Years ago I had been attacked by a woman, who I did not know, at a restaurant. When I went to court, the prosecutor would not let me testify or any witnesses, or submit CCTV footage that the restaurant provided. They claimed that it would prejudicial against the defendant. I found out later that the prosecutor had previously worked with the defendant because she was a child psychologist for the school district in the town where I was attacked. They tried to force me to say that I made it all up, or else I could be put in jail. While this prosecutor was trying to brow beat me before court, my lawyer showed up and freaked out. They got in a screaming match which was hilarious, but then the prosecutor's boss showed up and made her do her job. I won. The prosecutor got fired.
As much as this film rightly points out some of the flaws in the justice system, the part I think that it misses is that, more often than not, prosecutors are prone to abuse their power and a few criminals occasionally getting off on technicalities is the price we pay to avoid authoritarian prosecutors and police being a terror to the innocent. I’m glad to hear that the prosecutor’s boss was on the level in your case, I’ve known people who have been wrongly imprisoned for years due to the opposite being the case.
Part of the genius of his plan is that nobody was looking for Clyde during his campaign--everybody thought that he was already in jail, and so he was literally the last person they were looking for on the outside. Also, while a lot of the movie seems unrealistic, the cellphone bomb, assassination robot, and delayed charges in the gas tanks are all things that the Mossad used for famous assassinations, and so they aren't all that unrealistic.
Not unrealistic at all. One small iron plate put inside the phone with 1 gram of semtex placed inside. Rewire a couple things. Bam. The plate directs the blast from the semtex and it's basically like a shotgun shell pressed to your head. Easier then you'd think. Same with the drone. That's an EOD bomb disposal unit. Remotely controlled from......a larger distance than you'd think. Fully wired weapon kits and modules can 100% be implemented on these. Even that short range emp weapon it used.....that's real too. God i miss Afghanistan. Lol.
@@newbdestroyer9997 Yeah, that was my point. What you describe is effectively what Mossad did to kill the bomb maker Yahya Ayyasha. They called, he answered, and they detonated the charge. This is the first use of that tech (1996), but I believe that it's been used several times after that as well. Also, it's less a shotgun shell and more a tiny shaped breaching charge.
Anyone else kinda wish Gerard Butler had one more trick up his sleeve after he died. And just when Jamie was finally spending time with his family it was all ripped away from him and they die before his eyes so he really got to experience the same pain Garard felt?
@@deannatowns2546 I dont think it was about his wrong moves. It was about sending a message to the justice system. I like how it ended because he appreciates that Nick finally followed through with justice rather than go by the book. He can finally go out in peace knowing that there was justice for his family.
When done right (like THIS movie did) these "dark vengeance" style movies, TV shows, books, etc. REALLY tap into a usually unexplored side of our human psyche and does it in a VERY compelling way! While, by most "civilized" standards, Clide is clearly the "villain" here, almost EVERYONE I've seen ROOTS FOR him! (as do I) And wished Clide would've won & gotten away! In the Inspirational sense, it also shows what a truly "motivated", FOCUSED person can accomplish in 10 years! (Becoming nigh unstoppable in their pursuit.) In a world where we are constantly being told that "we CAN'T" change/ affect anything!
So there’s a theory that Clyde did actually win, he created the most ruthless District Attorney ever. Clyde would not stop until Nick killed him, the theory revolves around Sarah’s boyfriend who we never see, he was Clyde faking the boyfriend role, he actually gave Nick everything to find his hideaway. He used a napalm weapon which would not have taken out the mayor because it would have only taken out the floor it was on, I saw this in a video of a bomb expert, he should have used C4 which in his hideaway he had tons of bricks of so it was no mistake he planned to use a weapon that would only kill him. He put a 30 second timer so Nick could escape himself and he knew Nick would put it in his cell. It’s how he planned to die. He planned everything and made an incorruptible DA who wouldn’t care about a conviction rate more than his own family. It was not a flaw in his plan, he smiled at the end because his plan worked flawlessly and could die in peace because he really did by personally installing Nick as the most powerful person in the justice system. Also one thing I noticed you say, you said said Clyde was his client. In the American courts, prosecutors are government employees who go for higher positions through conviction rates, in the UK I believe I read the victim or victim’s family are the Client which I personally feel is a better system for the families because they are then represented and the families have some say in where they want to proceed where in the American system the prosecution represents “the people” not the victims.
