It seems that there were a lot of critics who didn't care for it. They had a good point that thf plot was unrealistic, bug like I have said before, anything is possible, so the scenario has a good probability of occurring in real life. It's basically about the bad winning over the good and the internal conflict of turning to the bad. It addresses the issues of justice and the political structure around the movie. A line from the movie that is so true is "it's not what you know, but what you can prove." Even in justice it's about winning an argument persuasively. Evidence speaks for itself. I really enjoyed the movie. I was surprised to see that Butler produced the movie, which is probably why he got the role. If someone else took the script, I don't think the producers would have thought "hey, let's get Gerard Butler to play this guy. He looks like he could do crazy like nobody else." Surprisingly, Butler is amazing at playing a cold calculating destroyed man who loses his mind. I would live to see him play these kind of roles more often. I may even think he could do horror. I think Butler could do anything and make it sexy. I think this movie should be given a chance. Fiction isn't supposed to depict reality exactly how it is, and the way the world and our political structures change in times like now, it doesn't seem too farfetched that someone brilliant will turn against all that we know and challenge it.
