If you are one of those people who can't suspend disbelief, avoid this movie. If however you're willing to forgive a few gaps in plausibility and enjoy a movie as a visceral experience this may very well be the movie for you. Law Abiding Citizen plucks at our inner angry man with none too subtle fingers as the plot is established and really hits its stride as a tale of punishment, not revenge the message of which with Clyde trying to teach a lesson reminded me greatly of classic issue's of Punisher War Journal that I loved as a kid. Unfortunately this leads to the movies most obvious flaw. It so effectively sets up Clyde as an omnipotent instrument of mayhem that when the reveal is revealed it can't help but disappoint, especially if you were like me and had a much more satisfying conclusion moving thru your head. Not a great piece of cinema, but an enjoyable movie certainly that for 90% of its runtime will have you firmly on the edge of your seat. Most of the criticism levelled at this movie by RT's professional critics is probably legitimate, but frankly most casual viewers just won't care because they'll be too busy enjoying the ride.
