    Just curious. Does everyone like me kind of like and sympathize with the bad guy aka Mr. Butler, up until a certain point at least?

      Yes, it's a device called an anti-hero. It's fairly common.

        I understand how the anti-hero device works in a movie, but I think that, even if the character of Clyde have everything for the anti-hero aura, he's not filmed in a anti-hero way as he's not the main character.

          I was gunning for him to bring down Jamie Foxx's egomaniac doucheness. Mr Butler all the way!

            i enjoyed the movie but yes expected a different ending for him to take down fox and the other guy and then just leave the prison or go bck to trial to get off on the reason he was there as how could of pulled off the other killings being locked up oh well

              The thing is- I could understand his bitterness and why he went crazy.

                  Absolutely! The best character in the movie!

                    Didn't like the part when the cars blew up. Other than that loved Clyde.

                      I agree with absolutely everything he did, even killing the lawyergirl
                      simply because she was in on supporting Nick even when she knew what
                      he had done. When you start making an exception for someone, you need
                      to make exception for others so never make an exception for anyone.
                      Nick is the one to blame for the deaths of all the others.
                      Everyone knows that the legal system is broken and needs to be fixed.
                      I have spoken to the police in my town myself and told them straight up
                      that if my sisters kids would ever come to any harm from any man or woman,
                      i would exact justice myself, simply because i don't trust the legal system
                      to do it for me.
                      Right now, we get a few months or maybe a year for rape of assault,
                      while you get hundreds of thousands of dollars in fine for piracy so wrong.

                        Yeah, Gerard Butler's crazy brainiac dude with the special ops government background was by far the most likeable person in this film.
                        You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
