Nick's daughter has a cello recital today, but Nick has no time to watch his daughter's performance. His wife complained a lot about this, and Nick quickly comforted him, saying that he had more important things to do, and asked his wife to get the videotape of the performance and watch it together at home.
What is Nick going to do? It turns out that Nick is a prosecutor and is going to supervise the execution of a death row prisoner.
The death row prisoner was asked about his last words before he died. The death row prisoner said: I shouldn't have gone there that night. It was a mistake, but I swear I didn't kill anyone. The person who deserves to die here today is not me.
But this is of no use at all, the lethal injection will continue. But something strange happened. What was originally a painless injection of death turned into an excruciating torture. The condemned prisoner seemed to have endured endless pain before dying in the struggle.
Then this is a problem, and it is not in line with the purpose of humanitarianism. After some investigation, there is an additional line on the drug used for death by injection: Unable to resist fate.
This reminds Nick of a person, that is Darby, who committed crimes ten years ago with today's death row inmate. This is what Darby said to the victim when they committed a crime together.
Well, you can ask Darby about this matter.
What is Darby doing? At this time, he was watching the news in his room, which reported the execution of his accomplice. He wanted to laugh when he saw it, mocking him for being such an idiot.
At this time, the phone rang, and a strange voice told him that the police were coming to arrest him and asked him to leave quickly.
Darby didn't believe it, but when he looked out the window following the unfamiliar voice, he found that a large number of police cars had arrived. The stranger on the phone instructs Darby to run away and not be caught by the police.
Obviously, the stranger's command was effective, and Darby began to trust him and threw away his gun. He fled to an abandoned factory, where a police car prepared for him by a stranger contained a stunned policeman and a gun.
Darby picked up a gun, woke up the unconscious policeman, and threatened the policeman to take him away.
The police had no choice but to take Darby to another abandoned factory and escaped the police pursuit.
Darby drove the policeman out of the car and threatened him with a gun. This is what the policeman said: What about my wife and children? I'll never see them again.
Darby told the police to shut up. Then the phone came to mind and the stranger called again. Darby thanked the stranger for his help and called him a guardian angel.
But the voice coming from the phone actually said the same thing as the policeman pointing his gun at the same time: Do you know why I can never see my wife and children again? It's because you killed them.
The police took off their disguise and turned out to be the male protagonist of the case that Darby committed ten years ago.
It turns out that ten years ago, Darby and Ami entered a home and committed a crime. They sneaked into a home, violated and brutally killed his wife and daughter in front of the man.
But after being caught in the crime, Darby made a deal with prosecutor Nick, accusing his accomplice Ami of being the main murderer, while the real murderer Darby only betrayed a fixed-term sentence of less than ten years. Ami, on the other hand, will be executed ten years later, and he is the one who died earlier.
The male protagonist of the victim’s family was extremely dissatisfied with the verdict, but there was nothing he could do about it. When he sees murderer Darby shaking hands with prosecutor Nick, he disappears.
disappeared for ten years. Obviously, time has not diminished his hatred. He first switched the drugs injected by the death row prisoner Ami, causing him to die in pain. Then he took the opportunity to lead Darby into the trap he designed and controlled Darby.
Darby was certainly surprised when he saw the people he had persecuted ten years later. He raised his gun and pointed it at the male protagonist Clyde. After firing, no bullets were fired. Instead, many barbs appeared from the butt of the gun. Digging into Darby's hand.
Darby didn't even have a chance to speak before he was controlled by the poison Clyde prepared for him. It turned out that the barbs on the gun were covered with a special poison that could paralyze people without damaging the nervous system.
To put it simply, although Darby cannot move, he can experience all the pain.
Then the bloody revenge began. Clyde tied Darby to a console, and he was tied so tightly that he had no chance to resist. Just like Clyde was unable to resist ten years ago. Clyde just wants Darby to experience the same despair he felt back then.
Clyde also prepared tourniquets, nutritional liquids, and even heart testing equipment to prevent Darby from dying quickly. Darby must have been frightened and his heartbeat was pounding. But Clyde would not let him go, he would make him suffer ten times a hundred times the pain.
Before starting, Clyde gave Darby an injection of adrenaline to ensure he wouldn't pass out.
Clyde starts by showing the various tools, telling him which tool is used for which part of his body. Darby, you can't fight fate. Clyde returned the words that Darby had told him ten years ago.
