Law-abiding Citizens
For this movie, I specially registered an account to talk about my views, hoping to find friends who share my views.
Many people think that Nick is the one who should be killed the most. Personally disagree.
The protagonist's desire for revenge is relieved after he dismembers the main culprit. All subsequent actions stem from anger and hatred for the outdated and loopholes judicial system and to achieve a more profound purpose...
He does not hesitate to spend 10 years planning revenge The plan, while studying the judicial system, allows him to talk to Nick in the confession room without leaving any loopholes, and even be his own defense attorney. He had already realized that Nick was not on the side of evil that he had seen. But he knew that in the face of the broken judicial system, Nick did not dare to take risks even though he knew the facts and the truth in his heart. In the end, he chose to compromise between the settlement rate and justice.
The protagonist also knows that he cannot subvert the entire system by himself, so he chooses to shape a person who can defend justice. Nick was not, but he knows that Nick wants to do it. That's why he's killing the judge, why he's killing the mayor's attorney general. In this way, Nick can naturally rise to a higher level in politics and achieve a certain dominance in the judiciary. He made deals with Nick time and time again, which is to make Nick realize again and again that making deals with criminals will only make tragedies happen again and again.
Killing innocent people is not what the protagonist wants. However, angry and desperate, he believes that a series of bloody lessons must be used to guide the inspector named Nick on the path of true justice. In the film, if I remember correctly, the protagonist shows a deep sense of guilt after killing at least two times.
As mentioned above, if the protagonist just wants simple revenge, he doesn't need such a long time to plan. With his ability, he doesn't even need to go to prison, he can let the police wait for his trial one by one without evidence. those whom he considers guilty. But why did he choose to implement such a massive plan with Nick at the center? If he sees Nick as an accomplice to the criminal, why not put Nick in the first few steps of the plan and kill him?
Yes, the protagonist is waiting for Nick's last words, "I will not deal with murderers again".
So that when he finally saw the bomb he made, he didn't have too much surprise or too much fear. What he showed was only repentance and liberation. He had already reported his determination to die, and only hoped that there would be an upright prosecutor who would stand up to defend justice.
The ending is perfect. After the death of the protagonist's wife and children, he is left with only despair and hatred in this world, but he used his own death in exchange for the people's hope for justice...
Good actor, good script, good director ...very good movie!

If you think about it, you can understand if you don’t just get blinded by revenge.
Also, I personally guess that the last email was sent by himself.
