That was Clyde's point, everyone has the potential, you just have to find out how far they need to be pushed. By killing Clyde, Nick ended up proving Clyde's point.

Nah. It's nothing that clever. Foxx was originally written to lose, but he used his clout to get the whole movie changed, to make the audience less sympathetic to Sheldon, more sympathetic to his character, and to hand him the win. There was no such compromise. If they wanted to do it that way, they could have everything play out the same way, but the bomb turns out to be fake, and sheldon could just TELL Foxx's character that he was just suddenly willing to kill. Not that everyone having the potential to kill was ever Sheldon's point. It wasn't.

Clyde is the DAMN Monster. As he LITERALLY Said he's Gonna Destroy the WHOLE City. As the City runs the system. So Clyde was actually gonna Kill Maybe HUNDREDS More Innocent People JUST So he can Vent His Rage. the city was FILLED with people who WERE NO WAY AT ALL connected nor part of the that case and the deal.

The biggest piece of missed potential was Rupert Ames, the much younger man working with Darby who Nick condemned to death despite Clyde telling him Darby was the killer. That would have been an amazing eleventh hour reveal. If someone killed the detective in the tunnel and got Clyde out of his cell before the bomb could blow. You'd get a confrontation at Nick's home where Clyde forces Nick to confess what he did to Ames in front of his family. They proceed to wring case after case out of Nick's corrupt ass, until his own wife cannot even look at him. Clyde and Ames leave him wallowing in the hell of his own making and presumably resume their campaign of carnage. Thanks for reading my fanfic! 😂

*Alternate Ending:* Instead of locking Clyde in his cell with the bomb, Nick's associate is killed in the tunnels and someone gets Clyde out just in time. Nick and his family are then accosted in their home by Clyde. Nick tirades at Clyde, until the second kidnapper reveals himself to be Rupert Ames. This was other intruder who was supposedly executed at the start of the movie. Clyde faked his execution with a truly painful chemical cocktail and swapped him out with a corpse. Ames has been helping Clyde behind the scenes ever since because the system screwed him over just as hard. In front of his family, Nick is forced to confess how he condemned Ames to death row, cutting Darby a deal despite Clyde telling him Darby was the murderer. Why? Because it was good for his conviction rate. Clyde proceeds to read an assortment of names and cases, illustrating the pile of bodies that built Nick's career, before allowing the family to leave. His wife cannot even look at him as they leave. Nick is utterly destroyed and orders them to just kill him. Ames puts a knife to his throat, but merely tilts his head to spot the camera that has been broadcasting his whole confession. "You're the one who makes deals with killers, yeah?" Clyde repeats from earlier. "Do you think they'll make one with you?" Nick can only sit in stunned silence as the pair leave to resume their campaign. The credits roll with various news clips bringing the legal corruption to light. NOTE: Seriously, I was disappointed that more wasn't done with Ames. He was a petty crook that didn't want to hurt anybody. True, Clyde would still blame him, but the torturous pain of his faked death could be vengeance enough for his minor role in Darby's crimes. Also, yes, I *_hate_* this movie because of the ending, where the crooked POS that played games with people's lives gets to walk away without consequence!

This movie should have ended with Nick Rice leaving Clyde in the cell with the bomb. The bomb blows. It's over for Nick. Nick goes home, kisses his wife and daughter, cleans up and sits at the table for dinner. Then the phone rings. He answers. The voice on the other end says, "Hello, councilor. I'd like to make another confession." SEQUEL!!

The lead characters point was in telling the people (especially Nick) that some people you don't make deals with. A lesson he lived by working for the government, remember what his " government job" was. It is possible he could've foreseen his own end.

The scary thing it, the phone bomb, car gas tank bombs, and remote assassination via robot machine gun are all 100% realistic. For example, the phone bomb is a signature of Mossad, that they famously first used to assassinate the bombmaker Yahya Ayyash. It is particularly scary, as the actual bomb is a tiny shaped charge that destroys the brain with an intense shockwave through the skull's weakest point (through the eardrum); this means that the explosive phone is exactly the normal weight for the phone model, making it virtually undetectable. Clyde could have put the bomb in the phone weeks prior, and it would have felt completely normal until the explosion.

