I personally feel Clyde is right in his ideals, and I don't know if it's right or wrong to say he took it too far. It depends on the context you're coming from personally I think And let's be real: Nick cheated the system to win. He broke into Clyde's property without a warrant and placed the bomb in Clyde's cell with the knowledge that this would kill him.

The only bad thing about this movie is that the wrong side won

"This is a victory for us." This line pisses me off so much every time I watch this. For Nick, it's his career and success, publicity and new clients. For Clyde, it's about carving out some slight bit of peace after everything he cared about was ripped from him, leaving him a hollow shell of a person. Nick took away Clyde's chance to heal because Darby destroyed his life and Nick used him as a bargaining chip to further his career.

The ending has always annoyed me. The man is a genius with multiple backup plans for everything and he didn't devise a way to be alerted to someone coming through his tunnel? He didn't have an alternate escape route from the cell? The only explanation is he planned to die no matter what and he saw that he finally got his point across, so he figured that was the time. I'm not sure I would want to live after my wife and daughter were murdered either. That said, I have read that the ending was supposed to be Clyde living, but it was changed during production...allegedly because Foxx didn't want his character to lose. Don't know how true that is.

The ending scene where Nick spending time with his family. Gives me the vibe that he victimized himself as a survivor? Makes me wonder did he ever feel remorse for his decisions?

Like many people, I really hated Nick. He really didn't care how many lives was destroyed as long as he had a high conviction rate and only started to care about "justice" when he was the one being affected by what was going on. Just as he proved with Darby. He didn't care if someone got away with murder. As long as he got to convict someone, it didn't matter if the one convicted was guilty or innocent.

My brother was murdered 5 days before his sons (my nephews) first birthday. He was shot in the head and then had gasoline poured on him and was burnt. I had to watch my nephew open his birthday presents 5 days later with all his "Love Daddy" gifts. The guy who murdered him was out less than 6 years later (I'm in Canada).

Planting evidence- which is in itself pretty rare realistically and unnecessary in this case as a knife on his person wouldn’t have mattered nor would having a gun as he was in his own home. Drugs might do something but again he’s accused of murder. The facts are in a tense high pressure and stress situation like that with the SWAT team coming in full tactical gear - they’re more likely to shoot first and ask questions later. But if he’s naked on his knees hands behind his head it gives them the illusion of safety and full control. Meanwhile he’s actually in full control.

There is an original ending draft where Jamie's character loses and would go to jail and ends with him having to make a deal with the flawed system he works for. I really wish they stuck with that ending as this film you really wanted Gerald to succeed. Jamie's character sucked due to how he focused on his occupation where it affected his family life and Gerald just to maintain a perfect record.

The thing I love about this movie is that they had to break several laws in order to beat him, which is part of his whole point. The system is broken. At every level.

Don't be so quick to buy what Nick said; about "At least they get some justice". He was a highly ambitious climber. The only thing on his mind was how to use a high conviction rate as a stepping stone. His motivation for the deal was corrupt, no matter how he prettied it up with his own justification. I love this movie, and I'm so happy you guys watched it. :)

Such a great movie, that just really botched up the ending. No way should Nick have outsmarted Clyde. And he ends up learning absolutely nothing. Personally I would have wanted Clyde's entire plan to run out as planned. And then the very final step would be to put Nick's family in danger, the only chance he had for saving them was to kill Clyde himself, thereby doing what needs to be done. Once Clyde's project was over there was no need for him to keep on living, he'd want to be with his family. And Nick would have to break every principle he believed in to save the ones he loved thereby proving the faults of the system.

Everyone believes that Clyde is after revenge. But that wasn't it - at least, not until the very end. He really was teaching Nick a lesson. Nick had always put his professional ambitions above EVERYTHING. He put his ambitions above the pursuit of justice for Clyde's family, and he even put it above his very own family. In their final scene together, Nick informs Clyde that he no longer makes deals with murderers. And in the very final scene, Nick puts his family before his job by finally going to one of his daughter's recitals. At the very end of it all, Clyde won.

The irony of this movie is that the means they tried to go to punish Clyde for outsmarting them is happening in real life to people who never committed any crimes except for the crime of the system just not liking them. Like what the mayor and the judge said, whatever legal loophole they can use to violate a man’s god given rights they will use to remain in power they will do.

