Best part is the only way they stopped him was by breaking the same laws they were trying to hold him responsible with.
I absolutely hate the ending it's a perfect movie up until then.
agreed. The hollywood obsession with "the system cannot be torn down" destroys to many good films. They were doing re-writes of the ending right up to the last minute, and it screams of producer interference for "optics" reasons.
A much better ending would have involved the city, the state, or even the whole country being thrown into a social a political change
this movie points out the fact that "Justice" doesn't really exists 75% of the time.... it's nothing more than a Word to be thrown around/out to make it sound like it's a good outcome towards a Victory or getting a win without the risk of shame in losing a case.
~ "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..."

If you liked law abiding citizen. Then you'll probably love Inside Man
He would have rigged the garage with IEDs and boobytraps.
The best ending would've been Clyde living out the remainder of his life on a tropical island somewhere.
Jamie Foxx cut a deal to keep a no loss conviction rate. He didn't consult Butler of the deal, he was supposed to let him decide win or lose. So Jamie became the target of his rage.
In criminal proceedings the DAs office is a representation of the state. While they work hand in hand with the victim in order to collect all the information of the case and to let the victim know the most up to date information on the case the victim has no say in the proceedings on which the case is being taken for action. The DA while trying to reach a fair outcome for the victim their overall responsibility is to the state and work for the best interest of the public. So in murder cases the victim has no say on how the state wishes to move forward with the case.
@@dsmitty4228 represent the state in the event of Charges not being made by the victim. If the victim does press charges the victim hand and hand with the D.A.
The D.A. consults with victim because it must be fair to the one bringing charges. Taking it out of the hands of the victim causes other victims of Crimes not to come forward. Knowing the person that really done it is sitting next to you on the train or airplane. Unjust!
@@BruceJohnson-om5kl in criminal cases victims do not press charges the charges are brought by the victims to the state and the state prosecutes on behalf of the victims but the state is the representative in all criminal offenses including murder. So once the victim has reported the crime the state takes over in bringing the case to court and all legal proceedings. So once the crime has been reported and it’s being tried as a criminal case the victim cannot choose to rescind charges made against the defendant. Only the state can.
@@dsmitty4228 Victims do not bring charges but they have a say in if they want to file charges with a crime committed against them.
Only if they refuse to file charges will the city or state can file it as a voice for the people. The State represents the people not themselves.
@@BruceJohnson-om5kl yes that’s correct that’s what I was saying when they file those charges and it’s filed as a criminal charge the file gets sent to the DA’s office and they file the criminal proceedings. The state then is the representative on that case as the prosecution. Once the charges have been filed they can’t be rescinded by anyone except the state in this case. For example if you come home and you find that your significant other has been murdered, and you call the police. At the point that the police were called and you reported the crime you have effectively brought the charges to the state. The police will conduct their investigation and the DA office will upon a suspect being brought to court as the criminal in this case will be conducting all the legal proceedings in the case. The victim can no longer rescind the report because they found out that it was their child that killed them. And the victim can’t ask for a lighter or a heavier sentence due to that fact either because in criminal cases it’s the state who is filing the charges on behalf of the victim.
I like the alternative ending on RUclips where he sits down and rings the phone (detonating the bomb in the building which was not found, but before it shows the explosion it cuts to the credits as he looks onwards)
Too bad they ruined the movie with that hollywood garbage the "good guy always win" bs ending...
Yeah I hated that ending
That wasn't the original ending. Jamie Foxx had it changed because he said it would be what the audience wants ( though I have no clue what the original was ).
@@deanromanado5850I always hear that, but also hear that Foxx said he never did that. I'm not sure what's true. Haven't taken the time to research it.
Definitely agree with that ending being horrible and makes zero sense.
@@caddyguy5369There’s never been any evidence to support that theory. Pretty sure someone just made it up and it caught fire somehow.
This could've been one of the best movies ever if they didn't Hollyweirded up the ending and let Jamie Foxx's character win!
Great movie. Terrible ending...the bad guy won (Jaime Foxx)
Yeah, I heard the ending was the way it was due to Jamie Foxx's EGO.
