Many people say that the ending is a failure, that the ending is very ridiculous, a bit false, and does not comply with the law. I strongly disagree with this view, and I think the ending is perfect. Let me talk about my point of view. 1 The background in the movie still had the concept of racial discrimination, and it was very serious. In this era of racial discrimination, the law itself is not fair and inclined to white people. 2 The white man broke the law and was released easily, or the penalty was very light. What is the fairness of the law? 3 The premise for the black man to kill the two criminal whites is that the law does not impose a due penalty on the white man. If the law gives the white man a due penalty, would the black father calm down and kill? We don't want to think about how to reflect on whether the law is fair and whether it protects the disadvantaged. If the law cannot guarantee this, what is the use of the law? It's just an umbrella for privileged people. The improvement of the law is gradual. Even if there are loopholes, we cannot be extreme, but what is the background of this film? Black girls are raped, insulted, and beaten, but the law treats whites with double standards. So why can't blacks be punished like whites?

3.5 The Ku Klux Klan battles nig*a, the court closing scene is very good. In general, it perfectly shows the four characteristics of Joe Schumacher's movies: 1. Crime/thriller/gimmick topics; 2. Like to invite big stars; 3. R-rated; 4. Always bad tone.