Of course, these are nothing. Clyde also set up a mirror for Darby and hung it on top of Darby. There are also photos of Clyde's wife and daughter on the mirror. He wants his wife and daughter to witness the process, and he also wants Darby to watch how he is torn into pieces. The images behind
are not suitable for children, and we cannot over-describe them. But to be honest, if the director had read Mo Yan 's "Sandalwood Punishment", maybe he would have tortured Darby even more miserably instead of just being divided into 25 pieces.
Of course, this is also very miserable. When the police found him, his arms and legs were gone, and his eyelids were gone.
Only then did the police remember the victim Clyde. They investigated Clyde and found out that Clyde was an inventor with dozens of patents in his hands. This was no ordinary person.
The police easily caught Clyde because he never thought of resisting. He took off all his clothes at home and stood naked at the door waiting for the police to arrive.
Nick and Clyde met again. The last time they met, Clyde saw Nick shaking hands with the devil Darby, and Clyde despised him. This time, Clyde saw that Nick was still full of disdain.
Clyde killed the two murderers who tortured his wife and daughter. Is revenge over? No, this is just the beginning. Because in Clyde's view, this justice should have come long ago. It was these corrupt policies that led to the injustice of his wife and daughter.
So how will Clyde retaliate against these corrupt systems and "mechanical" personnel who can only copy dogma? We'll see.
Nick found a large number of legal books in Clyde's residence, which are only read by professionals. In addition, he also saw the significant picture, the one of him and Darby shaking hands, which had been cut out of the newspaper and posted in Clyde's study.
Clyde was arrested, but the police did not have any evidence to prove his guilt. The only possibility was for Clyde to plead guilty. Nick goes to talk to Clyde, and the conversation is very interesting.
Nick: Did you kill Darby?
Clyde: I wanted him dead, he killed my wife and daughter.
Nick: You killed Ami too.
Clyde: Ami deserves it, they both deserve it.
Nick: So you arranged both murders?
Clyde: Yeah, it took a long time to plan it over and over in my head.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that Clyde admitted all his guilt, but none of these words were words of admission.
Nick said: We know it was you.
Clyde said: The important thing is not that you know what I have done, but what kind of evidence can you provide?
These words were also told by Nick to Clyde ten years ago, which is a kind of irony.
Nick said: What do you want?
Clyde said: It's very simple. You made a deal with crime back then, and we make a deal today. As long as you agree to my request, I will plead guilty and fully plead guilty.
Clyde wanted a bed, a comfortable bed, a comfortable bed in the cell.
Nick laughed loudly after hearing this. It was incredible that the prisoner actually wanted to sleep on a comfortable bed in prison. Nick refused, thinking it was unreasonable.
But then something happened on Nick's side. His daughter received a videotape, which turned out to be the entire video of Darby's murder. Nick's daughter was horrified.
This videotape cannot be used as evidence because Clyde is wearing a hood.
Clyde's request was granted, and a comfortable Simmons mattress was sent to the prison.
In court, Clyde argued hard and did not plead guilty as originally agreed, but also cited an example of the same type to prove his innocence.
The judge could only acquit Clyde, and at this time Clyde got angry again, because this judge was the judge who tried Darby ten years ago and made an unjust verdict.
Clyde said that you are a useless judge who only knows how to copy dogmas and does not know how to adapt. You acquit me, right? Then I tell you, I am the one who killed the person, and I plead guilty.
This is a slap in the face of the judge, and the entire judicial institution has lost face. However, Clyde also faced imprisonment.
Nick went to prison to find Clyde to confirm his guilt. Clyde admitted the fact of murder, but proposed the next deal. Clyde was to eat a fine steak in prison, medium rare, and listen to music while he ate.
Nick thinks Clyde is really crazy. Now that you have pleaded guilty and are in jail, what else can you do?
Clyde said Bill Leonard's name, and Nick was stunned.
Bill was the lawyer for Darby, the murderer in the lawsuit ten years ago, so he was aiding the evildoer. Nick goes out to find out that Bill has been missing for three days.
had no choice but to agree to the steak request in order to find Bill. But the warden couldn't stand it. Sometimes he had mattresses, sometimes steaks, and he regarded this place as a five-star hotel? So he strictly scrutinized the steak and did not deliver it to the cell at the time Clyde requested.
The food delivery time was 8 minutes late. When the police found Bill, Bill had just been dead for 8 minutes. This design is perfect.
Clyde killed his cellmate with the beef bone in the steak, and Clyde was imprisoned in a small dark room.
Nick was very angry and scolded Clyde for killing someone because the lunch time was delayed. Clyde said that the person was not killed by me, but by you. It was you who did not keep your words, which led to Bill's death. This is to make you understand that what you say must mean what you say.
