My score would've been higher had the ending not been so terrible. It didn't even make sense and it was a huge cop out. Why spare Nick? It was still entertaining and pretty solid up to the end. I also had a hard time believing that the guy who sang the song "Do What It Do" could be a lawyer. Whatever, it's mindless fun.

Neither Butler (too whiny to be menacing) nor Foxx (bland) delivers in this one. The script feels incredibly dated. If you hate mediocrity, make sure to steer clear. On the other hand, if you're nostalgic about 90s-thrillers then this might just transport you back in time.

Okay, "Law Abiding Citizen" is absolutely absurd and you'll find a lot of unlogic things in it, even if you don't search but this movie is good. for just one reason. this family father did, what millions of people would love to do. to burn the hole corrupt and dirty system down to the ground. let everyone bleed for their wrong interpretation of justice..just let the right one die, only one time. It's a pity that the ending is inconsequent!!!

Way too far fetched and very predictable, with a terrible ending. Worst of all "Law Abiding Citizen" treads the line of moral ambiguity & dilemma as delicately as a hammer to the head! It's not completely without merit however, and has it's enjoyable moments, with Butler and Foxx both more than good enough. But when a script & plot are this poorly executed, with such lazily drawn characters, it is hard to admire this film too much. Likeable, but seriously flawed.

I was simultaneously bored to death and entertained by this film, something which doesn't happen very often. You're not really sure which side you're supposed to take and the film seems to make most up as it goes along. And don't tell me he dug that tunnel on his own, now that I can't abide...

A pretty decent thriller that could have been better had Butler superceded Foxx in screen time. Personally, I have a pretty gruesome mind, so I would have liked some more meticulous torture and killing scenes, so it really bothers me to see Hollywood pull the punches like this. But nothing tickles me like a righteous man torturing people.

The institutions of human justice are found wanting by a man possessing magical powers granted to him by the feeling of injustice. As a result, a representative of earthly law learns to reject fallible human justice and instead become a murderer himself, as the true path of salvation for the city. More importantly, as has long been established by Hollywood, all transgressions can ultimately be forgotten, so long as a father learns the importance of attending performances by his daughter.

Trying to have the "moral ambiguity" card as your central theme is completely ridiculous when the film is so over the top its laughable. Its as if LAC wants us to take it seriously...really? Bad script, bad acting, and plot holes galore are the least of this film's problems. The first 35min or so...ok you hooked me. Guilty.

Would have worked much better for me as a courtroom drama than a thriller, but its not surprising that the latter is what it is. Quite enjoyable nonetheless, I like Butler and Foxx both and the one court scene with Butler alone was enough to make the film worthwhile for me. I cannot dislike anything that carries such appropriate criticism of the American justice system, which is one of the worst in the western world no doubt.

It's objectively bad, but there's a rough sort of charm in the gore and absurdity, giant plot holes and all. Gerard Butler's character seems like an attempt to fuse Hannibal Lecter and Jigsaw from the Saw movies. It's definitely one of the most Republican-friendly movies I've seen in some time, with an actual, stated moral of "fuck civil rights!" But I guess everyone needs entertainment, so I won't hold that against it too much.

The first half of this movie is expcetional. However, Law Abiding Citizen tries to come off more clever than it really is, and in reality it gets less interesting closer and closer to the end of its run. That said, it was entertaining, and by no means was the second half horrible, but they could've taken this a lot more different directions. Butler and Foxx are obviously the stars and they do live up to it. Overall, it was actually better than I was expecting.

The premise was interesting enough and as a late-night TV time waster it worked fine. But the whole things seems to have been made from a "Can't we just wrap this up? I've got dinner reservation tonight" approach to movie making. Especially Foxx appears to wish himself far away.

However the first thirty or forty minutes were just breathtaking, the movie falls apart towards the end, which is just too bad. You sympathize with Butler's character and try to live his emotions to a certain level, hoping that everything works out for him. This way you just have to be disappointed with this ending.

Although the beginning is rather weak and distant, I walked away quite impressed. Gerard Butler as always was great, and the film worked through a number of script and character issues to be entertaining and a little thought provoking at the same time. However, the ending is rather unsatisfying and feels tacked on, to the detriment of the overall story. That aside, this is a pretty good film that merits seeing on account of its style and a fair amount of tension. Definitely exceeds expectations.