The only GOOD thing about that ending is that the "hero" (Clyde) successfully "reformed" the "Villain" (Nick) and made him see the error of his ways.
Otherwise, the ending sucked!
@@sharkdentures3247As much as I'd prefer to see Clyde alive and win, still the ending to this movie made Clyde win. Jaime Foxxs character had to go down to his level and break the rules and laws to stop Clyde. Kinda like what Joker did to Harvey in The Dark Knight. He took the White knight snd brought him down to "our" level.
there’s a video you can look up to see the alternate where Clyde wins completely and his bomb destroyed city hall
The ending was positive: Jaime Foxx's character cared more about Justice than his own career at the end. What can you hate about that?
@@fairshareofdrownedsoulsby giving him the killswitch? granted he saved the lives in the movie, however, he took the roles of judge and executioner under his own ego, then, commited quite a bit of destruction himself I guarentee wouldn't have gone as smoothly as shown in the movie, such as the explosion he resetup in the state prison..
The state does have to send a representative in cases that end in the death penalty to make visual confirmation that indeed the person who was sentenced to death was carried out and that is was carried out in the methods the state has approved of. So that what happens in this movie even though most likely never happens (can’t say for sure) is prosecuted, for it is still murder.
This movie depicts the way the"Justice system"really is...Prosecutors,judges,public pretenders and police are all buddies and members of the same club,social groups, etc.... The faster they make a deal,or take a plea bargain the quicker they get paid and thats all they are worried about...
Part of the reason I think this movie doesn't sit well with a lot of people is that it's hard to clarify who the protagonist and antagonist are by the end. Nick is written to be an anti-hero, but by the end of the movie, a lot of people are still convinced he was just straight up the antagonist, whereas Clyde is supposed to be the antagonist, but a lot of people vibe with his vigilante justice when like 90% of the movie's characters are scum bags or doing something corrupt.
Lawyers? District attorney. I’m sure I’m the 1000th comment saying that. Yeah most DA’s are lawyers but their job is district attorney or staff of the da
Please i recommend you react to :
🔥 *The Bone Collector* (1999) _/starring _*_Denzel Washington_*_ & _*_Angelina Jolie_*
🔥 *Seven (Se7en)* (1995) _/starring _*_Morgan Freeman_*_ & _*_Brad Pitt_*
_Hannibal Lecter Trilogy_ (Anthony Hopkins)
- *The Silence of the Lambs* (1991) _/starring _*_Jodie Foster_*
- *Hannibal* (2001) _/ _*_Julianne Moore_*_ , _*_Gary Oldman_*_ & _*_Ray Liotta_*
- *Red Dragon* (2002) _/starring _*_Edward Norton_*
BONUS TRACK (Fast & Furious STYLE)
🔥 *De4th Race* (2008) _/starring _*_Jason Statham_*_ & _*_Tyrese Gibson_*
🔥 *xXx* (2002) _/starring _*_Vin Diesel_*_ & _*_Samuel L. Jackson_*
🔥 *Gone in 60 Seconds* (2000) _/starring _*_Nicolas Cage_*_ & _*_Angelina Jolie_*
Nick is involved because it's affecting and dealing with the people he knows and cares about. He's also a prosecutor, the head prosecutor and they work coding with the police. They don't normally investigate but he is involved. His own family and friends are in jeopardy. So he's more involved, also is a movie
avoid movie trailers like the plague they always ruin the movie...this movie was a masterpiece with exception of the ending...the lawyer flat out murdered Clyde and had no consequences from it. Clyde says he leant to not make deals with murderers anymore but he didn't learn the lesson that he can't take the law into his own hands and become the executioner too.
Great Reaction Guy's To One Of My All Time Favorite Movie's
This movie was the perfect demonstration of how someone from a position of self-righteousness could do enough bad things that they become the bad guy.
18:48 Philadelphia, Sansom street, there are a lot of buildings around.
I haven't checked, but if you have not seen Mr. Brooks, do it. Great movie.
21:39 , geez.. hope Sam never says she doesn't like me
you guys pick excellent films to react to i must say
I'd still love to see you react to Boardwalk Empire but it's a series so I would also like to offer 'Runaway Jury' for your consideration as the title implies it as all set around a trial and what goes on behind the scenes.
