David Strathairn in The Equalizer

[KnightVow]

A great clip that provokes introspection.

[AGLYT1]

Man, this clip should chill anyone's blood.

[PaulYorkandBabyVegan]

It is a very compelling picture of hell. Even if it occurred only in his unconscious and was not a literal place that evildoers go to, we can surmise that the way of violence does not pay off, that we must begin to approach this existence with humility and greater reverence for life and compassion for others. One does not have to adopt explicitly religious ideologies to accept this as essentially true. Moral lessons about life and death can come to us in many ways: through dreams, reflections.

and this actor still didn't get an Oscar...what's wrong with people thase days?

[anditslikethat]

Great scene. It wouldn't fly in today's atmosphere though, because these days everyone is afraid to talk about religion.

Wow. This scene is like one fantastic acting or audition piece (film or theater).

Gee.... I really miss that old show. It was one of my favorites!!!

[tangcameo]

Thanks! I always wondered if the 'Matrix' people were sued by the 'Equalizer' people. Or if they had permission or people who worked on both shows.
