Law Abiding Citizen (2009) – Review

When the United States justice system fails to properly punish those responsible for a brutal crime, Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) takes matters into his own hands.

Law Abiding Citizen is a compelling and thought-provoking film that still holds up perfectly in 2025. It’s worth noting that the movie is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

A unique plot which will more than likely divide opinion, but in my eyes, worthy of a watch. Saltburn is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