The Mayor was NOT "Violating" Anything! She was Trying to Defend the City! as Look at Clyde, this guy is PISSED off cause of what happened to his family. Make no mistake, IM ALSO MAD, Nick made a deal to Keep up his Conviction Rates, THATS MESSED UP. But CLyde is Also messed up. As some say Nick does not care About Justice Just so Long as he Keep's his High Rates up, well Look At Clyde, he also does not care about the Lives of Innocent People JUST so Long as he Can Unleash ALL his Rage on the City. As Clyde, he's not Getting Justice for his family, all he is doing is Attacking And terror-Bombing a great City ALL because He cant See the Truth, which is What he's doing is Not gonna solve or fix anything. Its not gonna bring his family Back and its not just instantly gonna "FIX" the Law. Is the Law Flawed, Yes it is. But also, Clyde delusionally believing he can make the world a better place by Using terrorism is also Flawed and CRAZY. CLyde lost his family, Its Terrible. Well all the Innocent people he killed who HAD NOTHING AT ALL to do with the deal and Also, Had their OWN Family's. and What Clyde did, he ruined these family's. CLyde's a hypocrite. As here he is, Berating the Law for not punishing darby and ames and yet, Clyde has BECOME Worse then darby. as darby, He was not threating the WHOLE CITY.

I May not agree with Nick On the deal Like i said, But id DO ANYTHING to protect the city. as in, IF Clyde By ANY CHANCE Got his hands on a Nuke, I DO Believe he'd Use it.

He got naked so the cops will know that he isn't concealing any weapons. Especially after cutting someone into 25 pieces, the cops would consider him extremely dangerous.

The power dynamic in that scene and the acting alone made this film worth the watch!

I have always felt that Clyde was planning on holding himself accountable it's just that Nick uncovered things before he got the chance to do his final act. Clyde knew with all the crimes and murders he committed he was going to die, he wasn't planning on living much longer because there was nothing worth living for. He only lived the last 10 years to show them how messed up the system is and teach Nick the lessons.

I hated the ending. I wanted Clyde to get them all 😆 The Judge scene was something else, wasn't it.

Reaaaaly weird reactions guys but love it. I have never been happier every time Clyde took justice into his own hands. Everything as _justifiable_ Sad about the ending that the villain won...

"Thats why we've got people like Matt Murdock." With respect my friend I think this is how guys like Frank Castle are made.

Oh I fully understand him getting revenge and I definitely condone it.

It never ceases to amaze me that most everyone who watches this movie thinks that Jamie Foxx outsmarted Clyde at the end. Why would someone so meticulous leave a bomb in the middle of a room? He wanted Foxx to find it and hoped he would do the right thing by bringing it to his cell. To do what had to be done meaning he had learned his lesson. Clyde wanted to be with his family again. He got exactly what he wanted

I wouldn't push it that far. The only reason why the bomb was found is because Nick broke the rules twice (illegal investigation concerning Clyde's properties + invasion without a warrant). Clyde's planning was under the assumption that Nick would follow the rules.

You know the therm mama bear ,its more then just protective , you really don't what to hurt someones child or family because justice won't even matter.

I personally hated this ending and prefer the true end where he succeeded and won. The movie chocked and did a turn around and gave the win to the lawyer undeservedly. its such a anticlimactic ending without a resolution as he up to the end did not change his mind on his corrupted belief of justice, that he uses it as a way for him to win. The change where nick wins makes no since as nick was always 10 steps behind, always refusing to admit his mistake to the ending.

If you look at history, Leonidas was a pedo, a rapist and a slave owner piece of garbage. Basically the opposite of what 300 makes him out to be.

The issue with making the villain win in this film is that it send the wrong message about what real justice is at the end when it spent all the film explaining how that form of justice was justified. They only ended it this way so they wouldn’t be accused of inciting violence otherwise it makes no sense, yes it’s real life and in reality that would probably be the ending but it’s still frustrating and confusing because they also made the ending message is that violence solved violence so that’s an immediate contradiction to what they were trying to say by this subpar ending. Clyide became an extremist because of a corrupt system so you make the corrupt system win ? Come on now 😅😂 On a more positive and less infuriating note, the action was super impactful and made you feel anxious every min during which is what it should do.

I am REALLY conflicted about this movie. On the one hand, Clyde is an INCREDIBLE antagonist. The performance, the Saw-like planning, the backstory... You're right. You're rooting for this guy for the most part. But then he crosses the line and starts killing everyone who was even peripherally involved with his case and he loses the moral high ground. And then the car bombs just solidify him as a zealot who doesn't care who he hurts to make his point. That's incredible, but the movie kind of lost me right at the end when Nick dismissed the idea of civil rights to break into the warehouse. And then planted the bomb in the cell. He turned into the same kind of zealot Clyde had become, took matters into his own hands and dealt "justice" on the fly. No trial. No judge. Nothing. He had Clyde dead to rights and decided to just off him. I still love this movie, but it really lost me at the end. Oh, and that bit with the exploding cell phone is SUCH a good jump scare even though this isn't a horror movie.

