That was clever.

Nick Rice : You think your wife and daughter would feel good about you killing in their name? Clyde Shelton : My wife and daughter can't feel anything. They're dead. Clyde Shelton : [talking privately outside the prison] I'm just getting started. I'm gonna pull the whole thing down. I gonna bring the whole fuckin' diseased corrupt temple down on your heads.

So the story is a locked-room mystery: How does he set up such elaborate kills? Does he have an accomplice outside the walls, or what? Clyde begins the film as a loving husband and father, but then his wife and daughter are savagely murdered. Nick arranges a plea bargain: One of the guilty men will be executed; the other, in return for his testimony, will get a murder conviction but not death. Clyde can't believe this.

Vigilante movies have a tendency to revolve around antiheroes who have lost their families or been wronged by the system. Michael Winner's Death Wish provided the template for films of this ilk back in , and most of them have adhered to a similar format since then. Law Abiding Citizen doesn't stray too far from the tried-and-tested formula, but F. Gary Gray's thriller also takes some detours into gross-out horror territory, reminiscent of the Saw franchise and The Silence of the Lambs. Law Abiding Citizen stars Gerard Butler as Clyde Shelton, a man who loses everything and goes on the rampage after the system fails to adequately punish his family's killers.
