Love It

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2013)

Law Abiding Citizen is an amazing movie. It keeps you guessing and interested through ought the entire movie, up until the ending. Kurt Wimmer did such a good job with all the surprises Gerard Butler's character plans out and builds his character amazingly well as the movie progresses, but once his secret has been revealed it goes downhill from there. It's extremely improbable that Jamie Foxx's character would be able to out-smart "the best of the best" when it comes to planned murders. Butler's character has been set up in a way which leads us to believe he notices everything. He doesn't notice that Foxx is slowly creeping up to him? It just doesn't add up to me.
Overall, AMAZING movie. It keeps you guessing and wanting to know more and more. Gray did an amazing job as director and is perfectly filmed for Butler to thrive. The only complaint I have is the stereotypical ending. If you haven't seen this movie already, you definitely should.
