Law Abiding Citizen

[Alien Redrum]

Checked this out yesterday and liked it as much as I thought I would.

I love revenge films, so this was a no brainer at $9.99 on Blu.

I really liked it up until the end, which was kind of lame.

Spoiler:

No way should the dude have died. He did everything right, therefore he should have won, but tje stupid movie attempted to be preachy and make him look crazy.

Regardless, still a very fun movie and well worth the ten bucks.

I was going to pass after I saw the trailer (particularly the line "I'm going to kill everyone"), but I decided to give it a shot after reading this.

Not bad, I thought it had a decent plot and some pretty badass action sequences. As for your gripe, I think they were trying to portray him as more of a tragic character than a crazy guy (though it seemed there were a few parts where they couldn't decide and just made him crazy). I also thought there were a few sporadic statements about the justice system which didn't really add to the movie at all.

Kevin and I talked about this the other night. It also seemed like they were trying to make him the bad guy, but failed miserably. After what he went through, there was nothing he could have done that would have been bad in my eyes.

Definitely agreed. It's like they forgot what kind of movie they were making on a few occasions.
