This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Silly, implausible and entertaining. 'Law Abiding Citizen' is all that. It is helluva entertaining, fast paced and it actually buts your brain to work while watching although it all falls apart in retrospect, but who cares - it was fun. Wasn't it? Some critics complained that the film is unnecessarily violent. I personally don't think that - 'Law Abiding Citizen' pales compared to some other highly praised films (Tarantino). It has it's gory moments but they fit into the films overall tone perfectly. The chemistry between two leads Jamie Foxx (Nick) and Gerard Butler (Clyde) is magnetic while these two are engaged with cat and mouse play where the line between good and evil (wright or wrong) by the end of the film is pretty thin. There are many pleasant surprises and plot twist along the way, and I like how they keep avoid predictability. Add rich supporting cast with stellar character actors and clean directing style by F. Gary Gray, you get enjoyable fast paced thriller.

The only part i think would have been much fun to make up would have been that character of Jami Foxx should have also been killed that purpose would have brought real justice to the people how exploit there clients over there own benefits.

F. Gary Gray directs 'Law Abiding Citizen (2009)' with flair - an early scene intercutting a botched execution with a child's cello concert is cinematically interesting if out of place - and the script itself has enough to keep you engaged -the beginnings of an intriguing morality-play buried beneath its messier outer layers - that you won't forget it immediately. Still, the moral ambiguity it aims for is a little out of reach considering its 'relatable' antagonist frequently murders innocent people and that several implausible, sometimes downright stupid moments break the illusion that this is anything other than a fairly generic, and occasionally disproportionately violent, thriller. 6/10

'Law Abiding Citizen' has all the right ideas but its on-screen execution is nothing short of a mess. The film starts off well enough and sets up a plausible scenario, only to undo all of its efforts by going down the 'make it up as you go along' route, with the second half of the film being nothing short of silly and amateurish. It jumps from one far-fetched scenario to another, before falling flat on its face with a ridiculous ending.There's enough going on to hold your attention throughout, but the second half of the film is so unconvincing that it becomes just another comic-book style action flick with zero depth or substance to any of what happens. It's disappointing given the potential that this film had and the promise that is showed in the first half or so. 'Law Abiding Citizen' is a watchable action flick, but the second half is way too far-fetched to be taken seriously.
