Movie Review: Law Abiding Citizen.
Talking about watching movies, I sometimes wonder how I find it so hard to get hold of some hold movies which will later become sometime I find attractive to watch. This movie, "Law Abiding Citizen" is what I call a jaw-dropper, because it gives you a lot of prospect ahead of what you want to see from the very start of the movie, I have been so connected to it, so I was sure about what I was expecting in the movie.

The movie was directed by F. Gary Gray, and it was released in the year 2009. The movie was based on justice, revenge of a long gone days, battle with the government body and so on. I tag this movie to be a Nick and Clyde battle.
The story revolves around Clyde Shelton, played by Gerard Butler, whose life was a mess due to the death of his wife and daughter. His wife and kid were murder in their home and this made him take laws into his hands because there was no one to fight for him. The movie showcased some great actors like Jamie Foxx, Gerard Butler, Colm Meaney, Bruce McGill, Leslie Bibb and many others.
This act made Clyde so brutal throughout the movie, thereby making him dish out series of action moment and a high level of tricks which he used to outsmart the police force that took him in the cell. Still hidden captive in the custody, he was still able to carry out some tough task, leaving the New York police officers to wonder if they were still capable of their job or not.
Clyde Shelton action, in the movie, shows a lot of his insanity by pulling out a great anger at everyone that tries to stop him. He was made to change from a law-abiding citizen to villain that is not scared of what comes out of his negative act. Neither is he scared to die if peradventure he got caught.

Nick, on the other side, is a district attorney caught in between this mess. He is to be in charge of Clyde's case, but he was so frustrated as the matter gets deeper and stronger than he expected. At some point, he was getting tired and decided to resign because he doesn't want to lose his family for the current chaos he has gotten himself.
The movie was created with topnotch advancement and professionalism, because, you will keep predicting what is going to happen next, and you won't want to miss any epic scene. I was also mesmerized with the game played between Clyde and Nick because that was where the movie was mainly centered. It makes me want to know what next in the other scene to come because Clyde was too determined to ruin everyone associated with this case.
The cinematography aspect of the movies is so appealing, I love the way lightening were used in the movie. Mostly, at night when you see the dark light, then you know you are to concentrate because something is about to happen.
If I am to rate this movie on a scale of 10, it would be on a scale of 8 and the reason for this is because, the movie was able to explain every part and scene into details leaving you with no choice than to understand it. On the contrary, I was not happy with the way the movie ended.
Clyde was caught up in the cell and never knew he had accompanied till he was done with all his plans, and that was how nick was able to win the game. But the aspect I did not like was the way the fire erupted in the cell. It was not done in an advanced way that will show that the fire was a real fire, and one could easily figure out that it was edited.

In conclusion, Law Abiding Citizen challenges me so much, and I feel that, in my own point of view, he should have been jailed because the government needed to save life of people not when people now take laws into their hand, then you come out to fight. This movie is a must-watch for those that derive much pleasure in watching action movie and crime scene.
