Law Abiding Citizen

“You can’t fight fate.”

When it comes to cinema, you either have movies that are just plain bad or movies that are epic. Law Abiding Citizen is an epic movie. The movie is about Clyde Shelton whose family is murdered by two men who broke into his house. After one criminal is released, Clyde decides to go after the people who set him free. The rest of the movie is a intense ride of suspense and action.

This is an epic movie every way you look at it. The actors are superb at making you believe in their causes. In my opinion, this is Gerard Butler’s best performance. He really makes you feel the pain of losing a family and the hatred for the people involved in their deaths. His performance is so great that it keeps you riveted to your seat throughout the entire plot.

The movie is entertaining from start to finish. There are no drag points although there might be a few loopholes in the story. The movie doesn’t waste time getting into the story and the ending is incredible. Over all, this movie is highly entertaining and worth being seen. I give it 4 out of 5.

Not much, there is a rap scene in the beginning but it cuts away before anything is shown.

There is a woman who is lying in a bed in her underwear.

Gerard Butler is nude in one scene.

Violence/Gore

The violence in this movie is very brutal and realistic.

There is a torture scene that contains some blood.

A man is stabbed in the neck, lots of blood shown.

A woman is shot in the head, gore and brain matter is shown.

A woman is in blown up in a car.

Some people are shot with blood shown.

Profanity

There is a lot of R-rated language in this movie.

Several F-bombs and other curse words are used frequently.

Frightening/Intense scenes

All the violence in this movie is intense and can be frightening to some. A man videotapes himself torturing and killing a man and then sends the tape to a man’s family. A little girl watches the tape and screams, this scene is very intense and emotional, could frighten some. This movie is not for younger people.
