LAW ABIDING CITIZEN by CRAIG


IMDB REVIEW LINK
This movie starts out as being a compelling story about one man's grudge against some of the short comings of the justice system.  The movie ends in what I like to call "Batman Gone Wild".  Now I liked the movie, it's well made and the actors were all really good.  In the beginning, I found that there were some realistic aspects of this movie that disturbed me and left a bit of a pit in my stomach.  In the end, I was laughing.  I guess Hollywood wanted it that way.  Now, let me warn you.  There are several scenes that are bloody and gruesome that could leave you uneasy.  You can always close your eyes though.  The actor who becomes the Anti-Batman is really good.  I am starting to like him and I actually think he would make a great Batman compared to all the rest of them.   I think this film is a good one to watch for some reason because their are a lot of surprises, but it's not for every one.  I say it's a 7.2 out of 10 for a Thrilla with some Chilla!
