Law Abiding Citizen: $habooty Movie Review

Law Abiding Citizen: $habooty Movie Review

Last night I saw Law Abiding Citizen. Now, I dunno about you, but a lot of times after I watch a movie, (and am near a comp), I check out Roger Ebert’s review, to see what he said. His review was on point. One thing he said though in particular: “Law Abiding Citizen” is one of those movies you like more at the time than in retrospect. I mean, come on, [no way that could happen in real life], you’re thinking. Still, there’s something to be said for a movie you like well enough at the time.

So, I figured I would wait a day to write my review and I think Roger is right.

Basically, it’s a good movie, but it has major flaws that don’t follow common sense. However, by the time it ‘shows its hand’ if you will, it’s so late into the movie that at that point you don’t care, cause you’ve enjoyed the ride thus far. And by show its hand, I mean a hand of retarded flawed logic.

MAJOR SPOILERS ***IF YOU READ THESE IT WILL ALMOST MAKE WATCHING THE MOVIE POINTLESS***

Basically, the whole movie you’re wondering how this guy is killing mad peoples from inside his jail cell. Does he have superpowers or what?

Then you get the answer…*SPOILERS*

Basically, he owned a property next to the jail and had tunneled into the solitary confinement hole, so he was able to freely leave the jail to commit more murders… okay, yeah right. What an amazing revelation, how amazingly original.

Even before that, there’s a scene where he’s in jail and he demands a 22oz steak in return for a recorded confession. So, he gets his steak and there’s a SHARP BONE in the steak and he uses that sharp, shank-like bone and he stabs and kills his cell-mate (so they’d transfer him to solitary confinement). Okay… right.

And lastly, Gerard Butler produced this movie. Now, which brings me to how Gerard is in real life. I am pretty sure he’s one of those LA party boys that finds himself hanging with the likes of Li-Loh, etc. So, what’s my point? Leslie Bibb. Leslie Bibb (the hot chick from Taladega Nights) is in this, and she’s supposed to be some brainy lawyer chick. Yeah, right! I am pretty sure she was only cast because Gerard Butler wanted to smash that in his trailer.

As far as Jamie Foxx, at first I wasn’t sure if I could look at him seriously as a lawyer type, but he pulls it off. I think when he acts, he brings up a lot of his growing up in Texas ways… what I mean by that, is he’s a no-nonsense (southern) guy, so that worked well for his role in this movie. No homo in advance – and of course Gerard had a scene where he was showing off his 300 abs (and he’s buck-ass naked)… no Gerard Butler movie could go without that. Yawn.
