The first book that McCall was reading in the diner was "Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. The second book was "The Man of La Mancha" by Miguel de Cervantes

Add to your sequels list: "The Equalizer 2" (2018) "The Equalizer 3" (2023) currently on US Netflix

- The actor playing Teddy/Nikolai was in "Bourne Identity" and "Bourne Supremacy" as another Treadstone agent, the one who shot Conklin in the street at the end of "Bourne Identity" - The actor playing the main police officer is David Harbour. You saw him as the sheriff on "Stranger Things" and as Santa/Nicomund in "Violent Night". - The actor playing the thug/goon with the beard and pointy, waxed mustache was also a thug/goon in "John Wick" (in the night club) and "The Accountant" (fight on the pickup at the farm)

Russian mob has become a staple as bad guys because after the end of the Cold War, Vory v Zakone and Bratva organizations have come to a powerful position in international OC, bolstered by the skills of former KGB, GRU, and Soviet/Russian special forces members. They are easily recognized by their many tattoos. Each one has a meaning, for example the ones on their knuckles each represent a conviction and prison sentence, the specific design tells other vors what the conviction was for. The stars on their chest under the collar bone represent the rank of "Captain" in their hierarchy (all 5 of the ones McCall killed in the first fight had stars).

There were a bunch of similar movies that came out around the same time: "Parker" (2013) "The November Man" (2014) "The Equalizer" (2014) "John Wick" (2014) This usually means that someone was shopping around a script or idea and execs from studios that passed on the project then tried to do their own similar versions.

Highly recommend Denzel movies obviously Equalizer pt 2, American Gangster, Training Day, Inside Man, Glory, Safe House, Deja Vu. One of the best actors of all time for sure.

Great reaction! Btw, the song that starts playing over the intercom at the Home Mart is Gladys Knight and the Pips (you remember he said he used to be a Pip) 😉 & the song is Midnight Train to Georgia. Just a little fun start to all the action. lol. You should check it out. Really enjoyed watching your reaction. I just love this movie. Even tho the kill scenes are a little hard to stomach sometimes. lol. Love Denzel. Never made a bad movie. FYI “The Book of Eli” is an AMAZING Denzel film. Looking forward to more.

JAKH

Denzel had several good movies in the early 2000's: "Man on Fire" (2004 remake) "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" (2009 remake) "Fallen" (1998)

Cool man! Great Reaction loved it. I recommend The taking of Pelham 123 a train movie starring John Travolta and Denzel Washington. It's worth watching.
