Vigilantism or Madness

Rating: 6/10 (10 June 2018)

Silly, implausible and entertaining. 'Law Abiding Citizen' is all that. It is helluva entertaining, fast paced and it actually buts your brain to work while watching although it all falls apart in retrospect, but who cares - it was fun. Wasn't it? Some critics complained that the film is unnecessarily violent. I personally don't think that - 'Law Abiding Citizen' pales compared to some other highly praised films (Tarantino). It has it's gory moments but they fit into the films overall tone perfectly. The chemistry between two leads Jamie Foxx (Nick) and Gerard Butler (Clyde) is magnetic while these two are engaged with cat and mouse play where the line between good and evil (wright or wrong) by the end of the film is pretty thin. There are many pleasant surprises and plot twist along the way, and I like how they keep avoid predictability.
Add rich supporting cast with stellar character actors and clean directing style by F. Gary Gray, you get enjoyable fast paced thriller.
