As a law student, I found it to be an interesting insight on the justice system (plea bargainning being a common reality in Canada as well) - but as an earlier comment pointed out, one must remain critical. It is, after all, but fiction. Otherwise, good performance by both Butler and Foxx. Disappointing ending, but still definitely worth seeing!

Ok. Let's get it out there. Gerard Butler is hot. Aside from that, the story was rather entertaining! Although slightly unrealistic, it was an action movie I really enjoyed!

At first I didn't want to go and see that movie... Boy am I ever glad I did. Totally brilliant! Michael Butler (georgeous as usual!) and Jamie Foxx are absolutely superb! All this to say... go and see this movie!

Butler is excellent but not stellar as the plot, exciting at times, but contrived and thrown together hastily at the end is disappointing. The movie starts out with great hopes but peters out at the end, unfortunately. Washington is okay, but not always believable. An "okay" movie for sure, but full of blood, guts and gore and a few surprises.

It was a really good action movie. The history was fascinating and stirring! If you like explosion and thriller, it's your movie! The cinegorth will be tied to the screen. Law abiding citizen is one of the best movie of the years. The actors Gerald Butler hold is character with brillance. Jamie Fox was exceptional in Nick Rice.

gabriel,damas11@ - age: 13-17
Great plot, superb acting by Gerard Butler, a bit of a stretch on the believability scale, a scathing portrayal of our incredibly flawed legal system... but what keeps it from being a truly great movie is the horribly contrived and rushed ending.

Awful. Blood and guts. Disappointed that Jamie fox would agree to the explicit dramatization of violence.

Very explicit, graphic violence. Waited for gore to be over. It never did. Walked out half way through. This extreme is not necessary to make a good movie.

Extremely brutal but extremely good plot. I jumped a few times and had to turn my head over twice but I think it was needed to really show the true feelings of the actors. Gerard Butler is a very good villain! Not for kids under 18.

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
Overall was pretty good, but couldn't understand why the leprachaun had to return the submarine at the end--couldn't he just have painted it again?! Pia Zadora was especially good as the albino transvestite midget, though I thought her breastees would have been bigger, like they were in Ratatouille...

A must see. Interesting to see when do you change sides during the movie; if you ever do. The ending was too simplistic though.

This movie is brutally violent. I would not recommend that anyone (especially youth) subject themselves to this movie. Good plot line but unecessarily violent.

Almost the entire movie left me guessing what would happen next. And I was surprised at quite a few scenes - with movies lately I've been able to predict the next six scenes. With some fantastic acting, suspense, and a fantastic clip of Gerard Butler's butt, this is one of the best I've seen in a long time.

Loved every minute of it! Very well made and the time was well organized... not like some movies where nothing happens in the whole hour and half, and then in the last ten minutes, too many things happen and we got nothing... this one was pretty well done :)

n_146@ - age: 18-25
This movie is definitely a restricted movie and should not be seen by any children or teenagers!!! There is no reason for ANYONE to see violence like this or suggested scenes like this movie has. It could have been a really good movie if they had taken alot of that out and there is NO reason that anyone should see this! No wonder we have so many problems in our world! This is just a mind corruptor!!!

Very good action throughout, and story, I'm not going to go into the story, that's for you to find out, but I will say one thing, I personally was disappointing by the ending. I would have preferred his original plan to go through.

Much better than I expected. Not just about another self rightous psychopath revenge movie at all. Brillant acting except Gerald Butler really seems to struggle with accents, expecially American ones. The gore was somewhat excessive however, more than required to get the point across.

I like a "revenge movie" as much as the next guy, and when they are done well (aka Taken) they are well worth it! However, this movie's plot was simply too improbable to be believed! There was simply no rationale for Gerard Butler's character's actions, and the ensuing behavior of the authorities defied all reason! By the end of the movie I was completely lost as to who I was supposed to be rooting for and as long as any of the actors were standing there was no appropriate revenge in my books!
