      Yeah, you're right. There's no way you were supposed to root for Jamie Foxx. Thats why I thought the film ended up being a shambles though. Had it been a low budget independent film... maybe we'd have gotten the more controversial ending.

      That's the problem with films like this. Not only are we supposed to "get off" on the sadistic behavior of the villain for 2 hours, we are then expected to take the moral high ground at [literally] the last minute.

      It's uneven... It's unsatisfying... it's Hollywood!

      Listen, through the movie,jamie fox was shown as an arrogant and selfish lawyer who only cared about money and fame,and it could be seen tha he would be punished in the movie,but instead of being punished,he won too.The "good american" beat the outlaw again. ixnayray said:
      You are correct, I think the best ending would have been for Gerard Butler's plan to work... but they wimped out as expected.

      ok next time i will post there.I was thinking an alternative ending and this was the easiest one to think.But come on they made up this awesome scenario by themselves,i would never think of it,so it was up to them to make up a good ending.Anyway they can't change it now.

      I saw it the other night. It was pretty good but it went downhill after the Judge/phone scene. And the ending? Well, I couldn't really see it ending any other way. I think when they [the film makers] got to the end they remembered Gerard Butler was supposed to be the bad guy, because the audience must clearly have been rooting for him for the most part! I recommend posting movie related stuff here in future : http://garagepunk.ning.com/group/talkintrash
