Law Abiding Citizen is a American vigilante action thriller film [3] [4] [5] directed by F. The film takes place in Philadelphia , telling the story of a man driven to seek justice while targeting not only his family's killer but also those who have supported a corrupt criminal justice system, intending to assassinate anyone supporting the system. Prosecuting attorney Nick Rice is unable to convict Darby due to mishandled evidence. Unwilling to risk lowering his high conviction rate, he makes a deal with Darby; he testifies against his accomplice Rupert Ames who only intended to steal from Clyde so he is convicted and sentenced to death, while Darby pleads guilty to third degree murder and receives a lighter sentence. Clyde feels betrayed by Nick and the justice system. Ten years later, during Ames' execution via lethal injection, he surprisingly dies in agonising pain.

Vigilante movies have a tendency to revolve around antiheroes who have lost their families or been wronged by the system. Michael Winner's Death Wish provided the template for films of this ilk back in , and most of them have adhered to a similar format since then. Law Abiding Citizen doesn't stray too far from the tried-and-tested formula, but F. Gary Gray's thriller also takes some detours into gross-out horror territory, reminiscent of the Saw franchise and The Silence of the Lambs. Law Abiding Citizen stars Gerard Butler as Clyde Shelton, a man who loses everything and goes on the rampage after the system fails to adequately punish his family's killers. However, what makes this particular vigilante unique is that he's in jail and able to slaughter his targets from a prison cell thanks to some elaborate underground tunnels. Jamie Foxx plays Nick Rice, an attorney who finds himself tangled up in Clyde's elaborate game of revenge after the deal he offered as prosecutor allowed the killers a lighter sentence for killing Clyde's family. This all leads to a shocking and violent climax, but what makes the ending so interesting? As with many vigilante movies, Law Abiding Citizen posits the argument that there are flaws in the justice system.
