But just remember that the man who allows himself to lose his self-control and, as you put it .. "was compelled" to react like an automaton, like a mere knee jerk nerve fiber reacting without any choice at all in the matter, under a faux duress that he himself voluntarily subjected himself to, and so very easily after "enduring" a string of mere words, child's playground insults at best, is, frankly, a complete fool who sets himself up moment by moment for a lifetime of letdown and self-loathing. But don't get me wrong. Marton Csokas does a bang up job inhabiting the role and deserves major kudos for bringing to the screen a very believable case of a person engaging in such tragic self-sabotage. You can almost see him cowering behind a shaky veneer of cool self-assured machismo that requires great effort to display in order to hide the essential human weakness.

I love what they did with Pedro. They are two different types of characters, Pedro's character is about the banality of evil. Killing a friend of decades, a woman who trusted him, while pretending he's not evil. His internal monologue would have been, Jesus, honey, why did you fight it so hard? I sent two men you didn't know, so your last moments wouldn't have to be betrayal. And yet here we are, because you just couldn't give in, for once. He'd turn it around in his head, make it her fault. These are the men that have faux guilt and say, why'd you make me hit you? I write characters like Pedro's often, and they chill me more. In my life, I always see the ones like Teddy coming clearly, which makes all the difference. The ones who have convinced themselves they are a good man, who just 'has to' do evil things, with such banality...those are the ones that get me. I'd say dealing with him was much more difficult for Robert too.

All that coming about in about 18 seconds!!... yet on the flip side Denzel's character is of someone truly in full control knowing his capabilities and professionalism!!!... and actually sets his watch as his actions are already precalculated and shocked the hell out of these five guys who think they've got him right where they want him!!!. .18 seconds later they're all laying dead or dying on the ground!!!.... that's a very powerful connection that most people don't see of the two main characters in this movie!!!

@@shawnfitzgibbon1109 Shawn I’m glad you survived. We appreciate you taking a real beating to give your audience authenticity. I hope it didn’t end your acting career ,-)

Little John messed with wrong dude.

I know many people love Denzel, but imo this movie is saved by Csokas. His scenes are the best.

Frank-Do me a favor and don't call him Little John Teddy-I'm pretend I didn't hear that

Marton is just one of those actors that was almost born to play the bad guy.

I really wished we saw a hand to hand combat scene between McCall and Nikolai as I would’ve loved to see that

Radio commentary over the beating was a nice touch. 😁

"No information, no protection, no assurances".

"The Equalizer" is a movie about a sociopath taking care of taking out a psychopath.

Finally, for those who like to fantasize about this kind of thing, I don’t think you want to try either receiving OR EVEN GIVING ~30 punches or kicks. THAT ish is beyond exhausting.

The Equalizer and John Wick 1 are by far my top revenge and justice movies.

Frank was badass in this scene, quick on the draw

I thought so too. Teddy had a lot of confidence in him that's for sure. They could of been easily dead.

ikr everyone praising teddy but frank executed the one dude so quick and dropped the other guy.

His ground n pound game is strong.

Martin Csokas was brilliant here.

Smart move, uses the map to get a drop on him. johnny should have stood up to match this gesture.

Johnny probably didn't expect Frank to shoot his 2 bodyguards the way he did.

its mostly down to luck that that didnt go south. the bodyguards were piss poor, it wouldnt be hard to notice that one of your visitors has something behind his back that he drew, seeing one of your guests get that close to your boss, and to top it off, knowing that there was construction going on that would likely mask gunshots if the shots were limited so back up was unlikely. further, as you mentioned, the idiot didnt stand up, and didnt arm himself.

@@fukumarkzuckerburg They aren’t dumb they’re just amateurs. Frank is an FBI agent and they’re going into tense waters. He’s going to give himself the best vantage point possible in the room if stuff goes south. Secondly they wouldn’t have noticed anything since they weren’t even looking at him, they were both looking straight ahead and he was behind them. And when their boss got attacked all their attention was on him so they missed frank pulling it out

@@MOMO-436 frank pulled before any violence occurred because hes a professional and spotted the warning signs. even pulled the hammer to half cock to reduce the draw weight. as far as them not noticing because he was behind them, simple threat assessment would have fixed that. two bodyguards, two guests, one bodyguard per guest, ensure any oddball movement is addressed.

This would be a good time to be Little John's dentist. And plastic surgeon.

Marton Csokas is outstanding.

The baseball game in the background is a nice touch to the beating scene especially the “get a doctor” part 😂

I understand the scene where little John took the beat down took 3 days to film....Both great actors

I always thought it was john yelling, na it was the king of evil yelling as he beat little john to a pulp.

Real 'Frank Castle Grizzly Roar'.

3:54 ... subtitles: [Applause] 🤣🤣🤣

Marton Csokas would make an excellent bond villain

"Whatever you do, don't call him Little John" And how would Teddy have even known that that was a nickname he was called?

This first movie is waaaay better than the sequel. As i think on it, it's possibly because of this character Teddy, combined with Denzel's character. Riveting.

Lol 😂 Wish I could get satisfactory revenge like this
