Horribly violent. Morally bankrupt. Batshit from the first minutes. And I say that as someone that liked Law Abiding Citizen.\\xa0

This time I chatted to the delightful Harris Dang, all the way from Australia, about this B-movie thriller from 2009. Gerard Butler plays Clyde Shelton, a mysterious man seeking revenge a decade after his wife and child were brutally murdered in a home invasion. His target isn\\u2019t just Ames and Darby, the two killers; he\\u2019s also after Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), the prosecuting attorney who cut a deal with the most sadistic of the two.

We discuss our own personal jump-the-shark moments in a movie Rotten Tomatoes rather unfairly called \\u201cunflinchingly absurd\\u201d; the bizarre Duxiana beds prison product placement; and \\u2014 in a film crammed with gruesome and very different killings \\u2014 which death is the best death.

Plus: put Paddington in the next Has Fallen movie, you cowards!

My usual warning: this episode is very spoilery (with a synopsis at the start if you need to recap)
