Clyde Shelton's family is brutally murdered. The ones responsible are caught. However, because of improper procedure, the D.A., Nick Rice only has circumstantial evidence. So he decides to get one of them to testify against the other. When Shelton learns of this, he is not happy. Ten years later, the one who was convicted is being executed but something goes wrong; his execution goes awry and he suffers. They learn that someone tampered with the machine. And the other one is found dead, killed in a gruesome manner. Rice suspects Shelton, so he has him picked up. At first, Shelton agrees to a plea agreement with Rice but changes his mind. It appears that Shelton is not done, it appears he blames the whole system and is declaring war on it going after everyone involved with his family's case. So Rice has to stop him but Shelton is way ahead of him.
Leave your thoughts about Law Abiding Citizen.
| Washington PostDan KoisA movie devoted to baroque revenge would be, on its own terms, acceptable; what makes Law Abiding Citizen so risible is its humorless conviction that it's got Big Ideas at its core. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerSo blatantly nonsensical that the action quickly tips over into campiness. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerWhile one man's terrorist may be another's freedom fighter, it's not quite as simple when it comes to CIA operatives and your basic serial killer. Or rather, a CIA psycho family man that might make Jack The Ripper envious. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[E]mblematic of the unpleasant streak that runs through the American zeitgeist today... that we have to do away with... the rule of law and that pesky Constitution in order to 'save' America... |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekOne of the silliest action yarns in years...There's room for good pulp trash on screen, but lousy pulp, which is what this picture is, deserves a quick trip to the dumpster. |
| Village VoiceRobert WilonskyIf the filmmakers meant a word of it, they'd quit making films and do something more useful. "Saw" with a conscience is not what the world needs. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithIt should be put under citizen's arrest as it's one colossal disappointment. |
| smh.com.auGiles HardieFor large portions of Law Abiding Citizen we're not sure who is going to be the winner here, nor who we want to be, and though it won't make for much of a date flick, as far as intelligent action flicks go, it gets two big burly thumbs up. |
| San Francisco ExaminerRossiter DrakePutting aside the ideological posturing, this hyper-violent fantasy about a seemingly unstoppable killer who continues his murder spree behind bars delivers on its promise of an intriguing mystery, however far-fetched. |
| OregonianMike RussellThe movie starts out as a potboiler with a troubling character arc; unfortunately, it ends up becoming a goofy, story-overwhelming Rube Goldberg contraption that would make the producers of the Saw series blush. |
