Just "Law and Order" Episode for Big Screen

Rating: 6/10 (13 December 2009)

Law Abiding Citizen is a story of a man whom his family were brutally murdered, then after being let down by the court, decides to give all the people involved a lesson. (he said it's not a vengeance, but I believe it is).
And because he's so damn smart, he confesses his crimes, thrown to jail, even kept in the solitary cell and he can still killing people.
So, it was "Death Wish" meet "Silence of the Lambs", a genius and very angry guy who has all the skill needed to wipe out the entire city if he has to and also do his homework so he can play well in the game of law, is aiming to balance score and even want to 'fix' the corrupt system.
This premise is so promising but does not live the hype because the script is weak. After his 3rd victims, he (I may say the script writer) has become uncreative and predictable which make me feel like watching another episode of "Law and Order" TV series.
After watching the movie, I keep thinking why they didn't make his family murder as a conspiracy. So after his revenge to all those thugs, he start killing people who give the order one by one, and the DA has to use all of his resources to unfold the conspiracy, discover his method before this 'hannibal' gets him too at last. This way, the story can be kept unpredictable and amusing than targeting government officials as sitting ducks and saying that it's not a vengeance.
And if he's so damn genius, why he can't figure out a simple fact that killing all the gov't official will not bring the system down or even fix it?. They will simply be replaced by another official, and then what? kill em all again and again?
So, this film execution itself is fine but lacks of a good & strong script, which make me give 6/10. Sorry for my English.
