Wronged man does right

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2014)

Finally here's a film that really shows the justice system for what it really is, and the frustration of the victims who've lost their loved ones the account of scum. The story puts a new after twist for the catalyst, and for it's originality factor, makes it a film that's super intriguing and exciting, if a little daring. If only justice could be delivered the way, wronged victim (Gerard Butler) who witnessed his wife and kid being slaughtered (and the movie doesn't waste any time, showing this scene) the world would be a better and safer place, or on the flip side of that coin, could make it a world of turmoil and mayhem. This film shows us how justice should really work. Plea bargains suck and in this case they really suck, where the real murderous hand gets off, with an easy sentence, where justice is delivered supremely on this victim, thanks to the methodical and calculating mind ex CIA expert, Butler. The much weaker, younger, and vulnerable killer may turn you off executions, where his equipment is corrupted with. LAC is a purely a vengeance tale, straight down, where everyone associated with Butler's trial the trail, pays, unavoidably escaping Butler's searing vengeance. The way a female magistrate buys it, is a killer. I really hadn't heard of Gerald Butler, thinking that he was a newbie, until this film, realizing he's been around (300, Timeline) the latter a movie I wished I'd never seen. Some of the scenes of vengeance are bloody brutal like that of the main killer, whose remains are a butcher show, plus an inmate getting stabbed by Butler who becomes incarcerated, but still has his people do his work outside. I must say the last fifteen minutes were preposterous, but what's a movie without a bit of escapism, and this is indeed the perfect vehicle for that. Lovers of revenge, this is your type of flick, which will probably satisfy you, the way those Spit On My Grave movies do. I know that main perpetrator, would be a grave, I'd definitely spit on.
