A Disappointment...

Rating: 4/10 (2 February 2010)

F.Gary Gray's 'Law Abiding Citizen' disappoints. Reason: The Idea is is interesting, but the writing isn't. The film starts off really well, but becomes a mess later on.
Thrillers, according to me, are the best movie genre ever! It has the potential "If Wirtten Well' to keep you hooked. Some thrillers become iconic, while some end-up being one-time watchers. 'Law Abiding Citizen' is one of those thrillers, which you forget right after it's done. Kurt Wimmer is surely the culprit here, his writing in the final 30-minutes falls flat & how!
Gray's direction is not up-to the mark. He's not in from. Performance wise, Jamie Foxx is okay. Gerard Butler gets a powerful & he does full justice to it. He's in terrific form. Viola Davis is wasted. Leslie Bibb is passable. Regina Hall gets no scope. Others are adequate.
All said n done, 'Law Abiding Citizen' isn't half as good as it's box office returns.
