Law Abiding Citizen – F. Gary Gray (2009)

I like the title of this film, but it took me a long time before I watched it. Unfortunately, I like the film a lot less than the title…

Clyde Shelton sees his wife and daughter get murdered. The perpetrators are caught but the persecutor does not aim as high as Shelton’s wishes.

Suddenly we are 10 years down the line. One of the perpetrators gets a lethal injection, while the other has been out of prison for years. Apparently Shelton has been cooking on revenge for all that time and a fairly boring story unfolds in which Shelton came up with all kinds of incredible ways to take revenge on the people involved a decade earlier. This involves some quite violent scenes.

It all results in an unconvincing film with a lot of ‘yeah, right scenes’.
