While you are reading this review, a man will knock on your door giving you an envelope with a key in it. Tomorrow you will go to a train station and use this key to open the empty locker it belongs to at exactly 13.02, after which you will be bothered by six aggressive mimes and a small monkey. After this, you will go home, call your mother at 14.23 and cry about it. How do I know this? I planned this two years ago.

If you believe this, you'll give this film a five star rating. If not, you'll watch a completely forgettable, though decently made, action film.

Really entertaining until the complete cop-out ending... Very disappointing.

Really epic movie, seen if over 50 times (not by choice, long story)

Jamie Foxx is a fucking boss

Sehr guter Film, spannende Story, auch etwas mit dem man sich verbinden kann (am Anfang)
Sehr überzeugende Schauspieler, sehr zu empfehlen,
manchmal ein bisschen brutal

I'm into a phase now where I'm not able to write reviews. The words just doesn't come to me. Or, in an even poorer way than before. So I'm just going to say that I've been on Netflix all evening, and this was my third pick. Starts out more or less exactly as Death Wish, and from there it develops into a mixture between Se7en and an Alex Cross mystery. In a kind of a good way, because it managed to keep my attention until the end. Lots of good actors too.

Thought it would have been a lot better but it wasn't awful. A good crime thriller with some great gorey scenes. It was very much like a serious Saw film. Ended a little disappointingly but the near final scene still looked pretty cool.

Gerald Buttler legjobb filmje! Must seee!

Though violent and clever in a way I can appreciate, Law Abiding Citizen falls down a bit because there's no one to really root for. Most everybody is a bit too dispicable. Still, the movie keeps you on your toes.

Synkkä trilleri kaksinaismoralismilla ja vigilante-sankaruudella. Lähtee liikkeelle todella maukkaasti, loppupuoliskon överius latistaa seisokkia.

An evil little film about the difference between justice and law. Butler is amazing as always and for once I even enjoy Foxx. The ending is a bit of a let down, but if you're interested in a revenge flick with a different spin this is definitely for you.

"That's what a wrench is for, dumbass!"

I enjoyed the first 40 minutes or so of the movie. I found the gruesome dismemberment revenge scene very satisfying. However, from that point the movie devolved into a boring "just as planned" thriller. I'm all for ridiculous plans but Butler's character became an all knowing god and then loses in such a lame fashion because writing a clever way to outsmart him was probably impossible. Also felt like Butler's character's motivations were pretty stupid.

Not too bad, but I was a bit let down with the ending. It also tried to be two things at once - a mindless, implausible thriller and a tactical, intelligent argumentation of the justice system. If it would have stuck with one, it could have been great. Or at least have a more gutsy ending.

It was great seeing Butler's character get his revenge on. His plans are pretty ridiculous, so this movie isn't what I'd call "believable." I didn't watch the unrated cut, which means I missed out on the extra dismemberment footage :(

While I enjoyed this movie for the most part, the ending is total suck.

4 estrellas y media, sencillamente porque pudieron jugar mas con la inteligencia del personaje principal, es una de esas películas donde no hay un enemigo o un héroe, nos muestra una cruda realidad, una venganza buscando ser penada por una ley que le fallo a la victima. Bastante especial, el personaje protagonico es de un atractivo inconmensurable en todos los sentidos.
