Watchable,if not predictable, film about an average man's twisted trip for revenge after the justice system fails him. The film gets stranger as it goes along and Gerard Butler just ends up becoming more twisted until the movie's final moments. I like Butler and Foxx, so I may ha...( read more)

Excellent movie, one of the better of the year with a strong cast and direction and cliffhanging plots which gets you sucked into the movie and not wanting to leave till the climax

An unforgettably powerful and adrenaline-fulled edge of your seat thriller. A bone-chilling revenge classic. An unbelievably exhilarating, mind-blowing and shocking film that shakes you to the core like you wouldn't believe. It packs plenty of twist, turns and explosive excitemen...( read more)

Everyone will more or less tell you the same thing about this movie. Amazing right up until the end.
Why? Because you don't create this amazing character that everyone loves throughout the whole film, and then end it in the simplest way you can think of.
Horrible ending, but the...( read more)
So blatantly nonsensical that the action quickly tips over into campiness. full review
It's about the cat-and-mouse game between two very smart guys, and it's perfectly happy to be as dumb as it wants. full review
At last, the missing link between Phantom of the Opera and Saw. Welcome to the gonzo revenge saga Law Abiding Citizen. full review
The exploration of right and wrong, and its complicated lack of clarity, gets trammeled amid the bevy of explosions, volley of bullets and mounting body count. full review
Vigilante movies hold a firm place in cinematic history, but for them to work, the vigilante needs to be a sympathetic anti-hero. full review
An exercise in illogic and Death Wish cribbing that lets a bunch of good actors collect big paychecks for playing way less than their A game. full review
The movie is not -- putting it courteously -- tightly constructed. The narrative shifts are jerky and the tone bounces around like a Jeep on a dirt road. full review
That the film, directed in swift strokes by F. Gary Gray from a screenplay credited to Kurt Wimmer, doesn't really work -- unrelentingly grim, unintentionally funny -- is almost beside the point. It's... full review
The explanation of Clyde's methods is preposterous, but it comes late enough that F. Gary Gray, the director, is first able to generate considerable suspense and a sense of dread. full review
