Law Abiding Citizen Critic Reviews

  • "The film's greatest sin isn't its cynical moral posturing but its complete failure to engage audiences on even a visceral level. " Los Angeles Times

    - Glenn Whipp

  • "...most of what we see on the screen is implausible, superficial and only marginally involving." USA Today

    - Claudia Puig

  • "Law Abiding Citizen, a twisty hybrid of serial-killer suspenser, legal thriller and prison drama that, in between grisly setpieces, attempts to raise significant questions about the failures of the criminal justice system." Variety
