2. The protagonist in the movie.Why?
In my opinion Nick Rise is the protagonist character in this movie. Eventhough in the starting he is bad person because he make a deal with wrong person to win the case or to stay on his conviction rate but it change in by movie goes. I said he is protagonist because he is caring or loving father. In the movie he had told to Shelton don't touch his wife and daugther. This show that he is loving father and loving husband towards his family. In addition, is he very care about his partner work that named Sarah went Sarah died by bomb planted within her car gastank. Next, he is goal oriented or workholic person. He managed to get high conviction rate in along his win the casses in work. Until one case he make deal with Darby the murderer to make sure his rate still remain in high place. Next, is he is very concerned with his work until he did not came to see his daughter performance. Even though his daughter very hope that her father give support to her during her performance. Lastly,he is intelligent people. But in wrong decision making. We can see in the movie he managed to solve any casses give to he. Make until he reach 96% conviction rate during his work. At the first movie he make deal with murder person in order to keep his conviction rate maintain. This show he make wrong decision in order to maintain his higher rate.
3. The antagonist in the movie.Why?
In this movie I think Clyde Shelton is the antagonist character. At the first movie he is a good father their family live in happy conditions but something had crash their family thats make him change to bad. He is hot-tempered person. He get angry to the judge in the court while they doing proceeding about him. Other than that, he doing all his planned in creepy way. In terms to killed everybody that involve in. Next, he is intelligent because he is the best spy. He managed to make his own strategies that over 10 years. He also managed to make trickery to the Nick about himself. Then he pretend to be like crazy person. He also brave,he doing in own self all the murder. All his planned very cruel. He like revenge back what all of them do to him but in a cruel way.
4.Why does Clyde decide not to kill Nick Rice?
In my opinion, Clyde decide not to kill Nick Rice because he want Nick to teach or give lessons to Nick about law,justice to be fair among people. Other than that, is to make Nick no longer to care about his higher rate more but towards who is wrong is wrong and who is true is true. Then maybe Clyde think that Nick also have daughter and wife like him before so he don't want that family Nick loss Nick if he killed Nick. The situation will same to he if Nick died,his daughter will loss her father.
5. Based on your understanding, what is the motive behind the killings done by Clyde?
In my understanding, the motive behind the killings done by Clyde is because he want to show that justice is important. The judge must give fairly decisions toward offender. Them cannot make unfair decision because we as citizen have the right to get true decision from them. Other than that, he want to revenge back in all what they have do to him. He want protect back dignity of his family because his wife and daughter had died. He want to show that if the court people don't give fair decision the citizen can do anything to get the right.
