Law Abiding Citizen
I’ve recently watched the Law Abiding Citizen and all I could say is hands down to Gerard Butler. From a fearless Spartan King, to a jerk-y date doctor, and now a vengeful tactical murderer, I’d say Gerard pulled it off. Even with all the impossibilities implicated on the film, it’s a one of a kind charade of how one man can take matters in his own hands.
By far, all the reviews I’ve read on the film are filled with negativity. I say TO HELL WITH THEM! I mean, yeah, most of the scenarios were almost humanly impossible to do, but that’s not the point! It’s the aura that Gerard puts on the film’s antagonist, or protagonist ,rather. No, wait…Whoa! I’m still confused. Mainly because every successful murder that he did just made you want to side with him more. Here’s a guy whose family was murdered, and the cons responsible didn’t get the punishment they deserved, all because of the f***ed up justice system. This makes Clyde Shelton’s (Gerard Butler) mission more than just an act of vengeance. He declares war on the city’s judiciary itself.
The movie was filled with surprises, and it went beyond the boundaries of what a normal film would do. It was a mix of movie genres as well. A few minutes in to the film, I thought for a moment I was watching a scene from the Saw series. Trying to be unbiased, since I became a fan of Gerard ‘coz of 300, I’d give the movie a 4 out of 5.
Great recommended reads from around our network?
