As an anticipated movie, Law Abiding Citizen got the job done without the letdown. Gerard Butler who recently stared in Gamer, has a much better movie roll in this drama/thriller. Gerard’s character, (Clyde Shelton), is a man that has lost his family to murder only to watch the killers make a deal with the Judicial system that didn’t meet up with Clyde’s expectations of real justice; heads roll from there.
Smart and well thought through movie, unfortunately the trailers give a lot of the suspense away to the anticipation of Clyde’s next move. Never-the-less, this movie has its wow and ‘OMG’ moments.
Final thoughts … It was a tough decision on this review because there wasn’t much that I didn’t like in this film and I didn’t feel too bad paying to see this movie, but even with ‘all’ the ‘excellentness‘ this film has to offer, there’s really nothing anyone’s going to miss on a smaller screen if they wait for the DVD.
