Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler make quite the pair in “Law Abiding Citizen”.  Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is an inventor with a loving family. Instantly one day changes everything. Clyde is attacked in a home invasion and his wife and daughter are murdered, while he is left as the sole survivor. When the parties involved in the home invasion are captured they are forced with a possible plea bargain. When the DNA evidence becomes inadmissible in court a plea deal seems to be the only way to guarantee justice.

Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) is the district attorney who makes the plea deal, despite Clyde’s arguments. Clyde is disgusted by Nick’s bargaining and becomes intent on payback for the injustice following his wife and child’s murder. Ten years pass by and it comes time for the execution of one of the men involved. The death row victim does not peacefully die, rather a tragic event happens and he suffers. Obvious foul play is involved and Nick and his team begin to look for who might be implicated.

When they discover the other man involved in the murder, which was released after serving only five years, has turned up dead they quickly turn to Clyde as a suspect. Clyde is apprehended but the murders seem to continue. Clyde insists that he was served an injustice and people will continue to die, as he plans to bring the whole system down on Nick’s head.

“Law Abiding Citizen” is a sizzling hot thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The film is gory and outlandish, but proves how many criminals are getting off the easy way. Gerard Butler as the devastated father was immaculate. Jamie Foxx’s stern DA performance proved to be a scene-stealer. Combining the two offered a masterpiece for cinema lovers. It’s not a logical film, but very entertaining and that’s what I like from a movie. “Law Abiding Citizen” may possibly the best thriller since “Seven”. Jump on for a thrilling ride and enjoy every twist and turn that lies ahead.
