Default Law Abiding Citizen

I wasn't one, and watched a pirated copy of the movie and it was the best movie I have seen in a while.

If you like Dexter, you gotta see this movie. It is awesome.

I thought it was good... kind rediculous in some parts though.

It was kinda far fetched at times. The guy who burned me a copy tried to tell me it was based off a true story.

I liked most of it. The ending was a little flaky to me. It was kind of like the end of Huck Finn (everything just magicaly fell into place at the end). I've seen a lot of movies of late that have been good, but the endings have either ruined the film or lessened my enjoyment of the overall product.

I could always send you a copy if you are impatient......

It's a vigilante against the system type of movie.

My wife's co-worker found a copy that fell off a truck recently.

She let my wife borrow it overnight, and I just burned a copy. The biggest flaw is the low-grade production of these editions....

We expect to see it soon. Glad to hear it was worth seeing.

I understand. My copy has Russian subtitles so that would really be bad mixed with painkillers.

Vicodin and Russian subtitles would be bad, though Stoli might help my brain "translate" the rest.

Finally saw this tonight. I will agree with several that is was at times predictable, and at time far fetched. That being said, I watch a movie like this for entertainment rather than factual relevance, and it held my interest right up to the predictable ending. A definite B-.

I saw it in the movies. It was good. I am hoping the DVD has alternate endings.

Saw it was good but like someone said it had to much of a "magical" ending. Still a good flick though.

I thought this movie was great, it kept me entertained from beginning to end. I'll admit it was far-fetched, but I thought it was still a great movie.

I too would have liked a different ending.
