I always feel that the ending is a bit of a fly in the ointment. It seems to have returned to a so-called "rule of law" ending. It's a bit official, and it took nearly 100 minutes of high energy. Perhaps foreign film censorship is also quite strict :)
However, the sentence "I will not deal with murderers" said by the black Nick may also give another interpretation of the ending. Although I don't like Nick, the male protagonist probably didn't want to kill Nick in the first place, otherwise Nick couldn't survive the first 30 minutes with the male protagonist's method?? The male protagonist made deals with Nick again and again and played with him again and again, just to teach Nick forever Don't make deals with criminals. In the end, the two of them are in prison. Nick said, "I won't make deals with murderers anymore. You taught me this." Then the male protagonist smiled relievedly, "I finally learned, maybe I'm not a bad teacher." And the male protagonist in the film probably killed the prosecutor so that Nick could take office, and I even suspected that the key email was sent to Nick by the male protagonist. It's not difficult for the male lead to kill Nick, but what he has to fight against is the entire judicial system. He uses killings again and again to teach Nick to be a human being, and he uses killing to train a prosecutor who may be just. This is another kind of male lead's approach to justice. form of defense.
After going through all this, the male protagonist killed his enemies, took down those powerful judicial officials, and "supported" a prosecutor who "will not deal with criminals again". It can be said that he did not lose, and finally Reborn in fire. This is similar to Wen Ziren's "Illegal Sanctions", which is also a revenge theme, but "Law Abiding Citizen" has risen to the level of confrontation system, which is more thorough. The ruthlessness of swearing to never give up until the goal is reached is stronger than the former, and "Illegal Sanctions" still follows the "injustice, the debt has the owner, and the injustice will be repaid", the same is that they all chose the law. outside the more extreme means to achieve their goals. We might be able to say they did wrong, but we shouldn't run away from why they did it, and if it's just "revenge", "hatred swept his head, dehumanized" to explain it all, I believe something like this It can never be avoided. Regardless of "Extraordinary Sanctions" or "Law Abiding Citizens", their actions are not correct, but their actions are enough to warn that there are indeed some problems in our society, some very serious problems.
It's a scary thing for everyone to talk about the law outside of it. The law should remain absolutely objective and fair, but it is people who are punished by the law, people who apply the law, and people who manipulate rape laws.
To this day, I am still willing to believe in the law and believe that "Skynet is prudent and not leaking", but sometimes I feel sympathy for Clyde and Behnken. I think this is also because I have felt evil, helplessness, and disappointment... Presumably many people are like this, and it is precisely because of this that the director can so accurately grasp the joys of each of us. "To live or to perish, this is a question worth thinking about."
