Movie Review - “Law Abiding Citizen”

m_071_lac_1sht_V8.qxd:MECHANICAL

REVIEW: I guess we are like most people who have seen this movie. Movie goers are rating it 4-Stars, while most critics are giving it only 1-1/2 Stars.  We liked it! We don’t go to the movies looking for heavy, well written plots, although they are always welcomed and appreciated when they occur.  We just like to be entertained and feel that we got our monies worth.  This movie did both. It is really fast paced and pretty tense in places.  It is filled with plenty of quite sick murder scenes including one that caused Connie to “jump” even though she said she was expecting it.  The plot is kind of a mixed bag that starts  out as a vengeance based film but slowly merges supposedly into a statement on the justice system.  Admittedly, this thought is not very well written or executed.  However, in the end, even if just for entertainment value, we give it [4-Stars]

SYNOPSIS: An everyday guy decides to take justice into his own hands after a plea bargain sets his family's killers free. His target: The district attorney who orchestrated the deal.
