Is Law Abiding Citizen Good Reddit

Someone here has already had a very good point about the ending we had, and the possible involvement of Jamie Foxx in making that ending happen. I wish I could find it, but the noise-to-signal ratio is too high in this movie. The title says it all. I don`t think it was Foxx`s fault and it was more the scripts in my opinion. I also heard the rumors that he changed the ending of the film, but I`m sure that turned out to be wrong. Why is his character so badly written anyway? In my opinion, it`s because they treated him well, but he wasn`t really a good guy. He wasn`t corrupt, but he did business with murderers and didn`t really apologize to Clyde for what he had done. It feels like he should be the antagonist, but they changed him at the last second. I think this movie would have been better if there had been Butler as the protagonist and Foxx as the antagonist. Then his character would make more sense.

But overall, I never felt bad for his character. When I was at the beginning of the film, I thought he would redeem himself later. I think it would have been a better film. If Foxx was still the protagonist, but he redeemed himself feeling guilty about the death of Clyde`s wife and daughter within 10 years. That guilt has always been there and would make him a more human character. Clyde survived the bomb in the end because he`s REALLY good at planning. I saw this movie today. You can argue who to choose, but the character of Jamie Foxx is the “good” moral character in the story. Butler`s character has begun to corrupt itself as his own sense of morality and revenge. Seriously, the first half of the movie was decent. It was the construction of such a good conspiracy, where he had an ingenious plan to take revenge, thwart the corrupt system and get away with it.

At least, that`s what I was hoping for. They should have figured out how to execute his plan and get away with it, the only response from the audience was, “Damn, that was great.” What`s wrong with Reddit`s fascination with this film? Growing up watching TV shows and movies, we always wanted to remember that the good always win, evil never wins. Even if you have a “bad guy” that you understand and agree with because he does it his way and not the “right” way, they end up losing. It seems like Hollywood is always trying to force the good guy into everything (except in cheesy horror movies). Butler had a sympathetic reason for his actions, but Foxx`s character was so unsympathetic and he was actually corrupt because he unleashed a child killer just to improve his conviction rate. So imo he wasn`t the right guy either. Foxx is “not good”, but Butler is a monster in this movie. Even though the death of his wife and daughter has made him a monster, the people he kills, the way he kills them. It`s clearly a monster, I see a lot of comments like this and I have to say that the movie wasn`t really good even before the end. The script and dialogues are really bad, I`m surprised the movie is as popular as it is. I agree. I was unhappy with the ending.

Maybe the editing of the directors is different. Overall, I really enjoyed it. I described it as SAW if it didn`t rely on a lot of gore and had a very, very good plot and good characters. Me too. I hate it when the plot makes one of the characters a super smart guy and then they let them make a stupid mistake just to finish. (SPOILER ALERT) Example: This guy was tough enough to kill you with a phone call, careful enough to plan every little detail, but then he forgets the janitor`s car outside the room where he hid the explosives, and so announces its location to the good dumb guys. Bullsh*t total. One of the angriest examples is Law Abiding Citizen. This film was incredible, incredible, I loved it until the end!!! Then came the end, and it all became. What for? Because the good guy had to win. Did that fit the story? No! They had to put a character in the movie just because someone knew someone. The laziest trash can to force her into history.

There were several better ways to make the ending and let the good guys win, but they wanted the HAPPY version of the ending, which is probably the part that bothers me the most. Clyde was the good guy, although he was denied justice Overall, the movie was funny and funny forgettable series.
