Description:
Law Abiding Citizen is a 2009 thriller film directed by F. Gary Gray from a screenplay written by Kurt Wimmer, and starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler. The film takes place in Philadelphia and tells the story of a man who decides to exact justice on his family's killers, as well as the criminal justice system. Law Abiding Citizen was released theatrically in North America on October 16, 2009.After witnessing his wife raped and daughter killed in a home invasion, engineer Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is told that one of the criminals responsible will only get a light conviction, as much of the evidence against him was compromised by a bungled forensic investigation. Shelton pleads for the prosecutor, Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), to take the case to court. Rice is mostly interested in maintaining his 96% conviction rate and advancing his legal career, and tells Shelton that the case is too weak. Rice then makes a deal with Clarence Darby, the actual criminal who murdered and raped Shelton's wife and daughter, for third-degree murder; his accomplice, Rupert Ames, is sent to death row. Shelton later sees Rice shaking hands with Darby as if they had just finished a deal, and feels betrayed./nTen years later, Ames is executed by lethal injection; due to a chemical alteration, he dies in agonizing pain. Initial evidence leads to Darby, who is alerted to the presence of police by a stranger who calls his phone, helping him escape. The stranger orders Darby to throw away his gun and get in a cop car. He says that he will find a cop sleeping in the car. The caller tells Darby to make the cop drive to an abandoned warehouse. Once at the warehouse, Darby forces the cop out of the car and, with the cop's gun, gets ready to execute him. However, the cop is revealed to be Shelton in disguise, who reveals that he is also the stranger who called him; when Darby attempts to shoot him, the gun handle injects him with tetrodotoxin, paralyzing him but leaving him fully aware. Shelton leads Darby into the warehouse, where he straps him to an operating table, confessing that he had caused the chemical alteration that killed Ames. At that point, Shelton dismembers Darby alive to avenge his family's murder. The police find Darby's remains, and they quickly arrest Shelton, who offers no resistance./nRice interrogates Shelton and congratulate him on removing Darby from society. Shelton initially appears to confess to the crime, and Rice begins to depart, but Shelton points out that his carefully worded statement was not technically a confession. During this time, Rice's family receives a DVD of Shelton torturing Darby to death. Shelton agrees to make a real confession in exchange for an expensive mattress in his prison cell. Rice agrees after his superior orders him to agree, as there is virtually no real evidence connecting Shelton to the murder. At his hearing, Shelton opposes Rice's motion to deny him bail, citing obscure legal precedents. After Judge Laura Burch (Annie Corley), who also presided at Ames trial, agrees, Shelton begins a tirade, railing against the court's preference for legal technicalities over justice, and is removed for contempt of court./nRice delivers Shelton's mattress and receives his confession of the murders of Darby and Ames. However, Shelton bargains to make another confession for the life of Bill Reynolds (Richard Portnow), Darby's attorney. Shelton claims that Reynolds is alive, and will give his location in exchange for an expensive steak dinner from Del Frisco's delivered at precisely 1 p.m., along with music from his iPod. Despite repeating that the time must be exact, Warden Inger (Gregory Itzin) forces multiple searches, resulting in Shelton receiving his lunch eight minutes late. After getting Reynolds' location, Rice and Detective Dunnigan (Colm Meaney) take a helicopter to it, only to find Reynolds buried alive and only minutes dead, with Inger's delay causing him to suffocate. Shelton, after finishing lunch, brutally murders his cellmate by stabbing him in the neck six times using the sharp bone from his steak. Shelton is then put into solitary confinement./nAfter Rice's assistant, Sarah Lowell (Leslie Bibb), finds evidence of contract payments to Shelton from the Department of Defense, district attorney Jonas Cantrell (Bruce McGill) takes Rice to meet a CIA operative (Michael Kelly) who worked with Shelton. The