That is absolutely what he was trying to do. And I really appreciated how far-sighted Clyde was depicted, and consistently at that. A move like that would have been exactly like him. For him, it wasn't enough to destroy the monsters that wronged him, he wanted to leave the world less safe than ever for every monster out there. And by making Nick into the ruthless crusader he knew he could be, that was all he needed. I also believe that there's a strong chance Clyde survived the explosion and planned to escape after. Just so he could do the same thing somewhere else.
Yeah our legal system in Canada is just as messed as the US... Currently there's a case going on where this girl (From another town) went on a bender, drove drunk and crashed into this house. She hit a gas line...the house exploded as well as the house next to it. This was 2 years ago and my friend lived 1 block away...he was sleeping and the explosion (again 1 block away) rocked his house, waking him & his son up. The cops were running around trying to get people to evacuate. Everyone was in shock. Firefighters didn't know if it was contained or if it could cause a chain effect with gas lines or fire spreading. My friend said he was in shock, checking on his son and trying to figure out what happened. Cop bangs on door says he has "one minute" to get his stuff and get out. They wouldn't let him change because they were worried there'd be another explosion. So he put his house coat on, shoes, grabbed his wallet, keys...him & his son & dog got in his car and they went to the parking lot where the police were directing everyone to. He was basically homeless for 4 days, sleeping on his friend's floor, It was PURE LUCK that the two houses had no one in them. One family was out with friends and the other was on vacation. It's been 2 years, the families just now had their houses rebuilt (the insurance didn't cover enough for furniture or clothes etc). And my friend (along with others I'm sure) has PTSD from that incident. Mostly he's fine but he said any time he hears sirens (even on tv) he gets a panic attack. Some of the other houses had some damage to their roofs and siding from debris. One person in the neighbourhood got injured. Two officers had minor injuries while helping. The girl was charged with impaired driving. She got 3 years. SO NOW guess what? She's suing the place that served her alcohol! She's ALLOWED to sue them! The building was one of those event venues where there's hundreds of people ... so she's blaming them for allowing her to get drunk They're saying it's up to the establishment to monitor her drinking! So not only is she allowed to waste our tax dollars going to court, if she actually wins she gets rewarded for being a sh*tty person! AND if she wins that sets precedent so now every venue that serves alcohol will be afraid of what could happen... One crappy person and it creates a chain effect of crap. WTF And don't even get me started on sexual assault cases. Here people can get MONTHS for traumatizing a person for life. It's so F***ed up
I love this movie! It kept me guessing. I will absolutely rewatch it anytime. First saw Gerard Butler in 'Reign of Fire' with Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey. Another great movie to watch.
I never caught that the daughter just happened to get the video, but it wasn't sent explicitly to her until your comment. I always saw sending the video to the daughter as the one action of Clyde's that was entirely unjustified, and out of character. Now it makes sense. Thanks.
Why is he naked though? lol. He was naked to let the police know right away he wasn't armed. You're on the way to arrest someone who just murdered a guy and cut him into 20 pieces, you might have an itchy trigger finger on your way through the door.
I think you’d like the Accountant, too. I think it’s one of Ben Affleck’s best roles. It had great action scenes and it wasn’t predictable like a lot of movies.
That prison he is in is called (The Roundhouse). It's a holding prison for prisoners who haven't been to trial. They closed it down a couple of years ago. I live just outside of Philadelphia aka (Philly).
My favorite movie, minus the first ten minutes. Von Clauswitz was a German writer who wrote "On War" a book with 2 famous quotes "War is one group, trying to force its beliefs on another group" and "The only way to truly win a war, is to kill every man, woman, child, dog and horse". Im paraphrasing, its been a long time since I read the book.
Kabir! I can't believe you have not seen this movie! It was so good. Lots of surprises . I think I'll go rewatch it. You'll understand when you see what they do to his child. This A.D is an arrogant fool. All he cared about was his plea deal rate! You missed where you fund out who Clyde really is... EX CIA !!
Gerard Butler is so diversely talented! The man can play any role he's given, and is absolutely believable in everything. There was a brief period in my life when I considered going to Law School. I spent time getting to know lawyers and observing in court. I agree, there's no way anyone with a working brain would take a call in court!
I watched this movie in the theaters when it came out. Seeing it again in this reaction, I realized it was violent AF! But maybe not so surprising considering it came out the same decade as torture porn movies like Saw & Hostel, so it wasn’t all that wild lol
I love this movie it would be my favourite film of all time if they hadn't changed the ending if you fancy watching another film similar to this watch a film called 7 days (2010)
@@joaosoares-rr5mj The rumor is that in the original ending Clyde "won" but Jamie Foxx insisted they change the ending to one where Clyde was the one who died at the end. I don't know how true that rumor is.
