For our date night this week we decided to finally go see Law Abiding Citizen! When I saw the previews for this movie I really wanted to see it, but I would be lying if I say that I didn’t worry if it could really hold up to the previews. Recently I have noticed quite the trend of this happening with new movies.
Once the movie started I instantly realized that was not the case with this movie though! Gosh, I would have to say that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen! I honestly don’t even know how to explain what was so great about this movie without reviling details about it! The best way to explain this movie in one sentence is to say… This movie truly shows you what it means when they say that there is a fine line between genius and insane!
Gerard Butler was so amazing in this movie that I don’t know that I can like him in another role again! He was so convincing that he truly was a sociopathic lunatic that it is hard to ever imagine him in another role like The Ugly Truth again! Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed him in that movie as well! This movie just really gave him an ability to prove his amazing gift of acting! Gerard Butler plays a distraught husband and father, Clyde Shelton. He feels that Nick Rice, played by Jamie Foxx, did not provide his recently slaughtered family justice because he made a deal with the murders. He then spends 10 years planning revenge on everyone who had anything to do with the lack of justice in his family’s case.
Jamie Foxx, now where to even start with him? We all have saw Jamie Foxx impress us time and time again! He is gifted with an amazing ability of versatility. He has proved his talent in acting, music, and comedy. I certainly cannot even remember a flop of his! Maybe his best ability is to know how to pick what is going to be a hit. In this movie he plays Nick Rice, one of Philadelphia’s Assistant District Attorneys (ADA). He was the one who chose to make a deal with the murders of Clyde’s wife and child. He then becomes the center of Clyde’s revenge plot.
Not only does this movie offer an amazing plot with speechless acting and production, but it also offers many surprise moments that will catch even the most avid criminal movie watcher jump! I highly recommend this movie to everyone! It is a great refreshing movie, which has amazing plot twists and unforgettable acting! No movie has ever impressed me so much, in years!
Take a look at the trailer for this great movie below!
