Law Abiding Citizen Trailer Starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler
The first trailer for the upcoming thriller Law Abiding Citizen has hit the web this week, and while the concept is a little bit out there, I’m sure it’s one that will hook a lot of people. Gerard Butler plays Clyde Shelton, a man whose wife and daughter are murdered, while Jamie Foxx plays the prosecutor who lets his family’s killer walk. Unfortunately for Foxx, Shelton is not as ordinary as he might seem, and he decides to exact his own brand of justice on those responsible.
The movie reminds me a little bit of Dexter meets Taken, and I have a feeling a lot will ride on the believability of the script, which is written by Kurt Wimmer who wrote and directed Equilibrium and Ultraviolet, and also wrote The Thomas Crown Affair, The Recruit and Street Kings. The movie is directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, The Negotiator, The Italian Job). Check out the trailer below and see what you think. Law Abiding Citizen hits theatres on October 16th.

I hope Gerard Butler gets to yell, “Yes they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!” This doesn’t look like it’ll be good, but if it were good it would kick ass, I think.

Posted by Maopheus on August 14th, 2009Yay yay yay. I watched this being shot all through the winter. I love it when my city actually gets some film gigs. ^__^
Don’t know if I care much for the actual film though, haha. We’ll see.
