Cheers for "Law Abiding Citizen "

Went to the opening Friday morning show on Oct. 16 of this film. Cheers all around for a very entertaining show.

Law Abiding Citizen

Action, mystery & an intense think piece. I like that it has a prologue setting up the two antagonists. Following in the main body of the story is the mastermind and determined wronged man, Clyde(Gerard Butler), taking his revenge on the system that has betrayed him and his dead wife and child. By the end epilogue, we see his main foil, the district attorney, Neil(Jamie Foxx), with his family at his childs recital. Clyde, the "bad man", has taught the smart "good man" attorney to treasure what matters.The action scenes with the explosions are awesome and I loved that the director and writers let us see how Clyde did what he did by the end of the film. Great locations in gritty areas of Philadelphia. A good time at the movies with an old-fashioned suspense/thriller. 9/10

I'm going to see this one again this week.
