Good movie to watch. Quite intriguing and enjoyable a thoroughly entertaining movie. Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx, good combination, well acted with a decent enough story line. Unfortunately gets let down by it’s predictability, gets a little thin near the end for me but then that’s Hollywood for you…..

This is a tough film to review. The basics of the story is that Gerard Butler's wife and daughter are savagely raped and killed by a psychopath named Darby. Ames, his accomplice is sent to death, only to have something go wrong and instead of the painless death arranged by lethal injection, something goes wrong and we endure his wracking death. Jamie Fox is the Assistant DA who arranged the deal so that Darby would serve 3 years for his part, while Ames gets the death sentence. As we stand on the courthouse steps and view Fox and Butler, we get a bird's eye view on a criminal justice system that places too much value on percentage convictions, and to little on justice and morality.
True, everyone fantasizes on revenge. But stop, just for one minute and think of what Gerard's character could have been doing (positively for society and himself) for those 10 years if he hadn't of concocted this revenge plot successfully. If there is any moral to this story it is about what the death penalty does to our society. I didn't like the film, but it was very good. 4/5

alright this movie is very interesting from start to finish. How the defandant fights for his rights by himself but come 2 find out hes been planning this for a very long time.It's fun to watch how he plays the system because hes spent so much time studying the laws and reading between the lines of the laws. Every aspect of this movie is great 10/10 been a long time since ive seen a movie this good

...This movie would be a real treat...

I enjoy'd this movie really much and i must say that i find my self wondering - why this good movie had to end so badly. The characters are good and there is no question why... Jamie is good and no need to say that Gerard is one of the best "new" actors in "the market". Also the story is good and even better is the story telling, but this is only my opinion.

The best that i can say is: if you have seen "Taking of Pelham123" and liked that movie, then you will also like this one. And both of these movies have two things in common, they both were good movies, with bad endings...

I don't want to be critical and also don't want to say much good things about this movie, because this one of these movies what go to the department of "have to see it my self" And I'm about 75% sure that you will enjoy this movie. But once again, what a shame about the ending...

This is a good movie to watch.

Law Abiding Citizen is based on an everyday guy who decides to take justice into his own hands after a plea bargain sets his family's killers free.

After watching half way through this film I must admit I knew how this movie was going to end. Even though the movie is good the ending is predictable.

Clyde Shelton is an upstanding family man whose wife and daughter are brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the killers are caught, Nick Rice, a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor, is assigned to the case. Over his objections, Nick is forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice. Fast forward ten years. The man who got away with murder is found dead and Clyde Shelton coolly admits his guilt. Then he issues a warning to Nick: Either fix the flawed justice system that failed his family, or key players in the trial will die. Soon Shelton follows through on his threats, orchestrating from his jail cell a string of spectacularly diabolical assassinations that can be neither predicted nor prevented. Philadelphia is gripped with fear as Shelton's high-profile targets are slain one after another and the authorities are powerless to halt his reign of terror. Only Nick can stop the killing, and to do so he must outwit this brilliant sociopath in a harrowing contest of wills in which even the smallest misstep means death. With his own family now in Shelton's crosshairs, Nick finds himself in a desperate race against time facing a deadly adversary who seems always to be one step ahead.

wow. anamzing film with an amazing cast! Gerard Butler steal the show though. His portrayal of a mastermind villain out for revenge is truly amazing! Jamie Foxx is great as the DA! A brilliant film with a brilliant ending! Some very memorable scenes and amazing filming. One of the best thrillers I've seen

Law Abiding Citizen is the very good thriller movie...
Its full of suspense..
Acting is v.good.
A well planned story excluding last...
The ending of the movie would have been better....

A frustrated man decides to take justice into his own hands after a plea bargain sets one of his family's killers free. He targets not only the killer but also the district attorney and others involved in the deal is the story line...

Overall, a good movie.. :)
