.: Law Abiding Citizen :.

The man who has lost everything.....

... is capable of anything!





It is me or is Gerard Butler on a roll?

Three movies this so far; The Ugly Truth (comedy/romance), Gamer (action/sci-fi/thriller) & Law Abiding Citizen(drama/thriller).

I must say I thoroughly enjoy Law Abiding Citizen, as much as I have enjoyed The Ugly Truth.

Gerard has really displayed his talents and ability to act in different roles.

*warning : may contain spoilers*

Law Abiding Citizen started off with Clyde whose wife and young daughter was mercilessly murdered right in front of him during a burglary.

And due to a loophole in the justice system, when the killer (Darby) was caught, he got a away with third-degree murder in exchange for having to testify against his accomplice; who was framed for he did not commit the murder.

Nick (Jamie Foxx) was the prosecutor at that time, and, against Clyde's will, accepted this settlement and did not pursuit further in court.

Ten years later, Darby was found brutally murdered (and when I say brutally, I mean, brutally). It's almost like a scene from Final Destination!

Clyde was caught, admitted guilt and was put away in prison.

But.... one by one, the people who are involved in the trial was murdered.

First - the executor.

Next - the judge.

And it went on and on.

All this while Clyde was still behind prison. And Clyde cooly admit that he is orchestrating all this and threaten Nick that he will continue to kill more until the flawed justice system is fixed..


Well, Nick did all he could to outwit the Clyde (whom we discover was a secret "Think Tank" agent for the government, hence his expertise in coming up ways to kill people without being there).

And of course,in the end, as always, good wins over evil.

But in this case, one can't help but wonder what is good and what is evil?

In a way, this movie made me think - it's one of those deep thought provoking movies. The world is indeed unfair. Systems are flawed. There are always loopholes that allows the bad guy to get away with what he or she does. And that is why there are many people who are not accountable for their own actions.

But then again, we do not play God by taking it into our own hands. Afterall, these people may not be accountable for their actions now, but God is ALWAYS watching every single move we make. And shouldn't we be more fearful of that?

Anyways, the 1 hours 45 minutes movie was worth every single penny (not that I paid for it - many thanks again Nuffnang!) and I would recommend everyone to watch this!
