Law abiding citizen

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2009)

This was a great example of how and why the law sucks as it does. To have criminals set free to do a crime again after they are released even by turning on their so called friends, was an excellent example of how the lower life forms have become less than human. But the lawyer's who work with them are just as lowly themselves getting them released in the first place. Gerard Butler was fantastic as a father who lost his family to two thugs who did not give a rats ass to life. And seeing the justice system fail to such a degree, would give any person the right idea to do it themselves. He plays a high level think tank, a person who comes up with the most imaginative ways to kill anyone without leaving traces behind to link him to the deed. A secret operative who more or less retired to live his life with his daughter and wife, only to be erased from existence from cockroaches. But his resolve was to wipe out the trace elements who gave one of the killers freedom just after serving three years for doing the actual killing, and the cohort being executed who did nothing except watch. Yet in the end it was sad to see Gerards character die, it should have been the lawyer who should have been in his place. Though without a family it would be a lonely existence for Gerards Character. This was a great film in many forms, and also a great example of how the law is failing badly to those who really need the justice system to work.