Some people Talk s.hit about the Justice system when they are Happy and safe🤦🏾♂️😬...
If you guys enjoyed Law Abiding Citizen you should check out Unthinkable. Really thought provoking movie that blurs the line between right and wrong, when the ends justify the means, what would you do when the stakes are unbelievably high?
shaking the hand was a lead for the father to seek revenge against the lawyer...
The alternate ending is much better!
wiat, what alternative ending?!
Try The Society of the Snow!! Amazing movie...
you guys should watch the movie "the score" I think you both will really like it
18:55 now that your rewatching this? what happened to the FIRST TIME title?
I almost had to tune out after that disturbing cello performance.
This movie gave off the punisher and the red hood vibes
That film was awesome but sadly had what I call a 'Pay it forward' ending which is the award I give to movies where I thought the ending sucked. If you've seen the movie Pay it forward you'll understand.
React to man on fire if you guys havent seen it
Awesome reaction/ can you please watch a movie called A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT.
If you like this then check out fracture with anthony hopkins.
This is also one of my favorite films. It's just so poignant. This film is an examination of what in political philosophy is called "The Law and The Exception" or more simply, the state of exception. The state of exception represents just that, an exception. It stands as an unordinary situation that calls for a temporary exemption from the standard policy, which is typically the in place "rule of law". Butler's character is a personification of the State of Exception, while Fox's character is a representation of the rule of law itself.
The whole idea is this: There are numerous occasions, more than we like to think, more than we like to admit, in which it is clearly obvious that the state or the powers that have the authority to either punish or support, should do so even if it means circumventing itself, circumventing the law. Butler's character is a murderer, of whom the law is totally and completely aware that he is certainly guilty, yet they continue to make deals with him, they set him free, ect. As Clyde says, "Apparently I just killed two people, and you were gonna let me walk right out that door."
The system isn't imperfect. As Clyde says, it's broken. It's broken because there is a religious adherence to the so called golden rule of law, which is that "everyone is innocent until proven guilty." The reality is there is no golden rule, and if changes and exceptions cannot be made, and the system remains strict and ridged instead of evolving, it's not going to function like we need it to, like it should. The fact of the matter is not everyone should be viewed as equal in the eyes of the law, because not all crimes are equal. Murder is not the same as drug possession, and if you are accused of committing murder, well, as Fox's character says, "Fuck his civil rights." When you choose to live in society and adhere to it's rules you sign a contract. Frankly, part of that contract should be that if you are implicated in a violent crime like murder or rape, your civil rights go out the fucking window. Some people say that's draconian, I say that's fair. Treating everyone as equal no matter the crime, the way it's done now, is absolutely not fair, and it's certainly not moral.
The religious adherence to "everyone is innocent until proven guilty" is THE reason why so many guilty people dont get punished, and why so many innocent people get imprisoned or worse, executed. Sometimes, when you know, when everyone knows, regardless of whether or not it's provable, those people should be locked the fuck up. On another note, the system we have already doesn't treat the rich and the poor like equals. You commit something like fraud and owe millions of dollars, if you can't pay it, you go to prison. If rich and famous people get convicted of that, and they can't pay it for whatever reason - literally nothing happens to them. So regardless of whether or not what the film suggests is better, something certainly needs to change. The whole point is that situations where exceptions should be made exist all the time, all around us, but because the state, the law, is the only authority to declare a state of exception, it let's people suffer and die as it decides for the sake of it own authority instead of for the sake of the people, when and where to make that declaration.
Great reaction. Sam does anyone tell you you look like melanie lynskey?
Hey Sam & Tristan - really enjoy your reactions. And Sam...at the start, I was like DAMN....what happened to your right arm??? There is a shadow that covers it that makes it look like you have a NASTY bruise on it. Took me a while before I saw that the shadow moved as you moved, so I was relieved to realize it wasn't a bruise.
Have you seen the movie the usual suspects?
Have u ever heard about... The most amazing historical movie..... Sardar udham. 2021... Movie????
And all because a lawyer wanted to keep his 96% win rate.
Nick learned nothing. Still making deals until he doesn't have to. The ending was horrible. Clyde was too smart to go down that way.
