good movie

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2018)

I really liked Law Abiding Citizen. The core of the movie is about how the justice system have been perverted into a bureaucratic mess which has very little connection what every day people actually think is just.
Enter the charismatic anti-hero Clyde who believes he has been wronged by the system and with the power to do something about it. He is nicely portrayed by Butler and most people will probably root for him even though his actions which starts out relatable and understandable slowly escalates into complete madness.
At the other side is the ambitious attorney Rice who Clyde blames for cutting a unjust deal with murderers a long time ago. There is a underlying theme of the attorneys being self-serving and more interested in their stats than doing the job but they are all portrayed as good people at heart. I liked Foxx performance of the attorey and overall i thought everyone in the cast did an excellent job.
Clyde begins a long sequence of attacks on the justice systems which continues even after he is put behind bars. It all really fun and suspenseful however it starts to become a bit silly towards to end and the ending itself felt rushed and especially silly. I have no idea about the layout of the city the movie is set in but if you can't disarm a bomb it seems more reasonable to dispose of it somewhere it can not hurt anyone as fast as possible instead of getting it to the prison and hiding it under Clyde bed ....
With all said and done it was a fun movie which i would recommend and if they have toned down the later parts a bit and concluded the story better it could have been more than just a fun movie.
