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.

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.

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.

If someone's going to go through the trouble of committing a home invasion when they know people are home it's because they're after more than money

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?

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.

This has gotta be my favorite kabir reaction this far dude. I love how you appreciate Clyde’s legal cleverness just as much as all his other plans.

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.

"He's like a nice family guy" Welllll about that!

@17:00 The daughter mistook that video for the copy of her recital that she was expecting. He didn’t intentionally send it to her.

I supported The dad to kill them all was rooting for him to challenge the system

My opinion on the movie is Jamie foxx’s character never understood how many wrong moves he made and still thought that he won at the end.

"she's definitely next" *boom* "wasn't expecting that"

Four Brothers is a good movie

Clive is how all humans on earth should behave. Simple. It's the Golden Rule. "Don't fuck with me, and I won't fuck with you." VERY SIMPLE!

This movie easily makes my top 10 favorites of all time list!

He was naked so the cops can see he's unarmed & so ladies get all hot'n'bothered 😂

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).

Amazing movie

I live in Philly and it was interesting to see my former Mayor holding the bible as Nick was being sworn in.

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

He is only killing those that are corrupt. There were no innocent deaths in this movie, except at the very beginning.

I laughed out loud at the comment: "Is he going to ask for steak & lobster?"

Love the twists and turns in this movie..Great acting all around

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)

Yes, what a super movie!! Have seen it several times. (Skipping over the gore lol) very well done. 😊

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.

Love this movie!! Glad you enjoyed it!! You should react to The Green Mile if you haven't seen it.

“Why is he naked… why is he naked though”. Hahaha, I’m dead.

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 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

Love your movie reactions feels like we are absolutely watching it together Keep up the good work

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!

That looks like a model replica of Leonardo Davinci’s flying device he designed.

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

Gerard Butler was so good in this. I was so pissed at the crappy ending.

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.

Great movie but BS Ending! Gerard definitely should have come out on top

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

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.🤣

i loved hearing your prospective bro, especially as a former paralegal. keep it up.

One of my fav movie but I ain’t on the side of Jamie . Great movie greetings from France 🇫🇷

Excellent film.

loved your reaction man , its an unrated classic . Great harsh story . I subscribed .

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)

Jamie is only thinking about himself and his record wins.

The Van Gogh picture behind you is my favourite of his "Open Air Cafe" (Cafe Terrace at Night) good taste you have

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 👍

"His gonna take matters into his own hands" 🤭🤭🤭

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.

I love it that you noticed that he didn't confess too. I said the same thing exactly like that.

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.

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

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.

A guy with nothing to lose is very dangerous

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.

Great movie; great reaction. If you want another straight up revenge movie, I'd recommend Tarantino's Kill Bill pts. 1 and 2.

"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

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

Death by chair, injection, or gas is suppose to inflict the most pain

15:53 - took me a few watches, but he is naked to make sure nobody shoots him under suspicion of something being concealed.

That opening scene? I would burn the entire world down to ash after that.

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.

There is an alternative ending where he wins.

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

"is he going to ask for steak and lobster next" 🤔 Pretty much yeah 👍

YES!

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.

Fantastic movie!!! Love it!!!💜💜🎞📽

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.

1 of the best movies, wish the ending was different. Very sharp reaction my brother.

Would love to see you react to Dead man's shoes sometime. Its another revenge film, but its a gritty UK realistic feel one.

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

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.

Have you seen, The Rainmaker, Runaway Jury, Sleepers, The Firm, or Thank you for Smoking?

the only reason fox's character won was because whilst justified clive's character was "morally" wrong as society sees things

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.

Love it but maybe a little less talking or random noises

An awesome movie!

Team Clyde 100%

I saw 300 before this, I see Jamie Foxx as ‘The Messenger’ not accountable for the message…..😉

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.

Not many things scarier than a CIA "Analyst"... A Fixer is one of those things

Gerard Butler is awesome. You should see him as phantom of the opera

Don't listen to Vic! We're here to see YOU and YOUR reactions, not the movie. Great reaction! Keep em coming!

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 forget what a generation gap exists until I hear something like, "2009, quite a while ago". Lol

Gerald and Jamie is the best in this movie I'd like them to to another in Hollywood you can't get to better actor's

Moral of this movie? Get a security door, or at least a safety latch

Kabir, please react to "Collateral" (2004) starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx! Excellent movie!

Wow 🤩

Another epic movie!

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.

Please react to The Phantom of the Opera! It’s the other one of Buttler’s best movies! 300, this and Phantom are the 3 must sees of his!

Try "Deception" with Ewan McGregor

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.
