Very good action-thriller

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2009)

In a world of films that are either too brutal or too special effects laden, it is nice to see a film like Law Abiding Citizen. It is not too brutal, and is only brutal in some parts, and that brutality works. The film starts out with two dangerous men with baseball bats breaking into a nice family's house and killing Clyde (Gerald Butler)'s family. Fast forward, and one of the men is out of jail, and Clyde is more than aware of that. After the trauma that Clyde experienced, he decides to kill the one who is set free. He tells his story to Nick (Jamie Foxx), a man who formally refused to do anything about the short sentence one of the brutal men got. Now Clyde is in prison, and is killing all the people who had to do with his arrest because he finds it unfair that he gets put away longer than one of the men who killed his family. The film all builds to a great climax, and it never skips a beat. From the first second to the last, Law Abiding Citizen is a very good and very tense action thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the acting is fantastic, too. I definitely urge you to see Law Abding Citizen ASAP.
