What I love about this movie series is the micro detailing. Denzel sensing someone is climbing up his stairs, the key chain moves with the steps of the person outside, he times it and opens the door just when the person is right outside. Other scenes in the series- carefully folding the envelope in the Russian mob scene, closing the door 3 times to feel if it's thick enough to avoid the noise going outside, the train scene where he taps the tea glass 3 times.

And when he is sinking his teeth into a role, Denzel is going to make stuff happen. This is one of the best "cop first meets protaganist" scenes ever. And Teddy nails the killer "Everything about him is wrong." Both actors, breathtaking scene.

What I find especially cool about this scene is that Robert has managed to mantain his facade of being a bland every day normal person who works at a hardware store, eats at the same diner every night and likes to read. No one is any the wiser. But after Teddy speaks with him for less than 5 minutes his immediate words are "Everything about him is wrong." Everyone around Robert thinks he's completely normal but Teddy sees right through the facade almost instantly. It just adds to how intimidating he is as a villain.

A lot of people miss the fact that Robert walked to open the door with his book in hand, making sure to take it with him as he got up from the table. This is representative to how an ordinary person uses a handgun or a shotgun to answer a suspicious noise at the door but all McCall needs is a hardcover book. Truly a skilled tactician.

Always love the brilliance of this scene. There’s supposed to be a clear division (Light and Dark) as they spoke at the doorway. But as the We Who comes, Denzel has no fear at all stepping into his dark zone to tangle with him and dominate this intimidation.

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.

This scene is crucial. It demonstrates the skills of both parties. Teddy's skill in finding Robert.

Teddy equipment with this information now also knows that Robert must surely possess a particular set of skills😊

This scene is so good. Him hiding his eyes with the shadow of the door, the way Denzel steps out of the door after he confronts him, just so good

Teddy never fully steps into the light. As if hesitating.Mcall without hesitation steps into the darkness to confront the beast. Sheeesshh

2:38 Facial gestures could win an Oscar. Perfection for a psychopathic personality!

Reading the comment section made me appreciate so much more about the body language in this scene. It's a fucking masterpiece.

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.

Denzel is so smooth. He disarms every other character in every movie he's ever been in, with his plain delivery

i love how neither one was letting much slip or out, just enough to try and steer the conversation to get the other to leak something.

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.

This is a masterclass at confrontation scenes even though it is so underrated and usually dismissed as a one time action thriller watch. It is indeed Phenomenal.

Very simple and effective scene. The idea that Teddy was intimidated is false though. If anything, him ascending the stairs to face Robert again was a confirmation move. He already had suspicion of him from the initial interaction but by Robert stepping out after asking the questions showing he wasn't fooled by the appearance gave Teddy exactly what he needed to start looking into him further. It truly was a great display of two forces cut from a similar clothe on opposite ends of the spectrum. Teddy already knew he wasn't dealing with someone easy to kill and Robert knew better than to waste another moment pondering anything else. For both of them it was green light from that moment on.

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?"

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." 🤣

"We find people we need to find". That moment where McCall get's close to him, the ominous background music made the tension so high. At any moment either one of them could have made an attack moment, but decided it was not the right time to do it. Damn great filmmaking.

i love how he is not disturbed by seeing a dead person photo. Most people would have not reacted that way. Great acting.

each scene in this movie is a masterclass. everything.

Watch at 1:30. Robert prepares himself in case Teddy is going to pull out a gun. Never noticed this until now.

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

“Don’t you wanna leave me your card officer?” Such a calmly mocking intro to establishing control.

Can we just appreciate the directing/writting of this particular scene, Teddy shows photo of a dead woman, that he knew Bob-(Denzel )had a form of friendship with, just 2 see his reaction, yet denzel did not show any emotion of surprise,grief, as that would have told Teddy he knew her, we also got 2 give Marton Csokas) props, who held his own acting with Denzel

At 2:00, he steps right into his line of sight as he takes an aggressive posture. Such a small but strategic move.

Imagine meeting a stranger to interrogate them just for them to end up interrogating you

Denzel is so powerful, he can leave the lights on at 0:20, turn them off with the power of his brain and return back to the completely dark room at 2:24.

That chest up after he said "how'ed you find me," love it.

A very cool scene. Two alphas measuring each other up. They’re not saying anything but telling each other everything.

Martin is such a great villain in this movie.

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.

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?

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.

I love all the action heroes, Denzel, Keanu, Jason, Arnold, Stallone, Bruce. But, there is just something different when Denzel plays the role. I can't put my finger on it, but it is awesome.

It is really sensational how they weigh or measure each other, Marton Csokas marvellously showed untamed mercilessness in Teddy Character also which made a shiver ran down in spine ..

Teddy: She fell down and broke her neck... Denzel @1:43 Did she? His expressions indirectly telling Teddy hes full of shit, after that teddy snatches the photo back...

When he says "she fell down and broke her neck", he was measuring Denzel's response. Martin knew that Denzel would easily tell that, that was not the case. Just an intimidation move to see if he would back up and take a big gulp with his eyes wide open, or, say "really?" with a wry smile. When he said "really?", Martin turns and says "we'll be in touch". What he wanted to say was "we have you ALL fucked up in our assessment, and now I am afraid that you are going to kill us all". Lol
