Law Abiding Citizen - "R".
Wow....ok, it's been a looonnnng time since a movie that was billed as a "Psychological Thriller" has, well, psychologically thrilled me, but this one left me nearly exhausted!!!
WARNING: This is not a movie for the faint of heart. It is gritty and hard hitting, it keeps you guessing and transfixed, your heart will pound and your mind will race. Without giving any "spoilers" I will warn you that the opening scene....is one of the hardest to get through. But, it does serve a purpose and the gratuitous path they could have gone down with it, was (thankfully) NOT taken.
It is neither a "chick flick" nor is it a "feel good hit of the year" although I, myself am a "chick" and I felt pretty darn good at several points during the movie, to be honest.
Gerard Butler (*dreamy sigh*) does a magnificent job in a very difficult role and Jamie Foxx continues to impress me with his acting abilities and his talent. The plot opens up almost gracefully and the story line is well constructed with only a few minor flaws that I will blame solely on the editing.
Good movie. Very good movie.

I haven't seen it yet, but the reviews I've heard were great for the movie. No so for Jaime's acting. They say that he can't act unless he is imitating someone else (Ray), otherwise he acts the same way in every movie.

Well, you will have to let us know your spin on it once you see it I can honestly say his talents have improved. Noticeably.

I met Jamie a few weeks ago - he did a show at Merriweather. Really nice guy - and he really needs to stick to acting!

"Did a show"....was it comedy or musical?

Jamie Foxx is really talented musically. I saw him play music on a show and was very surprised. He has always been one of my favorite comedians.

"Did a show"....was it comedy or musical? It was all his original music - complete with back up singers, costume changes between each song, etc. Quite a production - but overall not very impressive.
