If you watch Law Abiding Citizen online, you’ll see a terrific crime thriller. Director F. Gary Gray takes a screenplay written by Kurt Wimmer and turns it into a movie too good to miss. The two main cast members are Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler.

Gerard Butler plays a man named Clyde Shelton who wants revenge on the murderers that killed his wife and daughter and revenge on the justice system in general. Scenes of intense violence, including rape and torture, plus harsh language are the reasons for the film’s R rating. Because the movie is so intense, you may want to lock your doors and windows when you watch Law Abiding Citizen online.

Though one killer ends up on death row, the other is let off lightly due to a plea bargain deal. Shelton ends up in prison too after an attempt at retribution. But jail isn’t enough to stop Shelton from repaying those in the criminal justice system who he believes failed him badly.

You can see landmarks like Philadelphia’s city hall and the Broadmeadows penitentiary when you watch Law Abiding Citizen online. Do you think you know who the “bad guy” in Law Abiding Citizen is? The DA who failed Shelton by letting one of his wife and daughter’s killers off easily?

Your perspective may shift more than once in this movie. Rice isn’t perfect – having made some dodgy deals as DA. But is he deserving of the fruits of Shelton’s out of control rage?

Shelton does some things that a sane person might think about but probably wouldn’t do. Shelton and Rice have their good sides and their bad sides.

In addition to Butler and Foxx, Michael Irby, Regina Hall, Colm Meany, Leslie Bibb, Bruce McGill, and Viola Davis appear in the movie. If you watch Law Abiding Citizen online, you’ll enjoy an original movie score, too. Brian Tyler composed the score, and it was performed by a 52 member subset of the Hollywood Studio Symphony.
