Review of Law Abiding Citizen (2009) by Forthereview — 04 Nov 2014
This movie was very interesting. Watching someone outsmart the authorities is always entertaining.
Gerard Butler played his character perfectly. He is a great anti-hero/mastermind actor. A similar movie to Law Abiding Citizen with a lead character being a dark mastermind is Inside Man. Gerard Butler stars in it, too!
However, I was very let down with the ending to this movie. Despite as sinister as it sounds, it would have been amazing to see Clyde's plan workout in the end. I feel it would have given a better remembrance to his name, and his motive. The tip that Nick received at the end was very disappointing; to have Clyde's plan spoiled by a tip was just sad.
The movie is very underrated. Great plot, exceptional acting, and disappointing ending. To be fair, though, I could see many people content with the way the movie ended. Probably in my top 20 list of movies. 6/10.
