![]() ![]() A better ending: A.) Nick Price straight up kills Clyde or B.) Clyde kills Nick Price as the final sacrifice and either gets away or gets caught and takes his death penalty having gotten the vengeance he sought. ![]() Let's see: 1.) transporting armed napalm 2.) have no idea when he'll detonate it 3.) got it back to his cell (of course through the secret entrance) 4.) stayed in the cell until he was ready to detonate it 5.) escaped before being blown up too. Sure, they brought the bomb back to his cell to make him do himself in, but that was so absurd. It was obvious that he was trying to play the cocky DA but he mailed in the performance. The dialog between Clyde and Nick was too cheesy in fact, this was not a good Jamie Foxx performance. But, as the movie went on, Clyde was targeting everyone BUT Nick. Get him fired, make him lose his family and then land him in prison somehow. I was thinking: he's going to destroy his life. who is the MOST liable for the lack of justice? Obviously it would be Nick Rice!! So why then wasn't he immediately targeted? At first I was thinking that Clyde had something more in store for Nick. I ask you: after the two scumbag criminals, their lawyer and the judge. Each move made tactical sense until towards the end. the criminals, then he extended out from there. He started his warpath with the most responsible parties, i.e. You couldn't help but root for Clyde to some degree as he wrought death and havoc upon those responsible for his family's killer's light sentence. The movie was quite inventive and clever, even if Clyde was mad with vengeance. That leaves Clyde to take matters into his own hands. DA, soon to be DA, Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), tries the case and doesn't secure a verdict satisfactory to Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler). This atrocity happens very early in the movie and sets the tone. A middle aged man by the name of Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) witnesses his wife and daughter get brutally murdered at the hand of two criminals. After hearing about this from a teammate, a friend and a coworker (not all the same person), I decided to watch it. ![]()
