...is one of those movies you like more at the time than in retrospect. I mean, come on, you're thinking. Still, there's something to be said for a movie you like well enough at the time.

Nådesløs hævn er en utrolig god film. Den er spænde, nærværende og uhyggelig.

Det er en film jeg vil anbefale

Law Abiding Citizen is an incredibly good movie. It's tense, present, and creepy.

It's a movie I'd recomm...

Frequently asked questions

What is Law Abiding Citizen about? Toggle content

Law Abiding Citizen is a thought-provoking crime thriller that explores the themes of justice, vengeance, and the dark side of human nature. The movie follows the story of Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler), a successful engineer whose life is shattered when his family is brutally murdered during a home invasion. As the investigation unfolds, Clyde becomes increasingly disillusioned with the justice system when he realizes that the prosecutor, Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), has made a plea deal with one of the killers in exchange for testimony against his accomplice. Feeling betrayed and frustrated, Clyde takes matters into his own hands and begins to mete out his own brand of justice against those he feels are responsible for his family's deaths. As Clyde's actions escalate and more people start to die, he becomes embroiled in a cat-and-mouse game with Nick and the law enforcement authorities. The movie raises important questions about the morality of vigilante justice and whether it's ever justifiable to take lives in order to right past wrongs. The tense plot twists and turns keep viewers on edge as they ponder these weighty issues for themselves.
