Law Abiding Citizen : Movie Review


In the first half-hour of "Law Abiding Citizen," a beetle-browed bear of a man named Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) watches helplessly as two thugs burst into his home, one of them slaying his wife and daughter.

He watches helplessly as the first thug gets sent to death row while the second, the actual, murdering scumbag, pleads to a lesser charge. The architect of this deal is Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), a slick prosecuting attorney who cares more about his conviction rate than actual justice. Once more, Clyde watches helplessly as Nick and the killer shake hands outside a Philadelphia courthouse.
