It was Good, Not Biblical

"Law Abiding Citizen" my ass more like "Saddam Husseining Citizen"

Walking into this movie there was an odd feeling in the air that this might be just another action movie with an awful plot line and a bunch of horrible actors and the only thing good about it would be the somewhat cool action scenes. Luckily the feeling walking out of the theaters would be completely opposite to the feeling walking in.

Law Abiding Citizen is about Clyde Shelton ( Gerard Butler) whose wife and little girl were killed. Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) was unable to put both killers in jail. So Clyde seeks justice for the rest of his life, in whatever way is necessary. The entire movie is trying to create a political statement about the justice system and how blah blah blah now for the action.

The script writers in this movie were not amateurs at killing people, they had it figure out quite well in fact. Some of the killing tools used in this movie could sit on the same murder trial case as the ones in Saw. If Clyde wants you dead you're dead it might be a gun that makes you paralyzed so he can chop you up or he could put a bullet in your cell phone that would take a huge chunk out of your head or he might even puncture your jugular with a T-bone from a steak. He will fuck you up ... oddly it makes for a good movie.

The movie fit into an unorthodox category of a murder mystery where you already know who the bad guy is and yet it is still extremely suspenseful. The acting in the movie had its flaws especially when Gerard decided every so often that he was in 300 again and turned on his accent. Jamie Foxx did a marvelous job playing his character of Nick Rice. The only real flaw in the writing of the script was that they killed the hot girl and the only piece of eye candy left in the movie was Jamie Foxx's middle aged wife.

At some parts in the movie it is about as realistic as Twilight Zone, I mean come on (Spoiler Alert) there is no way in hell that a prisoner, who has been creating a circus of the justice system, would be able to escape from solitary confinement everyday. Then, when the entire city is being locked down Mr. "I will fuck you up" can walk out of his jail cell and waltz straight into city hall and then, after being searched and frisked can still assemble and plant a bomb that would blow up city hall.

Although the movie was not the best I had ever seen it did a very good job. The movie did have some flaws of an unreal plot line and a bad accent changing actor but for the most part I was pleasantly surprised at the finished product.

Overall Rating: S-A-B-r-e
