I was rooting for Butler's character almost the entire movie. And I still hated Foxx's character at the end. I also had no problem with everyone who died with the exception of one and of course the two at the beginning.
Odd flick, but I loved the cell phone trick.
One thing, if he was such an amazing guy, how could have two idiots killed his family on a simple home invasion?
Worth the $1 Redbox rental. No way would I have dropped $10 on this.
Exactly BECAUSE it was just a simple home invasion ... he wasn't sitting around planning for it. There was a knock on the door and a bat in the face.
Agree on the cell phone ... that was pretty badass. And I, too, rooted for Butler almost the whole way, which is why I say the plot played out nicely. It was a satisfying ending and I wasn't sure they'd be able to pull that off.
The Cheese factor for Law Abiding Citizen was quite high. I can't say I regret seeing it in theater, but I wasn't expecting too much and wasn't disappointed. The final plot point about the tunnel made was the eye-rolling, GMAFB moment. Fortunately, it came was so near the end that it didn't matter. This is a movie that would have loved to be as good as Taken, but couldn't quite get there.
