It presents itself as an intellectual thriller, but literally anything can happen whenever the plot requires it. That’s the only explanation for how he accomplishes everything. Bull shit! All bull shit!! He’s a sorceror. He’s given the only steak in the whole prison with a big bone in it that can be turned into a shiv. He immediately commits capital murder in order to be put in solitary, in the exact cell he’s tunneled to. He gets his ass thrown into prison, and it seems to be up to him which prison he’s sent to, or he’s lucky enough to be tossed in the exact clink he’s tunneled under. He’s on the verge of being found not guilty when he decides to berate and insult the judge for being stupid enough to be convinced by his arguments. He has a tunnel dug already as part of a plan that took years to fully realise, that requires him to bust in and out of prison whenever he wants. He sneaks explosives into somebody’s cell phone.
Everything that happens is fantastically implausible and absurd, yet the film takes itself very seriously. Mainly because I was yelling ”Oh, come on!!” every five minutes.
I get that everyone cheered for Shelton and so did I but I don't know how I would've felt him actually winning. He managed to put himself as the villain of the story, a villain for Rice to defeat criminally, and that's what he did. He finally taught Rice that settling with criminals is wrong and that in order to make justice, justice itself has to be made from the beginning and not following the common rules. I felt that Clyde was going to die all along because he was too smart and dangerous to be left alive, and that actually happening meant that the only way a crystal and law respecting character like Nick Rice could've defeat the mastermind Shelton was to actually break the law and the system itself, prooving Shelton's point: The system doesn't work. Some say Jamie Foxx is to blame for that, some don't.Ĭlyde's whole mission was based on the fact that the system is broken and that doesn't work, so he proceeds to destroy it piece after piece with his 10 years planned masterplan, a part we all loved right?īut don't you think that Nick Rice actually killing Clyde Shelton prooves Shelton's very point?
LAW ABIDING CITIZEN NETFLIX MOVIE
So it's common opinion that that movie is a hella amazing and slightly underrated action thrilling flick but even more popular that its ending is bad.
