Law Abiding Citizen
« on: February 22, 2010, 02:20:29 PM »
We watched this yesterday.  The trailers looked OK, the reviews were ehhhhhhhh OK.  The movie was awesome!  Besides the ending which was only like 2 minutes of the whole thing, this movie rocked!  It is about a guy who got screwed by the judicial system and then decides to make a point in the biggest ways possible.

That's the movie with the dude from "The Ugly Truth", isn't it?  I remember seeing the trailers, and it looked very formulaic.

Good movie also.

I have watched all of the Guy Ritchie films a gajillion times.  Except for Revolver.  That thing made me want to rip my eyeballs out and bash my head against the wall just so I never had to see it again.  That was part of the Madonna sucking the life and soul out of him though.

I LOVE Guy Ritchie movies.  Snatch is my personal favorite.

You need to expand your horizons!  Snatch is an awesome start!

Mine too -- just slightly more than Snatch!  I've watched both many, many times.