Nick said: What principles do you use when killing and torturing people?
Clyde said: Everyone is responsible for their own actions.
Nick said: If you kill someone in the name of your wife and daughter, will they find it pleasurable?
Nick handed Clyde’s daughter’s belongings to Clyde.
Clyde fell into deep thought, but then looked up and said: My wife and daughter can't feel anything, they are dead.
This kind of dialogue really tortures people's hearts. No matter what kind of work it appears in, it is worthy of praise.
Clyde was locked up in a small solitary cell, what else could he do? Should he stop?
Nick's leader found one of Clyde's former colleagues who turned out to be a spy. When this colleague knew that Clyde was angry, he gave Nick a suggestion, that is, go to the prison and kill Clyde with one shot. Otherwise, no one can stop his revenge, all the same as what happened ten years ago. Everyone involved will be in trouble. Because Clyde is not just a spy, he is a leader.
Although Nick didn't think it was necessary to go to prison and shoot Clyde to death, he really started to take it seriously. He called his assistant and asked her to stay at her boyfriend's house for a few days, and then arranged for a security team to patrol near his house. .
They went to the judge again and asked her to use vague legal provisions to restrain Clyde. The female judge actually agreed. It seemed that this was not a judge who only followed the letter of the law, but would also make changes. She should have given Clyde a just sentence ten years ago.
At this time, the judge's phone rang, and the judge wanted to answer the phone. Nick was puzzled and said, are you still answering the phone? I called you so many times and you didn't answer? The judge was very proud: This is the prerogative of the judge, he can do whatever he wants.
Nick expressed his helplessness, and the judge answered the phone. Hello, the phone instantly turned into a Z bomb, and the judge’s brain was instantly exploded.
Nick and his colleagues were petrified, for God's sake. How is this done?
Nick could only go to the prison to see Clyde. This time Clyde was chained. This time Clyde wants to make a deal with Nick again. This time Clyde requires Nick to withdraw all lawsuits against Clyde before six o'clock tomorrow morning, otherwise he will kill everyone. His purpose is not revenge, but to fight against this corrupt system.
Nick rejected Clyde's request. He thought it was a foolish dream.
That night, Nick’s assistant began to reflect on his own problems. Is there really no problem with their choice back then? Making a deal with the devil, for crime rates, are these the right choices? She hesitated. But Nick told her they made the right choice.
The next day, it was almost time to make an appointment with Clyde. Clyde held his daughter's belongings in the prison and muttered silently. Outside the prison, Nick and his colleagues looked at the clock nervously. The time came to six o'clock, and nothing happened.
Nick said that no one is omnipotent, just take a break and keep working hard. then disbanded. When everyone separated, Nick was chatting and walking with one of his colleagues. For those colleagues who were sitting in the car, the vehicle suddenly exploded, and six judicial officers, including her beautiful assistant, were killed.
What happened alarmed the mayor. The mayor was very angry and reprimanded Nick and his leaders. The funny thing is that even though we know who did it and put him in jail, bad things still happen.
Nick suspects that Clyde has an assistant who has been helping him outside the prison.
Nick sent his wife and daughter away, wanting them to stay away from this place of right and wrong. But if he could have given the same justice to Clyde's wife and daughter ten years ago, wouldn't these things have happened?
When Nick returned home, he found that the photo frames at the door of his house had been moved, and one of the photo frames was replaced by a photo of himself and Darby shaking hands.
Nick went to prison to see Clyde again. He said that he made the most correct choice in the case that year. If he filed a lawsuit and reported their crimes, maybe both Darby and Ami would be acquitted.
But Clyde doesn't think so. He thinks Nick should try instead of compromising. And warned Nick that what he did before was just a warm-up, and things would turn into a war next. I want you to watch this corrupt "temple" collapse in front of you.
At the funeral of the female assistant, Nick also began to reflect on himself. He remembered that when he was young, he also wanted to change this rotten system.
But after getting deeper into it, I gave in here and took a step back there, and I became the unprincipled myself I am now. Instead of changing the system, he allowed the system to change him.
There is another classic saying at this time: Making a decision is not difficult, the difficult thing is accepting the decision. I think everyone should remember this sentence
and ponder its deeper meaning.
Leaving the cemetery, everything seems so peaceful, but behind the tranquility is often the greatest danger.
