It's not that the law cna be stupid, it's the fact that there's too much "grey zones" where people exploits them. Lawyers and judges, most of them, think only like a machine, a machine made only of rules that is a Law system. And like any machines, it can be hacked. That's why a real law use logic and rules of a civilised nation. Not just the rules that are so easy to play with. And that's how alot of people Win and walk freely. Which really pisses me off day by day...

Butler's character was COMPLETELY in the right

Jaime Foxx is supposed to play the protagonist, yet I find him very unlikable in this move.

[@ihizz87]

I agree, almost too arrogant.

[@snuffalapagus]

But that's the thing - no one is the protagonist in this movie. Its very ambivalence, the fact that the movie presents a situation and allows you, the viewer, to decide where the lines should be drawn is what makes the movie so brilliant. It's profoundly cerebral.

[@snuffalapagus]

***** Not the way I see it, but I respect your interpretation of the film.

[@snuffalapagus]

***** Not at all. But his abhorrence for the judiciary system that wronged him in such a life-altering way is a far cry from incomprehensible, if you ask me. The death of the innocent people were deaths he felt needed to occur in order to achieve his ultimate goal of bringing down the "diseased, corrupt temple" of the system. Though, I'd say the only person he killed that didn't deserve to die was Sarah, Jamie Foxx's blonde assistant.

[@snuffalapagus]

***** Of course his actions weren't justified. But he did have his reasons for committing them, as I stated in my previous comment. As for causing trauma to Nick's wife and kids, I doubt he intended for them to see the video he sent to Nick's home.

[@kitkatpattywhack]

I think what I like best about this scene, is that Butler looks so docile and fragile when he is being questioned. Then he just changes face, and its like, sit down, because shit's about to get real....

😄 Spot on. One thing though Fox's character didn't shit himself when he was told to cancel his 1230 lunch with the judge. I know I would've I'd be shouting at him in a low gruff voice and slamming his head against the table "WHERE IS SHE" oh wait , wrong movie.

Clyde did win, he convinced Nick that what he did wasn’t irrational and the final shot of the movie where he’s watching his daughters recital, his face is a blank stare realizing he would have done everything exactly the same which would cause him to never make deals with murderers. This would have an entire effect on the entire law system that justice must be served or else you screw over the wrong people. So therefore Clyde got exactly what he wanted, for people to receive the punishments they deserve not the ones that work best for lawyers.

+kev3d what? i really liked Collateral's ending, it made perfect sense and was built up in that movie, unlike this one. What purpose would letting Tom Cruise win serve? He even got the "moral victory" in the end with that subway line.

[@kev3d]

+DeathtoRaiden1 Cab drivers are not known for their prowess with firearms and close-quarters combat, experienced assassins however, are. As for what purpose would it serve, who cares? It doesn't need to serve any purpose other than to not contradict the internal rules of the movie -and it doesn't mean that Tom Cruise needs to "win" or Foxx to "lose". It just didn't need to be Foxx pulling the trigger. Why not have Foxx use something that he *does* know, like cars, to save the day?

[@DeathtoRaiden1]

kev3d What are you even talking about? What do you think a handgun is? A spaceship? Do you need a college degree or be a former Navy Seal to know that you point the bit with the whole at something and press in the slim lever thinggie to shoot? They even shot the secene in a way to show it was a lucky shot. Tom Cruise character got too personally involved in the matter and that's what got him killed. He died because he broke his own rules. But he proved his philosophy was right, he died on that train and no one will care, all the things both of them went through that night are lost in the wind, it's like they never happened to the outside world.

[@kev3d]

+DeathtoRaiden1 KZbin is filled with inexperienced people firing a gun, and even after they have been prepared, with a round chambered and safety off, they still manage to screw it up spectacularly. Guns are not as easy to handle for the inexperienced as the movies would have you believe -not to mention the added difficulty of having a trained assassin who could (and did) plug a guy from across a busy club floor.

[@kev3d]

+$3R6!0 Having a "lot to live for" does not make one a better shot. In fact, one who holds life dear may well avoid unnecessary risks, especially one who has had no particular training. The reason Collateral's ending was terrible is because it is a cop out, a cheap way to end the film, a near deus ex machina where, by some miracle, the meek guy who has no combat experience at all is able to take out the calm, cold, experienced killer. Die Hard made sense because John McClane was a trained cop which the bad guys didn't anticipate. Predator makes sense because Dutch was an elite special forces soldier. But Collateral makes no sense because Max was a Taxi driver. It would be like having the ship's engine mechanic, rather than Maverick, fly the fighter and defeat the bad guys in Top Gun.

BrynTheSkits The ending was pretty blunt, I will agree. Just sort of like "oh shit" boom!

