Law Abiding Citizens

Synopsis

Clyde Shelton is desperate to exact revenge on those who killed his family as well as the police officials, including attorney Nick Rice, who could not guarantee a proper jail term for the culprits.

A Broken System: The story begins when Clyde Shelton's family is murdered, but prosecutor Nick Rice cuts a plea deal with the main killer to protect his high conviction rate. Vigilante Retribution: Shelton spends a decade plotting a meticulous revenge campaign not just against the killers, but against the entire legal apparatus that failed him. Moral Ambiguity: The film forces viewers to question whether the orderly rules of the law are truly just, or if they just protect an indifferent institution at the expense of human tragedy.
