Clyde's Cup

Or to say the end is good. The ending was a bit disappointing, why? Because there was an informant who bragged before, a hint to the audience: Clyde counted everything, he is electricity, he is light, he is the only myth, SUPERSTAR, and my appetite is hanged for it The old Gao, a thoughtful guy who kills invisibly, a man sitting in prison negotiating conditions, an underground worker who has spent ten years digging underground tunnels, can he not be awesome? He is not arrogant and sorry for those who died.
The ending was definitely not within Clyde's expectations. I don't think Clyde sent the email to Nick. About 12 minutes into the movie, Sarah told Nick about Chester. This person was the one who wrote to Nick. Suspected to be Sarah's boyfriend. If Clyde let Nick know his secret, then his last jump and arranging the bomb would be meaningless, and he's not sure if Nick would really understand his purpose, and even if Nick did, he would Blow up the mayor, because the black babes said at the meeting: I don't care what cumbersome nonsense laws you cite, I will get this grandson for me tomorrow! These words are under the supervision of Clyde, which is also a violation of justice. Of course, Nick's illegal invasion of other people's houses is also a violation of justice.
Regarding Clyde's strategy of learning tunnel warfare, I think it is very technically difficult to operate, and there are many uncertain factors, which are unreliable. He dug tunnels into every cell, then if any prisoner has enough to eat and has nothing to do In the cell, I stomped my feet and heard the sound of the floor under my feet.
There is a question: In the end, after Clyde blew himself up, the camera switched to a person walking quickly outside the prison. Who is this person? Is that the guy from the demolition team?
In short, Clyde has made a humiliating miscalculation. I don’t know what the director means. Maybe it is justice for the innocent victims, but from the point of view expressed in this film, there is no fairness and justice at all. The judiciary is corrupt and forced to become prostitutes. , to wash blood and repay grievances, patriotic youth can use this film as a negative teaching material to criticize the corrupt and backward judicial system in the United States, but as a suspense film, I think the ending is very bad, and I could have given 4 stars.

Law Abiding Citizen quotes

  • Clyde Shelton: [Surprised to see Nick in his cell] I wasn't expecting company. Yeah, I would have -- I would have cleaned up a little.

    Nick Rice: Never seen anybody tunnel into prison before. And the solitary confinement? That was clever.

    Clyde Shelton: Well, that's how winners play. We "convince" the other guy that he's making all the right moves. So, did you ever catch my accomplice?

    Nick Rice: Yeah, I did. It's the end of the road for you now. You played us, Clyde. You played us real good.

    Clyde Shelton: Thank you. You know, I'm glad you finally get to appreciate some of the effort that I put into all of this.

    Nick Rice: Well, you set out to make a point, Clyde. You made it.

    Clyde Shelton: No, people still don't get it. They don't appreciate what I'm trying to say, Nick, but they will soon enough.

    Nick Rice: A man I cared about once told me that we can't retract the decisions that we've made, we can only affect the decisions we're going to make from here.

    Clyde Shelton: Are you trying to save me now, Nick?

    Nick Rice: I'm giving you a way out. Big difference. Stand up for those principles you've been preaching. See, we're all held accountable, Clyde. That includes you. Why don't we do the right thing here?

    Clyde Shelton: I'm doing the right thing, Nick. You just have to see it that way.

    Nick Rice: By murdering all those people, all you're doing is destroying the memory of your daughter and causing the same pain that you're suffering from.

    Clyde Shelton: So what do you suggest, Nick? Make another deal? One final offer? Is that what it is?

    Nick Rice: I don't make deals with murderers anymore, Clyde. You taught me that.

    Clyde Shelton: [scoffs] Finally. Well done. Bravo. Maybe I wasn't such a bad teacher after all.

    Nick Rice: If you go through with this, Clyde, it's a decision you'll have to live with for the rest of your life.

  • Nick Rice: [Tasting his daughter's French toast] It's very good, you cook better than your mother.

    Kelly Rice: [Upon entering the kitchen from another room] I heard that! Are you going to our daughter's recital this afternoon?

    Kelly Rice: That's not the same.

    Denise Rice: [to Kelly] It's okay, I know Dad's got to work.

    Nick Rice: That's right! Dad's got to work. And what does Dad do during the day?

    Denise Rice: Lock up bad guys!

    Nick Rice: And why does he do that?

    Denise Rice: To keep us safe.