[@minatodroger7890]

so damn true that damn ending ugh

[@thewarriorhk]

it was funny cos when butler got to his hide out foxx was still at that building no way he could of got to the prison before Butller bullshit ending

[@dennisritchie149]

This was actually my favorite part of the movie. The government always blames criminals because they choose to do their crimes; however it's the government that (statistically) fails to rehabilitate them and then lies about it. The DA here chose to serve a corrupt system, and he gets pissed off when he realizes it and blames it on this guy.

[@ivanpb1983]

Some people never understood the movie: Clyde never want to be a vigilante, or simply revenge; he want to prove that the system has a lot of failures, that things don't go as well as supposed to.

[@ghostface9702]

Yeah I guess. He did start killing out of revenge though for his wife and kids.

[@DeBattousai]

it still happen in murica today and gonna continue for next years

[@pUrpLEsnake325]

I realize now that the entire movie, even up to the end, Shelton was testing Nick and his morals. He was seeing how far he could push him with making deals, like asking for a mattress, or dinner and music, even though Nick KNEW Shelton did it. He did that because Nick wouldn't go to trial for the men who murdered his family because he wasn't sure he could win the case. So Shelton dangled the confession in his face to get him to do morally questionable things as opposed to the right thing. And in the end Shelton pushed Nick to do what I think Shelton himself felt was the right thing. That's why when he realizes he's about to be killed with his own bomb, simply sat down and made his peace with it. He got his revenge, and he finally pushed Nick to do the right thing, to not compromise with murderers, to be a better person, a better father, something he could never be again.

[@CrazyMunky84]

A real lawyer would rip those answers apart and demand a yes or no answer.

[@34Ladarehius]

A real lawyer can't force you to give a yes or no answer

[@CrazyMunky84]

34Ladarehius A real lawyer could easily show blatant deception and present evidence to prove your trying to circumvent the system and in time prove you did what you're accused of.

[@NeoRazgriz]

Lawyer more worried about a conviction rating instead of trying to do the right thing. Pride blinded him and he couldn’t see it or even acknowledge it.

[@redlackawanna]

This just proves that the law favors the criminals

[@MrFiendyBob]

The only reason Nick won over Clyde is because Clyde basically told him everything , Clyde Is Way Too Clever

[@aaroncarter734]

Thats a fact

This movie was so good. Everything was done to perfection. Whoever directed this did an awsome job

The ending ruined the movie.

In a movie that embodies incredulity, the fact that Foxx's character walks away thinking he has a confession actually stands out.

"Its not what you know, its what you can prove" Isnt this line from Training Day?

[@OJGillom]

Yes it was Pointl. Since Jamie is a big fan of Denzel, he ad lib that from " Training Day " Enjoyed Gerald Butler in this movie. This movie makes you really think about the legal system.

[@Kritacul]

This movie had soooooo much potential. He was always one step ahead and "of course" he makes a mistake(Which they said many of times over in the movie, he doesn't make) and he gets busted and killed. I was hoping this would've been another Inside Man(if you haven't seen, it's a must. One of the best plots ever).

[@gerotop]

+Kritacul But did he make a mistake though? Nick would never have found the bomb without Chester's tip, and who do you think this mysterious Chester who never shows his face is? I may be wrong, but I think Chester is Clyde himself. He wanted to teach Nick to be a better person and at the end, he succeeded. He wanted him to find the bomb and the fact that Clyde smiles when he realises the bomb is under his bed reinforces that.

[@joet8862]

Nick takes a deal with the guy who HE KNEW did the killing, just for the sake of his career. The real murderer of the two goes free while Nick moves up in the world. I think he was the bad guy of this movie, not Clyde

[@Mentok211]

MILES O'BRIAN DOES NOT LIKE TO BE CALLED NAMES!

[@TheBellman]

Yeah you'd think that he of all people would know how to use a wrench.

[@mattymatt1987]

Being a father myself, I saw him as a plain hero.

[@DivineKnight_115]

I love how he was gonna come quietly in return for a decent bed and they said no. Yet they will allow murderers and drug dealers to walk free if they simply snitch on who’s at the top or give them a good lead to that person at the top.

[@peoplewatchingwithava340]

"That's what wrenches are for, dumb ass" Is my vote for the "funniest line in a serious movie award" of the decade.

[@oolooo]

1:45 "Counselor ... can you please tell Chief O'Brien that I want an Autograph ? .Dude is a Darts legend ."

[@jacepresley5975]

I like when Jamie Fox says bravo, and for a few seconds, Gerard looks up at him like, “Was I wrong about him? Maybe he has changed over the years.” You can tell that did catch him off guard, but he soon realizes that he still believes the system isn’t wrong

[@carlbates9110]

He could’ve also been faking his reaction, because the sympathetic gesture was likely just an act to make him more likely to confess (he did hate Darby, but still cared more about his job).

