Law Abiding Citizen
Whoever thought to combine torture porn with an indictment of our legal system should be chopped limb from limb. Law Abiding Citizen is a silly movie--preposterous and overblown, full of cringe-worthy ham-fisted preaching about right and wrong, and justice-only-for-the-just sentiments, while slyly setting up audience-cheering moments, like when Bad Guy #2 dies by agonizing vein-bursting, or a burglar gets whittled down to a torso. Law Abiding Citizen aims to set up a classic battle of wits, à la The Fugitive; unfortunately, no one here has any wits.
