Bail Equals Freedom | |
| Shaft (2000) / int_2364f0d0 | comment |
Bail Equals Freedom: Averted, which is surprising considering how fast and loose they are with the law in the rest of the movie. When Christian Bale's character jumps (no pun intended) bail by flying to Switzerland, he is immediately arrested the moment he sets foot back on American soil. Of course, he ends up getting released on bail by the judge again (highly unlikely in Real Life, given that he's proven himself a flight risk), making the whole exercise pointless, except as an example of what an entitled Jerkass the character is. His lawyer argues that taking away his passport is enough to eliminate him as a flight risk. The judge agrees... cue Bale's character calling Shaft from Switzerland to make fun of him. It's made blatantly clear that Bale's character's father is a very influential man, and the judge is making all the wrong calls either because he's in the father's pocket or someone higher up is. The victim's mother shoots Wade to death on the courthouse steps as he's leaving. | |

All for Nothing: We never find out if Ms. Palmieri's testimony would have actually done anything to put Wade in jail, because Trey's mom (fed up with Wade evading justice repeatedly) just blows him away at the film's closure before they can even bring him into the courthouse. | |