After seeing all of the people who represented "the law" being killed as a lesson that you shouldn't compromise when it comes to justice, what does he do? Become a murderer himself rather than turning to THE LAW to punish a murderer.

The interesting part of this movie for me, is no one was really innocent. Even the team that blew up in the cars still had supported Nick in his decisions. The judge allowed people she knew to be guilty to go free or be out on bail. It poses the question - how culpable are we for those decisions we are on the outskirts of that bring about bad events. One of my favourite quotes is ‘All it takes for a evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.’ The people he went after had the choice of being better, of quitting in protest or lobbying for change to the system, of fighting the good fight even when you know you’re going to lose. I think it’s just the question of did the punishment fit their crime?

This is a prime example of an awesome movie that seems less just because of the ending. It’s such a misstep and it’s why you don’t listen to test audiences.

Clyde spent years and millions planning out every last single detail of this plan. He definitely KNEW that judge took it in the ass lol

the most epic truest quote of all time: "Justice, there's no word more loved by the people, and it does have a nice ring to it... , but, without ever exercising your own strength, you seek the death of others, at the hands of someone else, well, the justice you refer to, smells pretty rotten to me, the stench of a blood bath..."

He could have rigged the building he was operating in or the tunnel itself if he really didn't wanna get caught.

He even left the plans and his fake ID in the open to be found. Shelton wanted to cure the system and preventing Nick of ever doing deals again was a big part of it, he was at peace when he died.

@@cavaughngrace1488 Actually he probably did survive because he's the smartest guy in the whole movie sometimes the only smart one period and he probably had another way out and since this is a movie Hollywood could make that happen and since it's him it could be believable

Jamie fox had a major influence and made them change the ending. The original ending described by Gerard Butler was awesome

Great movie up to the ending. Gerard Butler is a very under rated actor.

Not sure if you guys watched 'Death Sentence' yet starring Kevin Bacon but if you enjoyed this one, you'll like that as well.

Awesome once again guys. Great movie, but this movie is a example of a bad ending. How wouldn`t he, being so smart, put a camera, alarm, sensor of presence, anything on the only entry and exit he built for the prison.

The actress who plays the judge really put everything into that death. It was so believable

Clyde did everything EXACTLY as intended. In forcing Nick to kill him and stop making deals, he's turned Nick into a relentless, uncompromising prosecutor who is now in full control of the prosecutor's office. Clyde is with his family and Nick is finally with his for once.

This Notification just made my night❤️❤️❤️ This Movie is Everything...

Great movie!! Butler does no wrong.

Best line of the entire movie: _"I'm just gettin' warmed up. This is 'von Clausewitz' shit. Total fucking war."_

11:21 ...."Why striping down for?".... To show the cops he doesn't has a gun....

You guys have great energy man, some of the best on this platform

Clyde's speech about burning it all down is epic. This was one of the few movies with Jamie Fox where I hated his character. I think 90% of the people I've talked to about this movie were on Clyde's side.

He wanted Nick to understand that there's more to being a lawyer than a high conviction rate. And, to do that, he had to cause chaos. As for the ending he probably would have offed himself anyway, so it was an awesome way to go out

20:38 Clyde's vigilantism has nothing to do with vengeance. If it was about vengeance Nick wouldn't be alive right now. It's about correcting a failed system.

Not "swapped his juices"... that was truly funny!

I love you guys so much !!!!! 😂😂😂 the energy is unmatched ❤️❤️✅🔥

18:45 he took out HHH like he was nothing!

It wasn't that the system was flawed, it was that the prosecution wouldn't even try, they just handed Darby a deal. If the prosecution had tried Darby before a jury none of that would have happened. Because they didn't, Nick decided to wage war against the whole system but he still gave the prosecution a way out but they had to lose to do it.

This movie needs an alternate timeline where Clyde rings up the CIA like, "Hey, I'll work for you, indefinitely, but I want these three men dead."

