This film is the latest work directed by F·Gary Gray, the director of "Ace vs. Ace". It also adopts the mode of confrontation between two heroes, telling how an originally innocent law-abiding citizen embarks on the road to breaking the law, but it is different. However, "Ace vs. Ace" finally ended in a reunion where the two heroes shook hands and talked and pulled out the black hand behind the scenes, while "Law Abiding Citizen" had been struggling to challenge the law and the two heroes' wit and courage. The more it became a popcorn style, the more it became a popcorn style, just to end it quickly. After all, it fell short. So, the puzzle of the suspense of the plot was not as brilliant as expected in the end. The handsome guy Gerald Butler and the actor Jamie Fox also just dedicated a performance like boiled water; and the director can save many moments of the plot, leaving a piece of blank space, the progress of the plot and the puzzle solving at the end seem a little difficult.
Much of the tension in the film comes from the tension between the two protagonists. When Gerald Butler and Jamie Fox faced off in prison, although there were no exciting action scenes, the film reached its climax at this time. This is the unique feature of "Law Abiding Citizen", and it is also a test of the two leading actors.