The first half of the movie was spectacular. You could never be sure of where it was going to go, the moves that he was making were wonderful. Gerard Butler's character extensively studied law, and I wish they'd done more with that in all honesty. By the time things started exploding, it was like the movie had burnt itself out and they ran out of new material. It stopped being interesting and became predictable, leaving you off with a very boring, standard finish. Yawn. Love Jamie Foxx' swagger.

Just total crap, plot makes littles sense and advocates for "Saw- like" ethics. Avenging white man decides to gruesomely kill his family's murderer and wipe out the Philadelphia Judicial System that failed their persecutions. Torture porn, advocation of libertarian/"conservative" right wing white male terrorist fantasies. Would be harmless if not for a current real world media climate preaching similar messages.

I'm sorry, but anyone who rates this movie poorly is a pretentious schmuck. This movie was really well done. Sure, it was a little unbelievable, but it kept me on the edge of my seat and interested and seemed somewhat relevant to our modern justice system. Here's one case where I let others' perceptions cloud my judgments, but I actually ended up liking the movie more than expected.

I came in with very low expectations for this movie and was pleasantly surprised. The story is rather interesting (just ignore plot holes) and surprisingly it isn't *too* predictable. On the other hand, the ending was lame and I just don't like Jamie Foxx as an actor much. It's fun and a lot of people will enjoy it.

Utterly ridiculous, yet so full of action. There's not a likable character in the entire film, but that may be the point. Truthfully I'm unsure what the point of this film is. All I know for sure is it's full of explosions, unintentionally hilarious scenes, a few intentionally funny scenes too, and some decent acting. It's ending is absolutely terrible, however. A pointless, somewhat fun film that ultimately leaves you asking yourself why you bothered watching it.

Silly but passable mash-up of FALLING DOWN and DEATH WISH is (hopefully) not meant to be taken too seriously, but still suffers from absurd gaps in logic and credibility which make the drama difficult to become invested in; everything plays out arbitrarily and there's not quite enough fire in the direction for this to work as a spin on, say, TAKEN sensibilities. Butler and Foxx make a great pair of antagonists, and are both fun to watch - they are really the chief reasons for watching this.

I remember sitting in an AP English Lit class and some dumbass was talking about how this movie was the smartest movie ever. But no, this is the type of movie that makes you want to grab all the benzos you can and all the booze you have and hope you just fucking die before you have to see another minute of it. It's just so shameful that MILLIONS are wasted on picture like this. It really puts a damper on wanting to do anything artistic if this is the type of drivel that is wanted.

Tries hard to be a tense revenge thriller, but the plot holes hit you so hard you miss the next 5 mins of the film because you're trying in your head to make sense of the nonsensical thing that just happened. Talented cast, but most of them are sleepwalking their way through shallow characters. A very forgettable film.

This movie made me angry. Seriously angry. I don't know who I was supposed to root for here, other than possibly Jamie Foxx's daughter (who was not at all loathsome, like everyone else in the movie). If you are not going to have sympathetic characters in a movie, the characters that you do have had better be damned compelling (No one in this movie is compelling).

Good premise, and strong first half. However the writing goes downhill quickly as it becomes clear that we actually aren't supposed to be rooting for Gerard Butler. A better second half would be Butler carrying out his plan, systematically killing off officials until finally doing away with Foxx's family; and then using his legal knowledge to get a deal for a light sentence, or otherwise find some way to get away with a slap on the wrist for a couple dozen murders. That would be a great film.

The story is pretty far fetched and unbelievable, but still clever and complicated. Classic story of injustice int he justice system, and vigilante justice dispensed in a novel way. Gerard Butler was a grieving husband mourning the loss of his wife and daughter to brutal killers. When justice is not served, he take the solution into his own capable and clever hands. Most of the story was pretty incredible, and the rest was pure fantasy. Still it was entertaining.

Very cliche. Not that I expected much, but it could've turned out nice - the story idea wasn't bad. The result, though, was your standard good-guy-after-bad-guy flick, with a not so original good guy and a not cool enough bad one. The dialogue was particularly awful, and the so-called 'twist' in the end couldn't really impress anybody. Finally, Jamie Foxx is not at all convincing as a DA; I guess he's played the cop so many times, he just can't shake it off.

