Netflix offers a sequel to the movie Reaction

In Justice Be Done, Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx take part in an intense duel. Butler plays a widow, Clyde Shelton, whose family was brutally murdered. Because Nick Rice, the prosecutor in charge of the case (Fox), allows the killer to serve an overly light sentence, the family man launches a sophisticated plan of revenge. He is arrested and then sows terror with bombs from prison …

At the box office, Justice Be Done was a resounding success. With a budget of $ 50 million, it generated nearly $ 127 million worldwide. More than 235,213 people went to see it in French cinemas at the time.

Despite very dubious morals, this thriller, where the protagonist becomes vigilant, continued to gather fans. When it hit the Netflix catalog in the United States in early December 2021, it immediately became the second most watched movie of the week.

This play undoubtedly played a part in the decision to suddenly continue this thriller after 13 years. Note, however, that the film is not currently available in France.

Not surprisingly, Gerard Butler is behind this new project. He himself will train law-abiding citizen 2. Screenwriter Kurt Wimmer (Equilibrium), who has already written the first opus, will also return. As well as producer Lucas Foster.

For the time being, the conspiracy is still shrouded in mystery. But Lucas Foster announced as soon as the project was announced that he was looking forward to “these great characters” – and the plural would only return to Nick Rice and, of course, Clyde Shelton.

But this raises the question …
