Review of Law Abiding Citizen (2009) by Ydnar4 — 07 Feb 2015

I had really high expectations for Law Abiding Citizen after watching the first scene. It really started out strong and made me excited for what would happen next, but then it gets too ahead of itself.

The first 40 minutes of the movie are the best and then the last hour sort of drags on. I enjoyed Jamie Foxx's role but I don't understand why he is so involved in the story when he is a lawyer. He shouldn't have anything to do with most of the events in the movie.

I understand he is there in order to make the movie more intense but it sacrifices realism. He should have been a cop. Then ending was sort of good but semi-predictable. I didn't think that this movie is really bad I just found a lot of things flawed with it.

I'm sure many people would still enjoy the film. Just don't think too hard about it.