It might have been interesting, if it hadn't been mired in all the possible cliche dialogues a la Dirty Harry, or if it hadn't been lazy for using all the tired ways to develop tension between the characters. It touches a subject (The seperation between justice and the legal system) that probably must not be dealt in such an infantile way, if you just want to do a thriller do a thriller. If you want to make people think, blowing cars and simple traps are not the way to go

This spurs an awful lot of mixed feelings. On the one hand it's a reactionary mess with a moral that is somehow both blunt and wishy-washy. On the other hand the message is subordinate to a tense thriller with some really exciting, if unbelievable, twists and turns. As a pure ride I enjoyed it a lot even as I was put off by what it was saying.

I have to admit, In this movie I am willing to partially forgive this movie of its faults for it really was just damned entertaining. The pacing works well and the viewer is very much kept on the edge of their seat with each act of vengeance. Yet, the film has a awkward sense of self-importance, unable to even decide what its absolute message is. The ending is really quite unsatisfying as well, mostly because the audience is largely unaware of Gerard Butler's sudden role shift to antagonist.

A repulsive film that feels like the kind of movie a 14 year old would write. Probably the kind of revenge fantasy for victim's rights if seen through the eyes of Falling Down, which at least had a sense of sarcastic intent. Another thing that disturbed me was the audience's reaction to the film. How does this garbage get greenlighted? At least Jamie Foxx did an okay job in his role, but it's not like they gave him much to work with. I even considered walking out on it. Avoid it.

That reminds me! Amazon have a sale on of fully weaponized bomb disposal robots, must take a look. Ok, this was supposedly a "thriller with a message", therefore it required you to THINK; and when you did you realise that this is actually a nasty little film. I can take "totally preposterous" scripts (like silently digging tunnels into every prison cell, or not padlocking your napalm down) but the idea of "people should take responsibility" then killing everyone is abhorrent, exp. after 10 yrs.

Dir cut. The low score I'm giving it has nothing to do with the decent acting. It's just a stupid story, though. Certainly the system has flaws but not as black and white as this movie makes this revenge fantasy seem. Dialogue and scenarios are too over the top. Fav scene: a decent showing of the confusion from victims when they don't understand the sentencing process.

This film showed a lot of promise and if it wasn't for such a weak ending, it could've been great. Such a shame.

Solid thriller, of course Phily PD won't be that easy to fool, but apart from being predictable at the later end, this is a very good action-crime-revenge combo.

I love these fast paced drama movies! Good story about choosing good or evil - when does avenging become evil? Too bad he gets caught in the end.

Sort of almost works. I rather like Gerard Butler's intensity. And... the movie logic mostly works. But... not really.

This movie is absolutely overrated. Something is missing in this movie. The protagonist just a stereotype of 21th century hero and story is also a cliche and boring.

You always know when to stay away from someone when they think Gerard Butler's actions in this movie were justified.

Really good build up from the start and then bit disappointing at end. But all in all decent thriller to watch if you are bored.

Strays a little too close to the torture porn line for my taste but the head to heads in the interrogation/interviews are good.

Hinted at becoming an interesting courtroom drama early on but settled for Death Wish via Saw (and a bit of Bourne). Pretty stupid and despite only watching it two days ago I can't remember the ending. Poor.

This movie should have been so much better. I can't put my finger on why it's bad, I think it has something to do with the fact that I can't decide if Bulter's character is supposed to be a villain or an anti-hero of some sort. The plot also went way off the rails towards the end.

Disturbing film with some atrocious ideas. Downright unbelievable things going on with some pretty big plot holes. Not recommended.

I usually like revenge movies, but this one is a bit ludicrous and convoluted in how it executes the payoff. Nevertheless, it's adequate.

A decent movie. But the whole film wants you to root for gerard butler for the first half, and switches to jamie foxx for the second half and conclusion. so I was a little dissapointed when he loses at the end, even though his endgame involved killed hundreds.

It's really over-the-top, but that can still be enjoyable. Gerard Butler's character is more scheming than your average Bond villain, only he doesn't have to contend with the world's greatest spy. Just Jamie Foxx.

Sooooo american there's no telling. At the beggining I had hope for it, but it became predictable, and empty, flashy. This film wanted me to like it, and it ruined it all. The guy really just gone mad, there's nothing else to it. senseless violence. On top of that, it's racist: All white guys are evil and kill and die, and in the end, the nigga lefts standing, victorious...lame. A few good scenes make it up for it just so you won't switch it off. And the ending...? Fuck, no. Don't watch this.

Preposterous and not even remotely fun or enjoyable. The acting here is abysmal, specially from Butler, who is supposed to be a sociopath but comes off completely as a good, nice person without an inch of crazyness nor lack of mental balance. And no, it's not done in purpose.