I have always loved this movie, Big fan of the villain in this particular one. And find Jamie Foxx annoying in everything, with the exception of Horrible Bosses
the lethal injection is 2 sedatives and a poison to calmly put the person to sleep without much pain, they also have 2 people hit a button a piece simultaneously only 1 of which actually triggering the machine with niether knowing if their button is the real 1
There is actually a Director's cut version of this with an different ending (where Butler's character lives, with him later seen on the street and killing a taxi driver in his escape), but they changed the ending because early audiences didn't want the "Bad Guy" to win.
I was so bowled over seeing GERARD BUTLER cry and be anything near a victim in this movie ‼️ Great cat and mouse story, have seen it a few times now. Always enjoyable 👍
Love this movie, and attorneys have been caught answering phone in court seriously. Just another way saying the court system is trash, funny 🤣 how they made a movie showing how messed up our courts are.
Gerard Butler never was the Villain/Bad Guy since his past job was Being the United States Governments license to Kill Think tank guy...Butler's drive was to punish Jamie and get Jamie to fully wake up and understand when you chose to make deals with the devil rather than making deals with the Victim's your as guilty as The Devil that should burn in hell...and Butler's point is to Never Make Deals You Fight To Win No Matter What No Matter The Fear Of Loss
It's so strange that as a victim, your testimony is invalid. Shock and trauma have addled your mind, so _you_ can't be trusted. Even though _you_ were one of the parties involved. Happens all the time in defensive gun use cases. The most cognizant and knowledgeable person in the area gets no credit for their testimony simply because they were involved.
@@JoseDanielZuniga it's justifiable in cases where there is reasonable doubt. But on the other hand you should be able to testify if the case is clear cut.
I remember going to see this in the theater and my wife and our friends were trying to figure out WTF was going on? Who was helping him and all that. Incredible movie. You should check out “The Devils Advocate” with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino. It’s a amazing movie if you’re never seen it
LOL - you never caught on that he was out of the prison the whole time executing the killings. The last scene wasn't an escape attempt. It took him 10 years to acquire the properties, military equipment and make the tunnels to every solitary cell since he didn't know which one, he would be put in. THE ONLY SAD PART OF MOVIE WAS HE DIDN'T KILL JAMIE FOXX AND THAT WEASAL SOMEHOW BEAT CLYDE (THE BRAIN)
Every time I see Jamie Foxx, I think of Collateral with Tom Cruise. Great movie, terrible ending. I always enjoyed Law Abiding Citizen though because I like the idea of a smart "think tank" guy getting revenge. Why did you leave the best part out though? Where the guy said that if he's in jail, it's because he wants to be there.
This is an amazing movie but the end does Annoy me a little bit. Nick (Jamie Foxx) for all intensive purposes is a dirty cop. Yes Clyde is killing people, but other than the crap Nick pulled in the beginning of the movie Nick assaulted Clyde while he was in handcuffs his friend put a gun to his head, he then committed Breaking an entry, and then put everyone at the prison at risk by putting a bomb inside the prison. I love movies that don’t give you A happy ending, although Clydes character is doing wrong at no Point was I actually on Nicks side. Clyde taught Nick a lesson but learning that lesson turned him into a dirty cop.
Wild how they had to violate his rights for them to catch him. Also now that makes them all murders as well were murking him and everyone else in solitary
He got naked because he wanted to make sure he didn't get shot by the police l. He wanted to continue his revenge which he obviously can't if he's killed.
To answer your question why was he naked when the police came. It is because he wanted to show them he had no weapons on him and nowhere to hide any . His whole plan hinged on him going to prison. If they shot him because they thought he had A weapon on him . He would ether be dead or in the hospital. That would have ruined all of it. So he picked the quickest way to show that he was unarmed so they would just arrest him.
Capital murder is applicable when someone dies during the committing of a felony. All parties involved are subject to charges. In the world of this film, he probably got this. Not every state has it.
Don’t blame him at all for the rage. A man can only take so much before they break. Doesn’t justify anything he did, but I understand how you could get there. Rape and murder my family, then give me no justice that feels meaningful… and make excuses? I might break too.
