Gerald Butler can channel Hannibel Lector, but can't save "Law Abiding Citzen." The film is nothing more than a sad commentary on our judical system. Butler plays a family man, whose world fell apart apart when two men broke into their home and kill his wife and child. Jamie Foxx plays the attroney who let one of the two killers off scott free. He kills both men and then he goes after the lawyers who screw up his case and anyone one who has any connections to the case. The question is, Why is Butler is behind bars and all the crimes were commited? I won't reveal the final fifteen minutes of the case and when you do see the final fifteen minutes, you'll be shaking your head.  

This plot could not have happened in the real world, but it still keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end, never knowing what sort of "justice" will be meted out next for the failure of the judicial system. It won't win any Academy Awards, but compared to some of the other dismal excuses for movies out this year, this is well worth the price of admission and a concession.
