Poorly written ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ shows little originality

Kill all the lawyers is the theme of this disappointing revenge drama in which Butler plays the more than somewhat miffed Clyde Shelton whose family were slaughtered by a gang of hoods some 10 years previously and, even worse, allowed to escape the full force of the law by prosecutor Foxx who did a deal.

Director: F. Gary Gray

Cast: Gerard Butler, Jamie Foxx, Bruce McGill, Colm Meaney