15:55 every reaction i see people ask why he naked^^ bc he dont want to get shot by the police if he is naked they cant say he was reaching for something they thought was a weapon
Every time i watch this movie. It's so weird seeing Christian Stolte playing such an evil, disgusting person like Clarence Darby. I'm so used to seeing him as a nice guy, firefighter - Mouch in the TV show Chicago Fire. Another movie I'd highly recommend is "The Next Three Days" starring Russell Crowe.
10:08 it’s the comparison....... Something so sweet and innocent is happening at the same time as something so brutal. Both scenes are a part of Jaime Fox’s character. Sad part being he DID NOT really have to be there for the execution. So his character decided to watch someone die instead of his daughter’s recital. Also the way the execution is NOT how it’s suppose to be. Either the first or the second injection is suppose to sedate or even just paralyze the inmate. So he DEFINITELY WAS NOT suppose to do that.
This was definitely a great movie. Better than I expected when I first watched it. I’m glad he didn’t get away with it at the end though, because while I was rooting for him initially & sympathize with what caused him to do the things he did, he still went too far and killed other innocent people & became the monster. A tragic story.
I agree, it would've been better if he got away with it. You can thank Jaimie Fox, he was suppose to lose at the end of the movie, but he cried and complained until they changed the script in his favor. Always hated him for that. I think it would've been better if he lost.
Jaime fox does lose at the end of the movie. It zooms on his on his tie at the end. Self tightening tie with a metal cable in it is a call back from earlier in the movie. He was strangled to death at his daughters recital.
I watch your reactions for your reactions. I think most would agree. We've seen the movie and want to see what you think and feel. Pay no mind to those that say you talk too much. You don't.
When I first watched this, I was talking to the screen on how to stop him. When everyone thought he had an accomplice in the prison, I was like "Just transfer him to another prison!". That would have shut down his plan, just not for the reason I thought.
This a great movie with a bad and unrealistic ending. (btw, you don't have to chatter the whole way through it, especially as your mic is much louder than the movie soundtrack).
This movie was so amazing until the last 20 minutes. The last 20 Minutes was stupid no way a ivy league lawyer would have the intelligence to out smart the main Character who was an ex professional SPOOK
10:25 it isn’t what always happens or is supposed to happen but considering a drug is used for the lethal injection everyone’s reaction can be different. there have been cases of people violently convulsing and having to get multiple doses or having to reset the execution. It’s one of the reasons people are against it as even the most “humane” form of execution can mess up and sometimes take hours to fully work.
It doesn't get more humane than lethal injection. People commit suicide by benzodiazepine/barbiturate overdose every single day. And it's one of the most comfortable deaths in the world. Now imagine that, but as you're unconscious your death is expedited by 2 other drugs. Firing squads are messy, you just have to hope the person dies quickly because even headshots aren't THAT fatal when compared to heart or lung shots. Electrocution is even worse, for obvious reasons. And then the Gas Chamber is just silly and unnecessary. It doesn't get much better than lethal injection, death is a mathematical certainty because the dosages are based on height and weight.
Why is he naked? So that the cops can't say he was reaching for a weapon. He's giving them zero opportunity to claim he was resisting.
Apparently we do not watch the same type of porn...

"Is he going to ask for steak & lobster?"
There is actually a Director's cut version of this with an different ending (where Butler's character lives, with him later seen on the street and killing a taxi driver in his escape), but they changed the ending because early audiences didn't want the "Bad Guy" to win.
Not me, I would have preferred the directors cut. I never knew that!
they were WRONG AS FUCK. I left the theater legit pissed he died.
He is only killing those that are corrupt. There were no innocent deaths in this movie, except at the very beginning.
Great movie but BS Ending! Gerard definitely should have come out on top
I was so bowled over seeing GERARD BUTLER cry and be anything near a victim in this movie ‼️ Great cat and mouse story, have seen it a few times now. Always enjoyable 👍
Yes, what a super movie!! Have seen it several times. (Skipping over the gore lol) very well done. 😊
Love this movie, and attorneys have been caught answering phone in court seriously. Just another way saying the court system is trash, funny 🤣 how they made a movie showing how messed up our courts are.
Gerard Butler never was the Villain/Bad Guy since his past job was Being the United States Governments license to Kill Think tank guy...Butler's drive was to punish Jamie and get Jamie to fully wake up and understand when you chose to make deals with the devil rather than making deals with the Victim's your as guilty as The Devil that should burn in hell...and Butler's point is to Never Make Deals You Fight To Win No Matter What No Matter The Fear Of Loss
I love it that you noticed that he didn't confess too. I said the same thing exactly like that.
