro Pascal? Yes, if he gained weight or wore facial prostetics to make him look heavier for the movie. Does he look like Liam Neeson? I would Also say yes. But also, if he gained weight or wore facial prostetics to make him look heavier for the movie. And that person doesn't look fat, but As far as the face goes, that's where my brain went, to see those two people. Must just be the lighting, angle, ect. #FatTaken #There'sPlentyOfUs

Drew Acheson

George, the "a bunch of bad asses have to team up again" movies you're looking for is The Expendables.

Quis

Hope they have that on their list of movies to watch

Kwazimoto69

Equalizer 3 is my favorite of the three. It's ironically the shortest but also makes me best of taking it's time.. The opening sequence is near perfect in IMHO

Alexander C Chalk

Love Denzel in all of his movies! Unrelated, I'm hoping you guys get to kingdom of heaven one of these days. I know you have a giant back log but figured I'd try.

gfixler

His talk while wiping the graffiti on the building, about nobody doing what anybody could have done was a little bit of an old funny story I was told as a kid, which holds up logically if you change the names to people names: This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was asked to do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

If you watch carefully, you can see in the first two films there are parts that can easily be horror movies(slasher films particularly), where the villain wins… but switch out the villain with McCall. Now when you see that switch, it goes beyond just making a film where the “hero gets vengeance from the baddies”—- it’s more of a”the hero IS just in another league than the baddies”. McCall’s role is played, in the both films, as a monster stalking monsters… but seeing how much and mismatch the villains are, it’s more like THEY BECOME SOLELY THE PREY, and he’s the apex predator… He’s Dracula and every one else is just another vampire upstart. Anyway, enjoy!

Jayson Phillips

The music score of these movies is Epic!! I love this trilogy. Imagine John Wick, Equalizer, and Nobody team up?

gfixler

This was the greatest Lyft ad I've ever seen.

gfixler

Let's hear it for the old brother and sister. That was such a convincingly emotional embrace at the end, I'm not convinced they didn't just track down two people living that actual story, and did the reveal on camera.

Quis

I got a weird sense of Deja Vu that I already seen this reaction from them before

Jayson Phillips

I can't wait for you guys to watch the 3rd one!!!

sb

The actor on the cover does look like Liam Neeson at a glance enough to make you zoom in and find the differences.

Simon Pegged Me

The television series differs from the movies in several respects, but the main one is that in the series, Robert McCall doesn't address injustice he sees; instead, he has an ad targeting people who are in fucked-up situations who have no place to go for help. This was before Geri-action movies, in which the badass hero is in his 50s or 60s, became a genre, so in the series, when things needed to get physical, McCall called in his muscle, Mickey (no, not Burgess Meredith's character from the Rocky films), a contact he made when he was still in the spy business. That being the case, McCall still had an air of FAFO about him. He might have been old, but anyone with a survival instinct would get bad vibes if they ran into him. In trivia, you mentioned that this was Denzel's first sequel, and that's probably because Denzel doesn't pick many roles that lend themselves to sequels. The only one I can think of that was meant to be a franchise was Easy Rawlins for the movie Devil in a Blue Dress (1995). I always thought that was a shame, because I love that book series and Denzel was awesome in the role. (Don Cheadle was equally awesome as Easy's maniacal friend and hired gun, Mouse.) I hope you'll react to that movie in the future and see if you agree. My final thought on Equalizer 2 is of the final scene. I think it is an homage to the final scene in John Ford's The Searchers (1956). In it, John Wayne's character finds the kidnapped girl and returns her to her family, but in the final scene, all the good people hug her and retreat inside the house to resume their happy lives. John Wayne's character doesn't, though. He stands outside the house, framed by the open doorway, unable to come join his family and friends because he is not a good person. He's tainted by the evil he's done and stands outside. The Equalizer 2 seems to be making that same reference. In the final scene of McCall at the beach house, he's shown through the frame of window standing outside. He can't stay in the house that his wife filled with love and happiness anymore. He knows he doesn't belong there. Like John Wayne's character, the things he's done and the things he still needs to do bar him from the life that house represents. TLDR: I hope George & Simone will react to Devil in a Blue Dress (1995) and The Searchers (1956).

Ron

It looks like the 2 cinebinger.ca links point to Grosse Pointe Blank instead of The Equalizer 2.

Cinebinge

Hi Ron, the link issue has been fixed since yesterday soon after posting, are you still seeing the misdirected links?

AVATAR-X

Seems like a good time to re-mention "Person of Interest" (2011), a well-rated tv show whose initial premise is very much like "The Equalizer" but turns into something much more.

John

I love Person of Interest and would recommend it for a long series TV poll. It is very different from the Equalizer even from the beginning.

John

I would expand that list to Malcolm X, Crimson Tide, The Pelican Brief, Mo Better Blues

Ron

After refreshing, I got the updated links. Thank you.

Skyruff Creative

suggest: "Deja Vu" (2006) Denzel Washington, Val Kilmer and many others.

ChiefKC

Well George no self-respecting Southerner doesn't drink iced tea usually sweet iced tea.

Jobbe Smit

Shame the third one is so bad.

Jobbe Smit

Agreed, it's quite different.

Sean Hennessy

Missed in the baker scene, the purpose of the flour is that it can become explosive in the air. There have been explosions at mills before in the past.

MasterElodin

Nobody 2 is out btw. Since you mention it in the intro :)

BridgesNotBurned

Just watched this again today… WOW. You DEFINITELY need to see #3 to close this franchise out. Great closer!

Vinnero

ok it has been a year, time for Eq 3.
