Law Abiding Citizen

Law Abiding Citizen (abbreviated version) is one of the many recent Gerard Butler movies. The man seems to be in everything these days, but I must say that the range of his characters are quite impressive. I mean, can you even believe that the same actor played the Phantom of the Opera, lead guy in 300, dead husband in P.S. I Love You, The Ugly Truth guy, and Law Abiding Citizen? That is RANGE!
The movie is about a man whose family is murdered and after the murders are not sentenced to the satisfaction of the husband he decides to take justice into his own hands. I really enjoyed this movie. It had cool explosions and action and death scenes, but it also brought up some moral and judicial questions that got you thinking.

Law Abiding Citizen gets two kernels - good combination of action and actual plot as well as another great performance by Butler.
