Law Abiding Citizen Reviews and Ratings



  • December 7, 2009
    This isn't quite as simple as it may seem. Gerard Butler's character is NOT an everyday guy. He has a unique set of abilities to seek what he sees as justice. It makes for a gripping thriller with plenty of twists and action. Jamie Foxx is unremarkable as the D.A., but the rest o...( read more)f the cast are excellent. It would appear that screenwriter Kurt Wimmer should stay away from science fiction dross like Ultraviolet & Equilibrium and stick to thrillers like this one; it suits him much better.

    Enjoyable action thriller with great storyline with plenty of twists and surprises.Enjoyable to watch with good cast and great acting.
  • December 6, 2009
    I liked this was a nice twist on the generic bad guy
  • December 6, 2009
    justice sometimes is not fair and we can't do much to correct it.

    'Clyde is a brain' :))

  • December 6, 2009
    Brilliantly made movie. I had high hopes when started watching and I wasn't disappointed. Action packed drama with some cool twists and turns. Loved what Butler's character said: "everybody should be held accountable for their actions" - true, very true!

    É um bom filme, mas falta alguma coisa.
  • December 5, 2009
    MAN.. THAT'S WHAT I CALL IT SUSPENSE..

    when killing is justified everything is legal..

    Gerard Butler was great in this movie..

    This role was just meant for hime
  • December 5, 2009
    Completely amazing - Had me so gripped throughout. Top class acting.
  • December 3, 2009
    EXCELLENT film......loved it
  • December 3, 2009
    Ballsy little Saw-a-like thriller that drops the ball in the final furlong, an ending with more teeth would have benefitted this fun thriller with some nice surprises, but alas we're given an all too conventional, Hollywood wrap up to a film that was defying those same convention...( read more)s for most of it's runtime. Ah to dream about what Frank Darabont would have done with this, had he stayed.
  • December 3, 2009
    Entertaining, intense, unrealistic, unsatisfying ending. You will cheer for the bad guy.
  • December 3, 2009
    Very good! Bit predictable!
  • December 3, 2009
    Despite having just a completely terrible title and a trailer that did absolutely nothing for me, I was pleasantly surprised by this actioner directed by the sometimes good, most of the times awful F. Gary Gray.

    Foxx is completely dispensable (like in most of his projects) but t...( read more)he rest of the cast does the job. The deaths are pretty gruesome and one is a total holy fuck. Even though it loses its steam towards the end, it's definitely worth watching.
  • December 2, 2009
    Law Abiding Citizen is mainly lots of references to past films, most noticeably, Saw and Silence of the Lambs.
  • December 2, 2009
    Movie of 2009 (so far) :)
  • December 1, 2009
    An Intense thriller; both entertaining and unpredictable, that unfortunately leaves a bad taste in the mouth with a very weak and uninspired conclusion. Overlook this flaw, and you'll (more than likely) be pleasantly surprised by this niffty little thrill-ride.

    Also, Gerard Bu...( read more)tler is at his most badass here, clearly having a blast with the role at hand.
  • December 1, 2009
    This is a very annoying film. It was extremely good, on a par with Se7en until the last 5 minutes when it turned to crap.
  • December 1, 2009
    This was a great movie!
  • December 1, 2009
    I think it looks cool. I want to see it. I heard it's meant to have good effects and be of good quality. Here's hoping...
  • December 1, 2009
    Initially when I saw a trailer for this film I thought it looked great and thought I understood the gist of the plot of this film being your typical action revenge film - turns out I was wrong. Yes the film was superb, as was the plot, but I never expected it to take the turn th...( read more)at it did and the end result was great. There is a few surprising action moments in this film which I never expected and took me completely by surprise. Overall a great film and I definitely recommend it.
  • November 30, 2009
    Very awesome movie. You spend the whole movie just simply in awe of Gerard Butler's character and wanting him to succeed even though what he is doing is technically wrong. It keeps you guessing right up until the end and leaves you fully satisfied. Probably one of the better movi...( read more)es of the year.
  • November 30, 2009
    Gerry Butler goes mental, taking revenge cos a lawyer cut a deal with his family's killer 10 years earlier. Big, stupid film with so many zing one-liners it just takes the piss.

    Why is Jamie Foxx in this mince?
  • November 30, 2009
    good action, but ending was not really smart.
  • November 29, 2009
    WONDERFUL! Hats off to the writers and actors! VERY POWERFUL MOVIE!
  • November 29, 2009
    It's jigsaw with a motive. The movie is overblown with underwhelming morals. The point of the movie is "don't make deals with murderers [within the judicial system]." There's nothing special here except if people are action and gore junkies.
  • November 29, 2009
    Okay movie with a followable plot, until the end where you get a sub-par curveball, that is somewhat expected given the way most movies like this are today. Slow in some parts, but overall worthy of renting
  • November 29, 2009
    mind-boggling....
    enjoed much of it.. :))
  • November 27, 2009
    awsome film must see for all movie fan's. gripping all the way through
  • November 27, 2009
    looking forward to seeing this
  • November 26, 2009
    It's probably ok but at least it isn't about the devil. Everybody is satan worshiping big time.

    not bad,abit slow moving.
  • November 24, 2009
    good & real about justice & revenge... Gerard Butler was fantastic...

    Only God's justice is certainly perfect - humans' are skewed based on their biases & emotions which are subjectively flawed... Jamie Foxx should have personally suffered but didn't since I thought his ego o...( read more)f high conviction rates caused the revenge avalanche... Revenge was served but not justice in this film...

    Law neutrally exists but interpretation & enforcement by government is skewed based on egos & biases hence its failure...

    I'm not in support of the death penalty due to the flaws in the justice system based on race & other external factors & its inhumane way to end one's life... people feel that death in a less suffering way (like a dog which is put to sleep but we are not animals) is justified... either "kind" or "suffering" killings are both killings to me... the movie put a greater weight on the suffering vs the death...
  • November 24, 2009
    This movie is sure to knock you out of your seat in more ways than one. I totally love, so much that i have watched it over and over again. It is really worth your time and money. Good work Jamie and Gerard!!!!!
  • November 24, 2009
    Seems like a real-life story.
  • November 23, 2009
    Pretty good flick except for Jamie Foxx, He's like the guy in last place at the special Olympics, you really want him to do well but in the end he just looks sad....
  • November 23, 2009
