I know its about a year old now but i've only just watched it and thought it was great but I am weird for rooting for Gerard Butler all the way through and quite sad when he died at the end?
Plus who was the person helping him all the way through? You never find out!

i watched it last night too, my understanding is he didn't have any help cause he was letting himself out on a night through the tunels he'd dug? but then again i was being distracted by big boobs, hahaha

Might be worth putting a spoiler alert in the thread title for people like me who haven't seen the film yet, but now know the ending.

It's one of the best films I've seen. Only disappointment for me, being a bit of a sicko, is that the torture scene wasn't a bit more graphic. I think the film could have stood that.

I kind of agree with some of the people he wasted

but like most films of that type they make it so he goes just a bit too far so that in the end he has to go down!!

Same idea in the film "falling down".

The Uk retail version has been cut to hell, i saw a downloaded version and thought the torture scene was fine, just kept you thinking.

I loved the bit were the judge answered her mobile phone !!

The other half jumped out of her skin and though wine all over me lol

ok, for those who have yet to see the film, i'm going to give away a fairly sizeable spoiler, so don't read if you don't want to know

remember, this is a spoiler alert, and not the whale tail version either

what totally ruined the film for me was the bit where he gets an email from his DEAD FUCKING ASSISTANT!!!!!!!!!

HOW THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?

and then the plot sort of fell apart afterwards

what he should have done was booby trapped the places and jabbed them with the same nervy stuff he did with the guy he chopped up, and he should have blown up more shit

right up until that point, i was glued to the screen thinking "i'm missing something obvious" and then i found myself thinking "wtf?!"

brilliant film, spoiled by the last 20 minutes

and as for the accent, i didn't know if he was leonidis or a bit rocknrolla during the flim, but he played a blinder and a suffering parent

As far as i mind he was checking his dead assistants emails and the mail was to her from her boyfriend.
