[@richardclingempeel6111]

Clyde wanted him to stop compromising and making deals with criminals. That's why he kept giving them the opportunity to not making deals with him, they kept failing and compromising with him.

[@sharkdentures3247]

1,000%! I think that is how Clyde was able to morally justify his actions. He set it ALL up like a long corridor with a Door at the end that leads to a horrible death. But ALL along the corridor are Exit doors on each wall. All Nick had to do was make the "right" choice & he would walk out one of those exits. I also TOTALLY believe that IF Nick had NEVER initially offered a "deal" (and accepted a "loss" of a court case) Clyde would have abandoned his plans & it would have ended there. Which I why (IMO) he gets that evil smile on his face when Nick asks him, "What do you want?" in the interrogation room! He is probably thinking, "I see. You have NOT reformed/ changed/ repented, at ALL! You are STILL what I HATE about the legal system. OK, Plan: Destruction, it is.".

[@merchillio]

That’s the thing that bothers me: he didn’t make the deal about releasing him by 6am and Clyde still killed everyone. Not compromising didn’t change anything

[@Jeff-v6v]

@@merchillio The only reason he didnt take the deal was the bad image it would have given him to release him. If it was benenficial for his conviction rate or image, he would have made the deal.

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.

This movie its Nicks ego that got everyone killed, once Clyde started killing. He was so worried about his perfect conviction rate. He couldn't see that he was basically putting everyone around him in danger. All the way until Jonas got killed he wouldn't let go of that ego. Nicks character made me mad.

What would you have preferred the ending to be?

[@averymurray4722]

You are Right.I have read other comments concerning the ending,and everybody's comment is Right!

[@billthomas478]

The rumor has always been that Jaime Foxx threw a fit over the original ending, which had Clyde killing him last. He felt his character should win. It doesn't work well, because his character didn't learn anything after all of this and ended up repeatedly breaking the law and technically committing murder, without suffering any consequences whatsoever, just to beat him.

[@theblackboxpodcastshow1791]

All Gerard Butler's character wanted was effort. That's what he said to Jamie's Character after he killed his co workers in the cars. If he had tried to convict them for Murder 1 and lost, he would have been happy with that but because Jamie's character was worried about his win/loss ratio, that's what Gerrard had issues with and that's why he had an issue with The Judge, it's a flaw because their are safeguards in the law so they won't get the wrong guy but that's flawed as well. But in my opinion, that's the motivation of Gerard's character.

[@OptimusPrimeribs]

He was motivated by being a psychopath and killed several innocent ppl.

I don't think Clyde would have killed Nick. That being said, I would think that if Nick hadn't stopped him and not appeased Clyde in some way, that Clyde would have taken his family out to put him in the same hell he was in.

[@PromptCriticalJello]

IMO, Clyde was trying to teach Nick a lesson. He wanted Nick to understand that the legal system is not the justice system it should be. I don't think that Nick was on the list. Clyde wanted Nick to understand the failure of the system.....to act outside the law (which he did in the end) would prove that Clyde did what had to be done to find justice.

Clyde just wanted a reckoning. To teach Nick that the justice system is flawed, and that everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions. He said it verbatim in the film. He already had justice 20 minutes in. He already killed Ames and Darby. Everything else was a lesson.

[@taylorpack7705]

This movie is very good until the end. They should have ended it with Gerard butler winning.

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

I think he did win. He killed everybody but Jamie, but Jamie is forever changed. He won't just be making deals that only benefit himself and serve no justice. He will listen to the families of the victims and do what they want and what's right. The impact on him was like dropping a rock on an ocean. It creates a ripple that will eventually be felt everywhere. I also don't think Clyde wanted to live after he finished anyway.

[@billthomas478]

That's how the script was originally written. Clyde was supposed to get him last.

[@taylorpack7705]

@@Xfactor444-x4n I get that but my issue with the film is it never gets you to change sides. Like even though Gerard butler is killing people and he’s supposed to be the bad guy you still side with him throughout the entire movie and because of that the ending doesn’t work for me. I think what they should have done is had something to where at the very end he’s trying to make his daughters show they should have ended it with Jamie foxx noticing a bomb inside the violin so when she hit a certain note it blew up or something and had Jamie scream “NO!” And the film cuts to black.

[@andrewmoss3681]

Great reaction. The whole point that Clyde is trying to teach is simple. Do NOT make deals with guilty people. ESPECIALLY when you know that they are the main culprit. If they had just said, "No" to the mattress deal, none of this could've happened. Clyde would be in the main block, so under 24/7 surveillance. The INSTANT they make that 1st deal, his plan is able to work. They had mountains of evidence about him. But they took the easy route out.

