Law Abiding Citizen: DVD Review
Law Abiding Citizen
Released by Roadshow Entertainment
Rating: R18
Gerard Butler stars as Clyde Shelton - in front of his eyes one day, his wife
and daughter are brutally killed in a home invasion.
Shelton survives but when it comes to trying the case, a hotshot lawyer Nick
Rice (Jamie Foxx) manages to get the one who stabbed him and his wife off -
because he persuades him to testify against his accomplice.
Ten years go past - and suddenly Shelton is confessing to the murder of the
one who got away&.and things get worse for Rice when Shelton's imprisoned
but people involved in the case end up dead.
Suddenly the killings are so close to home - and the clock is ticking for
Rice.
How far would you go to avenge your family's
death? Well for Butler it's about as far as he's ever gone before - he's quite
terrifying in his change from household man to psycho raging against the justice
system.
There's a smart premise here that one man wants to bring down the corrupt
system - there's some taut action scenes and a vein of tension pumping
throughout this - coupled with the good solid central performances of Foxx and
Butler, and this is a watchable - but disposable piece of Friday night
entertainment - things blow up, explode - the usual fare.
Extras: Behind the scenes docos and trailer - as well as
producers commentary - nothing outstanding but solid for the release
Rating: 6/10
