Law Abiding Citizen

It's basically Saw with Gerard Butler as Jigsaw, which means he's as righteous of body as he is of mind.

There were surprises, twists and turns and could get graphic at times, but overall the movie was fast-paced, well performed, and kept your attention until the very end.

For 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.

While Law Abiding Citizen is in no sense a successful work of art, a film that offers the illicit thrill of cheering on an all-American terrorist is at least pursuing something more complex than ''moral clarity''.

Bloodshed and torture abound in this sadistic thriller with pretensions.

Filled with equal parts bloody carnage and plot holes, this vigilante yarn, more concerned with explosions and bloodletting than voicing its potential social commentary, unravels into a disorganized tangle

Offers plenty of entertainment value, provided that viewers are willing to accept several remarkably convenient truths.

The perfect action flick for low-maintenance audiences.

As a piece of fluffy entertainment, Law Abiding Citizen is passable enough; try to dig any deeper, however, and you'd be scraping the bottom of a very shallow barrel.