Another point was that to find out what was going on in the properties they had to break in. They had to go outside the system to catch him. Everything they found was "fruit of the poisonous tree" and couldn't be used in a court of law. His point of the system being broken was proven by them.

[@SummerSolstice621]

This movie is very similar to a real life home invasion turned un-aliving in my state. It made national news in the early 2000’s. The husband survived but his wife and two young daughters did not . The two men who committed the crime were sentenced to death but the state abolished the death penalty and they’re now serving life in prison. I always think of it when I see this movie. 😢❤

[@ninjunc]

Great reaction as usual. One of the best movies with the worst endings. Not because Clyde died (I think that is the only way he gets peace), but that Nick had no consequences for prioritizing "wins" over justice and convenience over truth. He even became a criminal (breaking and entering and assault on a prisoner, then committing murder at the end). He did the things he condemned Clyde for and got away with it.

[@Flooding474]

People hate on the ending but Clyde died in front of that courthouse when he watched Darby go free. It was bad enough that he had to witness his family destroyed and that could have broken him on its own. The tragedy that he suffered broke him beyond repair and there was no stopping him from killing anyone even tangentially related to the “justice system.” Him living would not be a good thing since he was basically a rabid dog with an extensive knowledge on how to kill.

[@Flooding474]

❤️ the reaction 😊

[@jac1207]

Think of it this way: What happens when you absolutely wrong and take away everything from an "attack dog" of the government, who has been the brains of countless very shady complex successful assassinations? That "attack dog" is going to bite back. I'm more confused on why Clyde didn't pull strings in the deep government to affect the court case. But for as intelligent as he was, he was too naive to believe fully in the justice system.

[@huney8cocoa]

It's interesting that in the end Clyde technically still won. He may have died, but it's because Nick and the cops moved the explosive to Clyde's cell, which in turn made them break the law. Criminal or not, Clyde still has rights and they not only took the law into their own hands, but basically committed multiple crimes including offing Clyde, destruction of property, and endangering the lives of others in the prison. Even if they cleared that level of the prison, there's no way to know if the blast could have affected other levels, and I doubt they could have evacuated the whole prison. Realistically, Nick and the cops should have been charged or at the very least lost their jobs, but this is a movie so they have to have a happy ending. Great movie though.

In the original script Butler was meant to win. Foxx kicked up enough fuss about it that they rewrote the end Clyde was originally going to succeed in bombing city hall and escape after killing Jamie's character as well. I kinda agree with Jamie Foxx that that ending wouldn't have much going for it as what's really the point. Having it end with Jamie's character learning to go outside the law and the true meaning of justice is a better resolution

Clyde existed for 10 years trying to get justice. He succeeded and he was done. He went to his family like the end of Gladiator. It was a great ending so long as you understand that he did not lose to Nick. he played him the whole way until he learned his lesson.

I was introduced to this movie by my mom because she loves Gerard's movies and I love that Clyde pretty much just wanted for the lawyer to try in his case. Even if he would've lost at least he would've tried and that's all he really wanted.

It's funny you bring up throwing gum out the window 😂 I think throwing gum on a road is great. It helps keep the roads driveability

Alot of people love this movie but hate the ending. Myself included. It's a great a movie about a justice system that is horrible. So many get away with things sadly. If he would have detonated the bomb at the end under the people, it would have been a great ending message of "Screw the justice system". Granted most of us realized it was alot of senseless killing of course. And honestly even if he had taken them all out, its not like the system would change. So really his efforts were pointless. At least outside of killing the guys that killed his family. He's definitely an anti-hero. He can understand his motives, even if you wouldn't do it yourself. And at the same time you can sort of understand the justice system thining he went to far. Such a double edged sword. But this is the system we live in sadly.

People act like Gerard is the good guy and Jamie is the bad guy, but they're both neither. They're both men trying to do what's best for their family, and in doing so, they both sacrifice their morals.

Nick did what was best for him. His family was barely an afterthought

This movie blew my mind in theaters. My friends didn't enjoy it very much... I did tho. The only thing I would change, is IMO Clyde woulf have had a contingency plan in case he failed at any point. He was a genius after all.... I think he should have at least gotten one over on Jamie Foxx at the end, and won the war. Jamie's character was egotistical, and ultimately, corrupt. He brike the law to enforce the law, same as Clyde. Hence the title "Law Abiding Citizen".... There is no clear good guy or bad guy in this story at all. That's the beauty of the story as told by the writer.
