Law Abiding Citizen

I have to admit, this film kept my interest, even though it was panned by many. It makes sense and everything happens for a reason. I think it could have been an even better film without the “father who lost everything” storyline. Sure we feel sympathetic at the beginning, but when more than the perpetrators of the inciting crime are murdered, it’s hard to feel anything but contempt. It becomes a game of who is the less evil. I guess you could justify that Butler’s character was consumed by hatred, but is that any way to honour your deceased love ones?