You might like the movie Patch Adams - 1998, with Robin Williams. The true story of a real life hero ,Hunter "Patch " Adams. It is an inspiration and comedy at the same time. I wish there was more Doctors like him.

I love y’all’s reactions man 😂 especially comedy’s

He stripped before the FBI arrested him so that they couldn’t presume him armed under any circumstance. He knew they were edgy knowing what he’d done, and that he was criminally insane as well as well prepared. Clyde is very smart so he knew they’d have itchy trigger fingers around him and that if they had any feeling that he was pulling any kind of fast one on them, they’d do what cops do and blow him apart. But how you gonna shoot a naked dude with his hands in the air?

Strong moment: Nick, becoming a district attorney, swore on the Bible to protect the law and human rights. The next frame - when asked whether to open private property without a warrant, he answers: "The fuck is rights“

You've been reacting to some bangers recently! 🔥🔥

It's a nice heartwarming movie about a genius making sure his lawyer gets promoted so he can start attending his daughter's recitals instead of having to work so much.

Everyone seems to miss why he gets naked when the cops come. It's obvious to me it's to prove he is unarmed so if there are any trigger-happy policemen they won't become activated.

The real best part of this movie is that foxx was supposed to play Clyde and butler was supposed to play nick but foxx thought it would be racist for a black man to play a villain so they switched roles. The ironic part is to most people and/or popular opinion is that Gerard butler was the only good person in the entire movie. Love it though!

This film also stars Bruce McGill as Jonas.... flashback to 1978 as sometime student D Day in Animal House. Christian Stolte starred as the villian Clarence Darby but has been starring on Chicago Fire as Mooch McHolland since 2012.

Tapir...I love ya, but the headache you gave me through my earbuds is making it hard!!😱 This movie will DEFINITELY make you jump AND think!! You're doing two kickass movies in a row - and I'm sooooo here for it!!

Yes, yes, yes! Thank you so much for reacting to this movie. Keep up the great work you do! Love from Sweden 4:56 am

You know what movie has a similar main character motive to this and is really really good? Death Sentence, starring Kevin Bacon

I haven't seen the entire movie in many years but I've watched 3 or 4 reactions to it and didn't realize he had a hand in the 1st guys death of the 2 criminals.

But Clyde explained how he did it. He rerouted and switched the paralysing chemicals with just a few phone calls and emails.

FUN FACT: Clyde was meant to win in the end. But, Jamie Foxx didn't like losing and got the director to change the script for the end. A lot of folks love this movie, love this story, but hate the ending

20:30 that’s actually a very simple technique. It’s a small C4 charge placed behind a thin piece of steel with a trigger device set to answering the phone. When you pick up, you trigger the C4 shooting the metal at you at the speed of a bullet within inches of your head

Always hated he died in the end. I mean I do understand that he started killing innocent people (even if they sucked at their job), but most people said they understood Clive and felt he shouldn't have lived.

Clyde took his clothes off to show that he didn't have any weapons

I had to rewind your reaction to the judge getting her head blown off 3 times! 😂 it was perfect.

17:54 The sadness i felt when i realize Clyde give him a nice last meal before killing him

Love this movie! Just amazing, thanks for doing this one! 😁

1, Clyde isn't the bad guy, or the good guy but he is justified.. 2, Jamie foxx isn't the good guy... 3, Jamie Foxx had the ending rewritten because he wanted to play a good guy.

He used the law to fight against his enemies. He was winning by following the law. The only way to beat him was to break the law. Therefore, he was a law abiding citizen.

This movie was good love the video octokrool stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

my favorite film I was on Gerard Bulter side through the movie

Idk why, but your reactions to the stupid broken wheel made my chuckle more than I needed to 😂

I knew you guys would like this movie. I really enjoyed your discussion afterward, too. P.S. Curtis, I hope to never hear the words "I'm not smart enough" pass your lips again.

You guys should watch "Nikita" ("La Femme Nikita"), by Luc Besson ("The Fifth Element"), the original one, not the US softer version "Point of No Return" by John Badham.
