Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) sees his wife and child murdered and raped by Clarence Darby (Christian Stolte). Prosecutor Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) is Clyde's lawyer but witnesses him shake hands with Darby's lawyer. Rupert Ames (Josh Stewart) was executed thru lethal injection, but is wrongfully accused. The soundtrack was descent and direction was sometimes all over. Butler however depicts a man in pain eager to prove a point about the justice system. The beginning was interesting though the near conclusion runs dry. Law Abiding Citizen is worthy viewing for its unique concept though the lead went too far in the end.	Rating of 2.5/4

This movie was actually kind of fun. Is it a cliche oh heck yeah. But it does have some pretty inventive ways of killing off some people and some of the ways the villain is able to do the things that he does. The acting is also very solid with the exception of a certain mayor. Overall this is worth a watch.

Law Abiding Citizen Review
This movie was amazing. Kept me thinking and guessing the whole time. Like I said before Gerard Butler's best performance was in 300. But his performance in this movie was kick ass, he was amazing I rank this movie closely with 300. Jamie Foxx did ok with what he had to work with he played a believeable character. This movie is a shot of adernaline straight to the brain. This movie is greatly made had time and effort put into to. There's scenes in this movie that go over the top that make this movie so much more better. This movie is different you don't see movies like this one all the time. The supporting cast was ok did good with what they had to work with. This movie deliveres tour de force performances from it's two leads in there cat and mouse game. This movie is going to be more opi...	Rating of 3/4

Gerald Butler is becoming a star!!
Law Abiding Citizen does not fail to bring intensity and intelligence. The movie was great: good character development, great action, good suspense and the plot is alluring. Clyde Shelton, Gerard Butler's character, is surprising likable even with all his misdeeds; I found myself rooting for him at the end. I thought he did a fantastic job with this character – Clyde Shelton was chillingly intelligent and charismatic. The movie shed light on the corruption and problems with the legal system and how one man decides to fight back. Although his actions were extreme, he got his message across and his justice served. Jamie Fox's character, Nick Rice was slightly conceited and not very likable; however he does learn his lesson. As a whole the movie was entertaining and good; however… ***SPO...	Rating of 3.5/4
