Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2010)

This movie really wins my trophy. It's focused on a father, Clyde, who gets beaten and his wife and daughter are killed by 2 crooks. However the crooks' punishment was dimmed down because of a deal made by the lawyer, Jamie Fox. 10 years later, Clyde decides to take out the entire corrupt justice system and does so in manners to where he can get his way with the system. This movie is generally aimed at the adult crowd being that there are really no fantasy characters or anything that would call for the younger crowd.
This movie really keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the main character Clyde really makes this movie something memorable and just extraordinary. Clyde devises sneaky and cunning ways by taking down his victims and the whole sense on whether he is the hero or villain also adds to the excitement. My favorite part of the movie is when Clyde calls the crook on the phone and tells him that the cops are after him and lets him know how to get away without being caught. Towards the end of the conversation he tells him to take a police car that is parked near the river because there is a cop sleeping in it. He basically sets the man up because he turns out to be that police officer that is about to murder him. You can compare Clyde to the Joker pretty much, but in my opinion 10 times better. Jamie Fox also does a great job playing his character, a heroic yet corrupt lawyer.
Every scene you will be wondering what will happen next, because you honestly won't know. The movie has a few twists and turns and will always keep you guessing. If you want to see something that is highly suspenseful, will keep you on the edge of your seat, and includes 2 very unique and questionable characters, then you must see this movie. Law Abiding Citizen will not disappoint and I would recommend everyone to watch it.