It’s a great movie why did they ruin it by having the bad guy kill the good guy
Great movie, although I think Clyde should've killed Nick in the end!!! Good luck with your channel you guys, you seem really sweet!!! Cheers! 👍
I wanted clyde to win.
Put your children first and don't make deals with the devil.
Such a bad ending
This movie upsets me so much. Don't get me wrong, its an AMAZING movie, but Jaime Foxx is the bad guy in this. He doesn't deserve to win. Butler should've taken them all out.
Everyone talking about how they hated the ending and ik i will get some hate for this the ending was perfect those who disagree is out of arrogance and/or ignorance you missed the point and he was trying to do
You’re also disagreeing out of arrogance for disagreeing with those that hated the ending
@@josephalbrecht434 lol ig you agree with ppl that didnt pay attention but nice try objectivly if you paid attention things ended like they shouldve but of course im probably wasting my breathe on someone that cant realize that
@@codyturner9741 there you go being arrogant again bc you think your opinion is correct…the ending plays both ways for those that hated the ending and those that loved the ending. Your opinion doesn’t not constitute with being right
I'm sure you wouldn't be thinking your defense attorney is a slime ball if you happen to ever need one and just because he represented these guys doesn't mean he should die because everyone has a right to be defended in court because you're innocent till proven guilty
I really like Jamie Fox but I hated his character in this movie.
Here’s to another first time, not so first time watching reaction. Y’all reactors gotta stop with this. Deceiving audiences for views
Foxx's character was arrogant. Clyde stood up and made a point. I can't hate Clyde but easy to hate Foxx.
Now I'm no expert, but I believe that having the emotional range of a wooden plank is not good for a reaction channel. Looking at you on the left there...
The ending was the only bad part. Clyde should have won.
This was a great film ruined by the ending, Clyde should have won, he should have brought the diseased system down. Other than that, a great film.
Thought this movie was lame. Had potential but making Dad the bad guy no matter what was stupid
I haven't seen this movie in a while! Loved it when it first came out. When Sam says "that was Terrible.....The cello, not the man dying" Lmao, that got me. Both of your senses of humor are great! Idk if you do requests at all but if you haven't seen "Everything,Everywhere, All at once" It's an awesome movie!
Fox ruined the movie, he cried like a baby until he got his way. He didn't want to lose at the end so he made them change the script
Worst ending to a movie ever !!
This is one of those gray area cases where grief and trauma broke Clyde (understandably) & he had a particular skill set that was brutal for the people he chose to turn his anger towards.
Obviously I'm just piling on but the ending was ACTUALLY meant to end differently but the studio couldn't live with it 😢
This movie's ending was so cheap and a cop-out.
Good film....crap ending. making him out to be the criminal.
Great movie, one of my favourites as well.
Another slightly forgotten gem is The Game starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. 🔥🔥🔥
Lol all these try hard edgelords whining about not getting an actual bs "dark/subvert your expectations" ending. It's like none of y'all even watched the movie. Clyde had absolutely nothing else to lose after losing his family, while Nick did. Before reuniting with his family, Clyde wanted to at least do one good thing by giving Nick a real chance at redemption, which he ultimately succeeded in doing, he literally reformed Nick, for the better. It makes total sense that Clyde died in the end and reformed Nick gets to live out the life that Clyde would've had with his own family. Like wtf were y'all expecting, Clyde continuing on like this and becoming the Punisher? Lmao in that case go watch that marvel "movie", something a little more adjusted to the level of your tiny brains.
Finally! someone making sense
I didn't get the impression Nick changed one bit. He broke the rules to win against Clyde, but there's nothing to indicate he won't keep practicing law the exact same way.
Yeah i liked the movie too but the ending sucked
Too small!
Dd😅😅😅
STUPID ENDING
The fact that Tristan have seen the movie would normally make me skip the reaction... But let's be real here.. Law Abiding Citizen is a FACKING masterpiece! :D
Dude you Rolex are so fucking distractingly mmmmmoah
I like tou chanel!
They ruined the movie with that ending, pure propaganda.
They ruined the movie with that fuckin climax
Ending suck.