Love your movie reactions feels like we are absolutely watching it together Keep up the good work
It's so strange that as a victim, your testimony is invalid. Shock and trauma have addled your mind, so _you_ can't be trusted. Even though _you_ were one of the parties involved.
Happens all the time in defensive gun use cases. The most cognizant and knowledgeable person in the area gets no credit for their testimony simply because they were involved.
It's justifiable actually, because then anyone could fabricate a testimony against you and sell themselves as your victim with just a testimony.
@@JoseDanielZuniga it's justifiable in cases where there is reasonable doubt.
But on the other hand you should be able to testify if the case is clear cut.
I remember going to see this in the theater and my wife and our friends were trying to figure out WTF was going on? Who was helping him and all that. Incredible movie.
You should check out “The Devils Advocate” with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino. It’s a amazing movie if you’re never seen it
I loved that movie too. Nothing is better than a revenge movie. That's why we all love the old Dirty Harry and Charles Bronson movies.🤣
Team Clyde 100%
One of my fav movie but I ain’t on the side of Jamie . Great movie greetings from France 🇫🇷
"Boondock Saints" maaaaaaan 💜
My top 3 favorite movie of all time.
I think you will love it. Tellin ya, you won't be disappointed sweetheart lol
LOL - you never caught on that he was out of the prison the whole time executing the killings. The last scene wasn't an escape attempt. It took him 10 years to acquire the properties, military equipment and make the tunnels to every solitary cell since he didn't know which one, he would be put in. THE ONLY SAD PART OF MOVIE WAS HE DIDN'T KILL JAMIE FOXX AND THAT WEASAL SOMEHOW BEAT CLYDE (THE BRAIN)
That looks like a model replica of Leonardo Davinci’s flying device he designed.
Gerard Butler was so good in this. I was so pissed at the crappy ending.
Every time I see Jamie Foxx, I think of Collateral with Tom Cruise. Great movie, terrible ending. I always enjoyed Law Abiding Citizen though because I like the idea of a smart "think tank" guy getting revenge. Why did you leave the best part out though? Where the guy said that if he's in jail, it's because he wants to be there.
i loved hearing your prospective bro, especially as a former paralegal. keep it up.
This is an amazing movie but the end does Annoy me a little bit. Nick (Jamie Foxx) for all intensive purposes is a dirty cop. Yes Clyde is killing people, but other than the crap Nick pulled in the beginning of the movie Nick assaulted Clyde while he was in handcuffs his friend put a gun to his head, he then committed Breaking an entry, and then put everyone at the prison at risk by putting a bomb inside the prison. I love movies that don’t give you A happy ending, although Clydes character is doing wrong at no Point was I actually on Nicks side. Clyde taught Nick a lesson but learning that lesson turned him into a dirty cop.
Wild how they had to violate his rights for them to catch him. Also now that makes them all murders as well were murking him and everyone else in solitary
Great movie; great reaction.
If you want another straight up revenge movie, I'd recommend Tarantino's Kill Bill pts. 1 and 2.
Omg yes
15:53 - took me a few watches, but he is naked to make sure nobody shoots him under suspicion of something being concealed.
loved your reaction man , its an unrated classic . Great harsh story . I subscribed .
The Van Gogh picture behind you is my favourite of his
"Open Air Cafe" (Cafe Terrace at Night)
good taste you have
That opening scene?
I would burn the entire world down to ash after that.
He got naked because he wanted to make sure he didn't get shot by the police l. He wanted to continue his revenge which he obviously can't if he's killed.
1 of the best movies, wish the ending was different. Very sharp reaction my brother.
"is he going to ask for steak and lobster next" 🤔
Pretty much yeah 👍
To answer your question why was he naked when the police came. It is because he wanted to show them he had no weapons on him and nowhere to hide any . His whole plan hinged on him going to prison. If they shot him because they thought he had A weapon on him . He would ether be dead or in the hospital. That would have ruined all of it. So he picked the quickest way to show that he was unarmed so they would just arrest him.
Capital murder is applicable when someone dies during the committing of a felony. All parties involved are subject to charges. In the world of this film, he probably got this. Not every state has it.
Don't listen to Vic! We're here to see YOU and YOUR reactions, not the movie. Great reaction! Keep em coming!
Don’t blame him at all for the rage. A man can only take so much before they break. Doesn’t justify anything he did, but I understand how you could get there. Rape and murder my family, then give me no justice that feels meaningful… and make excuses? I might break too.
this is a stellar movie. it makes you think about are you realy that good a person or not. an most of us dont enjoy the answer
I forget what a generation gap exists until I hear something like, "2009, quite a while ago". Lol
sorry, couldnt watch this review, didnt see enough of the movie, only you
Death by chair, injection, or gas is suppose to inflict the most pain
Excellent film.
