Review of Law Abiding Citizen (2009) by Jamesh. — 16 Oct 2009
[***SPOILER***]LAC started off VERY promising but somewhere along the line the plot began forming holes that were never filled. It first painted Jamie's character to be more involved with the death of Butler's family than he turned out to be.
Leaning in to talk to the murderer at the court room, shaking his hand afterwards. Idk if real lawyers actually do that. It starts with Butler being the protaganist but he quickly becomes the badguy. It wasn't the best plot or the best way for the movie to end.
It was brilliant how he pulled off the murders but it definetly ended the wrong way. Butler should have been the smart, crazy, good guy. Jamie should have been the evil masteind trying to further his career.
Plus 10 years to hold a grudge is a little too extreme and that was my first flag. It should have been maybe 1 yr or 2 @ the most. The movie should have also set up who Butler really was by showing pictures of his military background and then showing his family instead of just "dumping" his surprised past on us.
