Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

brianbertini Some will think it's crazy a person would call this a top movie, but I love revenge movies, and this one is fantastic. From beginning to end it's one brilliant act of revenge after another. My only gripe-and it's a big one-is the ending. They had a chance to do something unique and special, and they totally blew it!

dumpsterpuppy People in here saying "hurr durr movie was good, ending was bad" are ignoring the fact the the ENTIRE MOVIE WAS TRASH. That's TRASH spelled T-R-A-Y-S-H. Just like Frank Reynolds would say, "TRAYSH". Leonidas was garbage, Ray Charles was garbage, the John C. Reilly look-alike was garbage. Don't waste your time on this dumpster fire.

hrkepler Silly, implausible and entertaining. 'Law Abiding Citizen' is all that. It is helluva entertaining, fast paced and it actually buts your brain to work while watching although it all falls apart in retrospect, but who cares - it was fun. Wasn't it? Some critics complained that the film is unnecessarily violent. I personally don't think that - 'Law Abiding Citizen' pales compared to some other highly praised films (Tarantino). It has it's gory moments but they fit into the films overall tone perfectly. The chemistry between two leads Jamie Foxx (Nick) and Gerard Butler (Clyde) is magnetic while these two are engaged with cat and mouse play where the line between good and evil (wright or wrong) by the end of the film is pretty thin. There are many pleasant surprises and plot twist along the way, and I like how they keep avoid predictability. Add rich supporting cast with stellar character actors and clean directing style by F. Gary Gray, you get enjoyable fast paced thriller.

krocheav Here it is, 'Death Wish 139'! The same ole over-the-top violence (but let's see how much more repugnant nastiness can be crammed into it). From an opening featuring a difficult to watch home invasion and brutal rape/murder - what follows, at times, looks as if it might be heading towards making a statement about a miscarriage of the justice system but, that's as close as it gets. From here, to the ridiculous finish all we are given is totally farfetched foolishness that defies all logic and insults the viewers intelligence. We have the sole survivor of his family's murder unbelievably manipulating the prison system so he can metre out impossible revenge on all who took part on both sides of the law. If that sounds good to you and you are willing to let all semblance of intelligence plunge you into a mental void then you might last to the moronic finale. The audience manipulation begins with the main criminal being written as nastier than the nastiest - just so you will feel good about their hideous death and continues through to those who carry the law to their graves via impossible executions etc. That this slickly produced and acted movie made any money at all is testimony to just how easy it is to fool way too many members of the public. Empire reviewer; Angie Errigo sums it up perfectly. With other IMDb poster; Chromium Five, giving a humorous but bitingly fitting summary. Others simply rave on about this nonsense foolishly.
