Spoiler (highlight to read): It is great but unrealistic that a victim of a brutal crime must take justice into his own hands. Gerard Butler does a fantastic job of taking out his vengeance against the justice system. At first you think he is right, but then he goes too far and just becomes another sociopathic criminal. Jamie Foxx does a wonderful job of trying to outsmart his adversary and in doing so, he learns a lesson, you don't make deals with murderers. (end)

Spoiler (highlight to read): I thought he had spent the last ten years plotting this revenge, which I guess to a point he probably did. Buying up all that property, digging the tunnel into prison, etc. But I was dissappointed when it was unveiled to us. I wanted to believe that he was such a tactician that he could set up a series of events years in advance that would all come together in a grandioso concert of events. They wanted you to belive that there was someone else helping him when it was him by himself all along. But everything he did, he could have easily set up ahead of time. Obviously the kidnapping of the other lawyer was done in advance, but the exploding cell phone could have been triggered by having it set to go off at a certain day and time, same thing with the cars exploding based on teh fact that he told Foxx he wanted to be set free by 6 am (knowing they would all leave to their cars after that time had passed, thinking they were safe). By killing them, he knew that anyone surviving would go to the cemetary so he coudl have planned to have that robot attack them at that point. And then bringing down that conference could have all been triggered off his one phone call that everyone gets to make. I loved the scene where he was asking for bail and convinced the judge to let him go on posted bail and then goes off on her that she was about to let a man who's committed murder to be let back into society. His comment at the end of the arguement was perfectly delivered. (end)
