I like the concept, but I don't know how it'll turn out. I hadn't heard of the movie until this post. At first I was sort of getting a Death Wish vibe from the first few seconds of that trailer. So I guess that's a good thing. But aren't they remaking Death Wish too? Charles Bronson better make a cameo in that from beyond the grave. If anyone could do that, it'd be Charles Bronson.

Saw this last night. Some pretty badass shit goes on in the movie. Like the judge getting her head blown off by the cellphone and Clyde stabbing his cellmate with a FUCKING T-BONE FROM THE STEAK HE JUST ATE. That shit was all awesome.

The ending was pretty decent. Clyde pretty much wins by changing Nick's beliefs about law and life. Nick says he's done making deals with murders, so the justice system will probably see an overhaul as he's also the new DA. He also attended his daughter's cello recital, so he has a new look on life. We also assume Clyde dies, but when the bomb goes off, the flames only surround Clyde. We don't actually see him die, but I'd be surprised as fuck if they made a sequel or something.

I'd check the movie out just for some of the kills and funny lines. The movie isn't perfect by all means, but it was a fun entertainment from start to finish.

You must be easy to please. Fuck this dumbass movie.

I'll watch it when it is OnDemand for free and I need to waste some time. If the kills promise to be as innovative and fresh as the trailer made it seem then it could be OK.

Saw this last night. I had fun with it, despite it possessing A LOT of retardation: Okay, he spent 10 years tunneling into every cell in solitary so when he was eventually arrested he's be able to sneak out whenever he wanted. Also, they just LET Jamie Fox enter the prison with an armed napalm bomb (that could have been set off at any time while driving over with it, killing everyone) and LET him plant it in Clyde's cell so when it goes off it not only kills Clyde, but it blows up a chunk of the prison and kills who knows how many other prisoners as well? How does the fucking DA get away with KILLING an unconvicted man and destroying half the jail? Oh, and why did Clyde have to be naked when he got arrested? What was the point of that? I mean, there was just so much stupid shit in this movie.

Still, Gerard Butler was very entertaining, and I got some lols out of the funny lines and the kills (especially when the cell phone made the Judge's head go kablooey), so whatever. But I can't go on enough about that stupid fucking ending.

I didn't really think of this, but you're right. Cool.

Yeah, with this movie you got to ignore those kinds of details and just believe that it was possible to get away with shit like that. As far as him being naked when he got arrested goes, the only possible reason I could think of was that he wanted to show the cops/swat he was unarmed so he wouldn't get fired upon. No point in planning something this big if you'd take the risk of getting shot and possibly dying.

Again, another good point.

The kills were fun. The film lacked subtext and humanity. Jamie Foxx is the king of mugging and indicating. Don't waste your money on this. DL or wait for tv - and I promise FX or Spike will show this for days on end in about 1 year. /thread.