[@kylev.1163]

Clyde reminds me alot of the Joker from TDK in this movie.

[@JBBaird715]

I was thinking the same thing... "You see I'm not crazy, I'm just ahead of the curve"

Good movie. Hated the ending

[@randymiller3949]

I love this movie...i watch it every time it comes on. I was rooting for Clyde with every kill...i just wish the ending would've been different I wish Clyde would've won in the end & gotten to his REVENGE on the Distric Attorney.

[@saulius2]

Rumors are that Jamie Foxx protested ending from the original script. So it got rewritten. Not sure about the source now.

[@spontaneousbagpacker9447]

It seems like everyone is on Clyde's side and disregarding the ending of movie, but I am one of the few who actually liked it as it made perfect sense. Allow me to be the devil's advocate:- Clyde, as the movie proceeded, became a megalomaniac. His killing of Darby and his partner was justified. Hell, his killing of the judge is also, to some level bearable. But he really went over the line when he killed those attorneys. How, you might ask? Let's go over it one by one:- 1. Killing of Darby's attorney:- That lawyer did nothing wrong as he was just trying to defend his client. News flash, that's what lawyers do! Now you might say why is he defending such a low like mofo, well, it's his right to have attorney and if not this lawyer then someone else. And no, the lawyer cannot fuck over his own client as it would set a very bad rep for himself in the law work. 2. All those attorneys working for Jamie Foxx's character:- Those people were literally doing there job, nothing else. They were working on the evidence available and nothing more. Yes, I agree that his wife and child are murdered by that guy, but you and I know this, not those people. They might have dealt with cases like this many a times and they cannot be biased. They have to act according to the evidence and proofs. Now you might say why did they didn't go to trial, but as it was mentioned in the movie that trial might result into both of them walking out free, which nobody wants. Any lawyer would have suggested the same thing. There was no question of corruption in it. You might say that Jamie did it to keep his conviction rate high, but so what? It's not like he is doing it JUST for that reason. The former reason mentioned is also a major factor. By the end, Clyde completely lost it by planning to eliminate mayor and a whole bunch of government officials, which was highly unnecessary. His ending was perfect. His staggering victories throughout the movie made him overconfident and in the end when he was sitting on his bed waiting to be burned, he realized that and accepted his defeat. If Clyde was so inclined to bring justice, why not become a justice figure. Why not use his intellect and resources to be the Batman of Philly. Why not kill the actual bad guys instead of killing a bunch of law enforcement officials. Coz, IMO, his bat shit crazy killing spree didn't change the system at all. It definitely had an impact on Jamie Foxx's character, but other then that, people will take him as another psycho who wants to kill a bunch of people and burn the city down, nothing else. His ultimate message got burried under his devilish acts and his end was justified. I rest my case.

“You might wanna cancel the rest of the week because you’re gunna be busy , sit down 🪑 “ 😂

[@kirahoff8380]

A man who knows the law. That of governance of our nation, and zero tolerance of any violations, is very accurate. It isn't what you KNOW, it's what you can PROVE. 10 years is a long time to plan for justice. While I didn't agree of this characters violence of retribution, the stunning capabilities of dedication of righting a wrong is powerful. Enjoyed the movie.

[@Sumumabitch78]

It´s so silly...Nick is a seasoned prosecutor,97% conviction rate..and he doesn´t know what a confession Means or how it sounds? A 6 year old would react and say-But...Clyde never confessed. Great entertainment on 1st view,nonsensical underestemation of the audience on every other.

[@alexanderjakubsen2198]

The prosecutor is so fucking incompetent here its embarrassing. If I were Jamie Foxx I would have refused this role.

[@alexanderjakubsen2198]

But you're not Jamie Foxx. You're a nobody on a computer criticizing a product that you are entirely incapable of creating yourself. I'm sure Jamie Foxx will take your not to heart.

I would’ve loved this movie if they at least had a after credit scene where Jamie Foxx’s character got a note or a letter that said “See you later Nick”

what a fantastic scene from a great movie.

[@ardencharlessantos1880]

I love everything about this movie... except it's ENDING... 🤦‍♂️

[@911naimplate]

Have seen this movie over 30 times and am a big fan but there is only one thing that bothers me after each viewing. I never feel that true justice has been served. Nick was 100% responsible for setting Clyde into motion and Nick got off “Scott Free” in the end. In the last scene, he should have died in the cell with Clyde, that would have set things right. Instead the movie ends with Nick celebrating his daughter's recital while Clyde, his wife and daughter are all dead. One can only hope that if there was ever a sequel, that somehow Clyde figured out a way out of that cell in the last minute and that Nick will eventually pay for his arrogance. This movie leaves you wanting for more “JUSTICE”!!!!!!