15:55 every reaction i see people ask why he naked^^ bc he dont want to get shot by the police if he is naked they cant say he was reaching for something they thought was a weapon
There is an alternative ending where he wins.
Every time i watch this movie. It's so weird seeing Christian Stolte playing such an evil, disgusting person like Clarence Darby. I'm so used to seeing him as a nice guy, firefighter - Mouch in the TV show Chicago Fire.
Another movie I'd highly recommend is "The Next Three Days" starring Russell Crowe.
10:08 it’s the comparison....... Something so sweet and innocent is happening at the same time as something so brutal. Both scenes are a part of Jaime Fox’s character. Sad part being he DID NOT really have to be there for the execution. So his character decided to watch someone die instead of his daughter’s recital. Also the way the execution is NOT how it’s suppose to be. Either the first or the second injection is suppose to sedate or even just paralyze the inmate. So he DEFINITELY WAS NOT suppose to do that.
the only reason fox's character won was because whilst justified clive's character was "morally" wrong as society sees things
This was definitely a great movie. Better than I expected when I first watched it.
I’m glad he didn’t get away with it at the end though, because while I was rooting for him initially & sympathize with what caused him to do the things he did, he still went too far and killed other innocent people & became the monster. A tragic story.
I agree, it would've been better if he got away with it. You can thank Jaimie Fox, he was suppose to lose at the end of the movie, but he cried and complained until they changed the script in his favor. Always hated him for that. I think it would've been better if he lost.
Jaime fox does lose at the end of the movie. It zooms on his on his tie at the end. Self tightening tie with a metal cable in it is a call back from earlier in the movie. He was strangled to death at his daughters recital.
@@nullakjg767 lol He wasn't supposed to be blown up inside of his cell
Kabir, please react to "Collateral" (2004) starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx! Excellent movie!
Fantastic movie!!! Love it!!!💜💜🎞📽
Have you seen, The Rainmaker, Runaway Jury, Sleepers, The Firm, or Thank you for Smoking?
Good movie with bad ending
Its not such a bad ending if you think of it it was Clyde's purpose to get nick to brake the book to put a bad man away.
An awesome movie!
I watch your reactions for your reactions. I think most would agree. We've seen the movie and want to see what you think and feel. Pay no mind to those that say you talk too much. You don't.
YES!
When I first watched this, I was talking to the screen on how to stop him. When everyone thought he had an accomplice in the prison, I was like "Just transfer him to another prison!". That would have shut down his plan, just not for the reason I thought.
Not many things scarier than a CIA "Analyst"... A Fixer is one of those things
Would love to see you react to Dead man's shoes sometime. Its another revenge film, but its a gritty UK realistic feel one.
This a great movie with a bad and unrealistic ending. (btw, you don't have to chatter the whole way through it, especially as your mic is much louder than the movie soundtrack).
I agree.This Movie could have had a franchise like "The Punisher",and "Saw".
It would take more than a show of force to make me feel safe in Philadelphia? Ik you were talking ab the movie but that’s pretty accurate to real life
This movie was so amazing until the last 20 minutes. The last 20 Minutes was stupid no way a ivy league lawyer would have the intelligence to out smart the main Character who was an ex professional SPOOK
10:25 it isn’t what always happens or is supposed to happen but considering a drug is used for the lethal injection everyone’s reaction can be different. there have been cases of people violently convulsing and having to get multiple doses or having to reset the execution. It’s one of the reasons people are against it as even the most “humane” form of execution can mess up and sometimes take hours to fully work.
It doesn't get more humane than lethal injection. People commit suicide by benzodiazepine/barbiturate overdose every single day. And it's one of the most comfortable deaths in the world. Now imagine that, but as you're unconscious your death is expedited by 2 other drugs. Firing squads are messy, you just have to hope the person dies quickly because even headshots aren't THAT fatal when compared to heart or lung shots. Electrocution is even worse, for obvious reasons. And then the Gas Chamber is just silly and unnecessary. It doesn't get much better than lethal injection, death is a mathematical certainty because the dosages are based on height and weight.
Can't really hear the movie. You're voice is too loud so I can't up the volume.😔
Do 300 if u haven't. Another Gerald Butler fantastic performance.
Great movie!❤
