I’m The Critic

Law Abiding Citizen was directed by F. Gary Gray from a screenplay written by Kurt Wimmer, There are a couple main actors such as Jamie Foxx, Gerard Butler, Bruce McGill, Colm Meaney, Leslie Bibb, Michael Irby and Regina Hall. This film was based on multiple genres like suspense, thriller, and drama. The film takes place in Philadelphia which tells the story of a man who became traumatized by the memory of the killing of his wife and daughter. He researches the government and the way law works while holding an occupation as an engineer, for 10 years he plans out exactly how he will kill his family’s killer as well as attacking the criminal justice system at the same time. F. Gary Gary Gray has directed other movies such as Friday and Set it Off.  Law Abiding Citizen was edited by Tariq Anwar, in my opinion, the movie was very well put together from beginning to end. The moments where I was left hanging at the edge of my chair were worth it. The background music and such was done by Brian Tyler, he really did a good job on the suspense parts, he had a little  (doom -doom, doom-doom) going on in there which made me aware that something was going to happen. Overall the movie was top notch. I’d watch it again and again if I didn’t burn the disc out already…
