"Someone should pay attention and fix the flawed justice system!!!" - summit10
No matter how hard we try to live our life there is always something that will tore you apart, especially when it comes to your family!!!
That is when Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) witnessed the brutality and the horror of his wife being raped and killed as well as his daughter's murder.
After a time of reviewing the trial, enter Philadelphia hot shot prosecutor Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) to find the best solution to the case in which he will give a lighter sentence to the convict in return for a testimony to his accomplice.
Clyde could not understand the said solution in which Nick perceives is the best way to get both of the criminals turned in. To add insult, Clyde saw the misunderstood handshake after the Press!
So it stands, the next thing that happened was the other convict was overdosed or which killed him is not in the process. After speculation, the police together with the Prosecutors Office are on track of the other convict.
While on the chase, cornered, the convict was assisted by an unknown stranger which leads them to an abandoned warehouse, Clyde disguising himself as a Police Officer shows his true identity with only one purpose...
The next thing that happened was the convict was found in pieces, brutally amputated, beheaded in the warehouse. Then all hell breaks loose!!!
Wanting to prove a point, Clyde was jailed, in trial and testified that he was indeed the one who killed both the convicts. It further aggravated him when he was set free by the Judge specifying the testimony was sincere and in genuine honesty. Knowing how the justice system works, he will soon make sure everyone understands that people and accomplices in this trial will die if the flawed justice system will not be fixed!
A brilliant film, smart and at the edge of your seat experience!!! Gerard and Jamie's performance was remarkable, outwitting each other in this thriller of a ride!
I enjoyed Gerard's portrayal of a family man, a good guy gone bad!!! And to think he is the best in what he does, but all roads come to an end even if it is stated to be the lesser of both evils.
The moral of the story is: the ends doesn't justify the means!!!
