"Law Abiding Citizen" Review
The movie "Law Abiding Citizen" was AWESOME!
This is my review for the movie “Law Abiding Citizen”. First off, I’d like to say that this movie was astonishing!
I’d like to begin my review with a small summary of the movie. A summary in which will NOT spoil any of the good parts. I’ll present just enough information so that you can get familiar with the plot, and to see if this movie sounds like the right movie for you.
The movie starts out with the main character, Clyde Shelton, being played by Gerald Butler, in his house, with his family. He answers the door to find two men that decide to knock him down, and tie him up. After brutally attacking him and his wife (along with doing “other stuff” do his wife), the two men spot the daughter of the family, and take her into another room, and kill her. The wife also ends up dying. Unfortunately, Clyde can’t give the person who murdered her daughter a harsh punishment because the evidence of her death being caused by his hand was not strong enough. So ten years after the murdering of his family, Clyde plans a very elaborate scheme to “bring down the system”. He plans the deaths of several people, while making sure that the evidence doesn’t add up to make him guilty. The lawyer, Nick Rice, played by Jamie Foxx, cannot prosecute him, because of the weak evidence (despite the fact that he knows that he murdered the people). So will Rice be able to prosecute the one that he knows murdered the many people? Just how well did Clyde perfect his plan? Will Rice step out of his jurisdiction to convict this murderer? And just how well does Clyde make a fool out of the Justice System?
Well, I can answer that last question! Clyde PWNS the justice system! This movie just goes to show that our system is not perfect. People can still go to jail, or be let free, despite the fact that the person may have did nothing or something wrong. And the main objective of Clyde is to completely dismantle the system, to the point in which the entire city gets into turmoil.
The elaborately planned murders, the wicked explosions, and the intense plot made this movie very memorable! But the part that I enjoyed the most was the act of slipping right through the loopholes of our justice system. This is definitely something that could happen in real life, but very unlikely. This movie also teaches the lesson that our justice system is not perfect. And Clyde was the perfect example of the system’s imperfections. The events that happened ten years prior, and his schemes really helped prove this fact.
After pondering for a long time, I came to the conclusion that there is nothing in this movie that is worth mentioning in this review, that I found was negative. Well, now that you think about it…some of the murders were kind of sick…So I official give the movie “Law Abiding Citizen” a 10 out of 10!
