While some of the movie was fairly predictable, I feel the story was very well written and the action well paced. Overall, “Law Abiding Citizen” is an excellent film portraying how two high
Rated PG13 Directed by Drew Barrymore Starring Ellen Page, Marcia Gay Harden, Kristin Wiig, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis Heidi’s Illustrious Rating: 3.5 Word of Warning: None really, just have a good time and try not to bruise your elbows or get a black eye.