operative tells them that Shelton was a "brain" for the CIA, working in a black ops think tank, that he was the best in the field until he retired, and that if Shelton wants them dead, he will succeed unless they kill him first. The following day, Rice and Cantrell convince Burch to sign an order restricting Shelton's privileges, despite the fact that this might violate his civil rights. Moments later, she answers her cell phone which explodes next to her head, killing her instantly./nRice confronts Shelton, who says the killings are not about revenge, but about the failure of the justice system, and Rice's personal failure to keep his word. He then claims that, unless he is released with all charges dropped by 6 A.M., he will kill everyone in the DA's office. The office workers congregate at the prison until 6 A.M. passes. Rice sends them all home to rest. As they enter their cars, bombs go off from underneath each vehicle, killing six, including Sarah. Realizing that Shelton is keeping good to his word, Rice ponders how Shelton can commit a spree of murders on the outside while behind bars, leading him to speculate that Shelton has an accomplice./nAt Sarah's funeral, a remote drone slaughters several attendees, including Cantrell. Rice is appointed acting DA by the mayor (Viola Davis), who rejects Rice's initial resignation, and a meeting is called to determine a way to remove Shelton. Rice, via Sarah's computer, receives some information that points to Shelton owning a garage next to the prison. He and Dunnigan examine the garage, finding a tunnel system leading to every solitary cell, including Shelton's. Upon entering Shelton's cell, Rice finds it empty./nShelton, dressed as a janitor, plants a napalm bomb in City Hall, planning to kill the mayor and most of the senior staff of the Philadelphia emergency services as the final cog of his master plan; however, Rice finds it just in time. Upon his return to his cell, Shelton is confronted by Rice. Shelton offers one final deal which Rice refuses, stating that he no longer makes deals with murderers. Rice calmly tells Shelton that if he attempts to detonate the bomb, he'll have to live with the consequences for the rest of his life. Shelton, after considering for a long moment, does so anyway. Rice locks shut Shelton's cell and again tells him that he will have to live with this decision the rest of his life. He then says that the rest of his life will be twenty-five seconds, as they have moved the bomb from city hall and placed it under his cot. Dunnigan locks his escape route and he and Rice both run from the building. Shelton tries to stop the bomb but quickly realizes he can't. He then calmly looks at a bracelet made by his daughter just before her murder. The bomb goes off, killing Shelton and destroying most of the cell block./nThe film ends with Rice finally joining his wife for his daughter's recital.Cast/n * Jamie Foxx as Nick Rice * Gerard Butler as Clyde Shelton * Viola Davis as the Mayor of Philadelphia * Bruce McGill as Jonas Cantrell * Leslie Bibb as Sarah Lowell * Colm Meaney as Detective Dunnigan * Regina Hall as Kelly Rice * Michael Kelly as CIA Operative Bray * Michael Irby as Detective Garza * Roger Bart as Brian Bringham * Jade Whitehead as Brenda Song * Christian Stolte as Clarence Darby * Josh Stewart as Rupert Ames Production/nFilming began in January 2009 and took place in and around Philadelphia. Filming locations included Philadelphia's City Hall and the old Broadmeadows prison./nButler and his production company developed the film. For the two years of planning, Butler planned to play Nick Rice. At the last minute he decided that it would be interesting to take on the role of Clyde. Since Jamie Foxx was already signed on to play Clyde, he asked if he would mind switching roles. Foxx loved his performance in 300 and thought that as a viewer he would love seeing Gerard "beating people and blowing stuff up"Music/nThe score to Law Abiding Citizen was composed by Brian Tyler, who recorded his score with a 52-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony at the Sony Scoring Stage with help from Kieron Charlesworth. The movie also uses "Eminence Front" by The Who and "Engine No. 9" by Deftones on Clyde's iPod while he is eating his steak in his cell. While Clyde calls Darby to help him 'escape' the police after Ames' execution, "Bloodline" by Slayer is Darby's ringer.Theatrical/nThe film was released theatrically on October 16, 2009.
