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
