Law
Abiding Citizen 7/10
I
watched Law Abiding Citizen a few days ago almost nine years to the
day I had watched it for the first time. This movie walks a very fine
line between cheesy unbelievability and harsh ass reality. Clyde
Shelton is happily living his inventor life with his wife and
daughter and moments later some dudes break in, tie him and his wife
up, and do god knows what to them before killing them. Nick Rice is
representing Shelton in court and mentions that one of the guys is
taking a plea deal so he'll walk free. Shelton is like “But they
raped and killed my family.” Rice is like “This is how it works.
Sorry.” So one of the guys walks away super free and Shelton sees
Rice shake the guys hand and vanishes. We fast forward ten years
later and Rice has his wife and daughter and he heads off to see the
execution of one of the guys. During the execution the guy says how
the one that got off free is the one that did all the raping and uh
killing. He gets injected and shit goes bad real fast. He starts
bleeding and flailing before finally dying. Turns out someone
switched the juice. Uh oh...?