Probably because at the end Nick is never shown acnowledging this. He just walks away and returns to his family. There's never a moment where he truly stops and says to himself "I had to turn into Clyde and abuse the system to stop the killer, working for the system didn't work".

For me, this type of revenge IS justice!

In the same vein you must watch Death Sentence... a 2007 American vigilante action thriller film directed by James Wan and starring Kevin Bacon.

Every time I see this movie I always wonder if he planned for every scenario and every version of that scenario how many branches were set up, but never used? I wonder how many people were still tied up somewhere, unexploded bombs, who knows what waiting for their part that never happened😂

My favorite thing is in the original script the roles were reversed, Jamie was clyde and while filming Gerald suggested they switch

🙏Keep it rolling with another Jamie Foxx movie "Collateral" that he did alongside Tom Cruise which earned him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor in 2005. I didnt see it in your YT library of reactions content in case you haven't seen it already. Great reaction.👏🏾

One of the most controversial movies, for its ending. When most people agree that Clyde should have won, there's a problem with the system.

I fucking LOVE this move! The ONLY thing I would change is the ending: Nick's daughter ends her recital, and suddenly BOOM! She gets shot or blown up and dies. The camera pans to the look of horror on Nick's face and...fade to black. THE END. Ahhh, that would've been AWESOME!

42:42 liquefied Kermit the Frog - He's that ruthless!

There’s a lingering question as to whether Clyde - despite what he claims - is after change or vengeance and the plot of the movie heavily leans towards the latter. This unfortunately hurts Clyde as a character because he’s spoken about as this hyper efficient being at getting things done and his claims in the movie would have you believe that he wants to change the system and hold people accountable. While killing the original perpetrators was a given, it doesn’t make sense to kill anyone else because if they’re dead, they can’t take any accountability.

this is such a great movie. the acting is amazing and i really appreciate how they portray our broken justice system. on a comical note though, i love jamie foxx, but every time i see him act i still have flashbacks of him as wanda wayne from in living color 😋 thanks again for the amazing content. you guys rock!

@wahidnazari96 already watched that one man! Sorry 😕 It’s actually one of our favorite films ever

The 3rd of act of the movie is where a major rewrite was needed. Nick doesn't ever have a redemption arc or anything in this movie that makes it feel like he's changed by the end. He shows some remorse for his part in not doing enough to serve justice, even recognizing that he was greedy and egocentric to pursue a career over doing good. It would have been more interesting to see him taking steps to correct his past mistakes and actually change. As for Clyde, he definitely took things too far once his plans started to endanger people who were more innocent than others. But the biggest problem with Clyde is that it got to a point where his story-arc just stalls and his reasonings for continuing are not logical. Sure, killing criminals, corrupt officials, and exposing the system is going to cause demand for change but he's hitting a point where he's becoming more scarier. He's even hit OP mode with how he's able to do all of this stuff like he's Jason Bourne or something. The ending I would have gone with is that Clyde reaches a realization that he's become a monster in his pursuit to get revenge, instead giving up his plans once Nick finally shows true remorse for his decisions and even acknowledges that he's partially responsible for pushing Clyde down a dark path. Although acknowledging that the system will most likely remain the same, Nick promises to do better and asks for his forgiveness, which Clyde gives. Clyde confesses to his actions and is put on death row, while Nick is the only one there for his execution. Afterward, Nick represents a family who lost a child and decides to pursue the case forward, despite knowing that the chances of winning are low.

Such a amazing film, the first bit after Darby when Jamie thinks it's all easy and the power switch to Gerald is absolutely insane, you can literally feel it move across the rooms 🎉

The fact that Jamie has all those deaths on his conscience because he wanted 96% conviction rate how could you live with your self

Fun Fact: The ending was originally different but Jamie Foxx didn't like that Clyde(the bad guy in Jamie Foxx's mind)won. So he refused to shoot the ending unless they changed it. Which is why a man who was so smart he was designing assassinations for the government got outsmarted and taken down by a New York prosecutor.

This is one of my favorite revenge movies. Clyde goes absolutely scorched earth

Back when this movie came out I thought it was outlandish and nothing like this could happen. With the way lenient laws are going right now it’s only a matter of time until something like this happens.

Imagine John Kramer aka. Jigsaw from Saw, the OG, who is the only one that will punish Ben Rice, break him, make him suffer and admit his guilt or sin for what he did 10 years ago out of selfishness, ignorance, hypocrisy, and inconsideration for getting a high conviction rate and not helping an innocent man like Clyde Shelton get justice for him and his family.