A remote-controlled car and a machine gun slowly approached the vehicle, and the vehicle was suddenly shut down by the remote device. The machine gun started shooting, and Nick's leader Jonas was beaten into a sieve. It was not too late. The remote-controlled car launched a missile, and the vehicle was blown up instantly.
This is really a war. Jonas is a high-level official, Nick's leader and guide, and a good friend of the mayor. The mayor was furious again and appointed Nick as the new prosecutor to continue his fight with Clyde.
At this time, Nick became more sober. He looked at the files of Clyde's wife and daughter, and saw the tragic situation when they were killed. He really felt how Clyde felt, because he also had a wife and daughter. .
When Nick checked the female assistant's mailbox, he found that the letter sent by a friend of the female assistant turned out to be Clyde's real estate information. Nick suddenly realizes that a property is located next to a prison.
Nick and his colleagues broke into the house and found an amazing tunnel inside. Clyde actually dug the tunnel into the prison. One of the holes turned out to be in the solitary room, which was where he killed The reason for the inmates.
Nick and the others entered the solitary room through the tunnel, but Clyde was no longer in it. Where had he gone? Nick makes another surprising discovery in the house. Clyde hacked into the city's surveillance system, and the city's surveillance turned out to be his tool.
In addition, they found a copy of Clyde's work permit at his operating desk, and they actually went to the city hall. This time his target was the halls of government.
Sure enough, Clyde dressed as a cleaning staff and entered the government hall with cleaning tools, and the janitor greeted him warmly. It seems that this has been planned for a long time and he has disappeared for ten years. He has worked hard to retaliate against this system and system.
At this time, he has become a devil, a self-righteous devil blinded by hatred?
Nick and his colleagues quickly rushed to the city hall and notified the explosion prevention team to handle the matter together. Originally, the mayor had a small press conference today, and Clyde took the opportunity to make a move, in order to cause a bigger sensation.
The Z-bomb was discovered in a suitcase. It was a Z-bomb with super power, enough to blow up an entire building. His colleagues were so frightened that they wanted to notify the mayor, but Nick stopped him because he was worried that Clyde would immediately detonate the Z-bomb if he found out. The
Z bomb is connected to a mobile phone. As long as someone dials the phone, the Z bomb will detonate.
The purpose of the mayor's meeting was also for Clyde. She wanted to know why Clyde could turn the entire city upside down by himself. Why was there no legal provision that could kill this madman?
Clyde has actually won, and his actions have attracted the attention of the highest levels. At this time, Clyde returned to the prison, only to find Nick already waiting for him there.
Nick told him that he had actually won and should stop. But Clyde doesn't think so. He thinks people deserve a deeper hit.
Nick said that if you impose the pain you have experienced on others, is this justice?
Clyde said: What do you want? How about we make another deal?
Nick said: I will never make a deal with a murderer again, you told me this.
Clyde said: You finally understand.
Nick says: Yes, finally.
But Clyde eventually called the number and said sorry to Nick.
Nick also said sorry to Clyde, then turned and left, saying before leaving that you still have 25 seconds to live.
It turns out that Nick transferred the Z bomb to the prison where Clyde was, locked the exits on both sides, and left quickly.
Clyde was about to die. He held his daughter's relics in his hands and faced death calmly.
At the end of the movie, Nick finally found time to watch his daughter's cello performance.
To be honest, the ending of the movie was a bit rushed, as if it was copied mechanically. For example, regarding the Z bomb, Nick knew not to notify the mayor to evacuate, fearing that Clyde would find out and detonate the Z bomb in advance.
Would Clyde be stupid enough not to install the device on the Z bomb? Was he transferred easily by you like this?
Since it can be transferred, why not transfer it to an open place to detonate it, but why do you have to take it to the prison? Does blowing up a prison require no repairs? Is it too much to kill a murderer with a powerful Z-bomb? The first half of the
movie is indeed very exciting, but the latter part feels a little superfluous.
This also reminds me of "The Bomb Disposer 2" I watched a few days ago. He is also an upright person, but because of some unfair treatment, he becomes extreme. The scenes are all wonderful, but the ending is a bit disappointing.
It seems that blockbusters are really difficult to operate. It is easy to make a wonderful movie, but it is really difficult to make a blockbuster that will go down in history. If this movie had thought more about the plot, it might have had a different ending, and it might have become a classic.
Okay, let’s write this today. I accidentally wrote too much, more than 6,000 words. Will everyone be impatient to read it all? You can give me some feedback. I am also trying to write movie plot articles. If it's good or bad, you can leave me a message and we can make progress together.
Thanks for reading.
