If you haven't seen Law Abiding Citizen yet, you most definitely need to. I haven't seen a really good movie all year, but this movie which was released Friday takes the cake.
Some movies that I have seen in the past start off very slow and it takes time for the movie to build-up to something great. However, Law Abiding Citizen starts with suspense. The first scene will have you at the edge of your seat with your mouth open.
I must admit that I'm a sucker for a Jamie Foxx movie; he always gives them that extra zest. He hasn't failed me yet.
And the gentleman that's his co-star, Gerard Butler (Clyde Shelton) did a phenomenal job as well. This man played a heck of a role and did what any parent would think about doing if someone attacked their family.
In the first scene Clyde Shelton's home is invaded and his wife and daughter are murdered. As the movie progresses all counterparts involved in the murders; including the lawyers, cops, criminals, and innocent by-standers are targets for revenge.
Jamie Foxx (Nick Rice) who plays a lawyer becomes a target, after he lets the criminals of the crime off easy. Shelton begins to send Rice on a wild goose chase to figure out whose killing all the people involved in the case.
All of Rice’s co-workers are being murdered one- by- one; eventually Rice realizes that he may be the last one to die.
Throughout the movie Shelton's insanity becomes very obvious, but at the same time he's sane.
He knows the law very well and he uses his profession and his financial status to create the movie's most shocking turn of events.
With that being said, Shelton is a braniac and will do any and everything to make a point.
As I stated before, Law Abiding Citizen, is a must see. Don't bootleg it or hear about via your friends, co-workers, church members, or Thanx Janay!
Go see it!!!!
Support Jamie Foxx and also the movie.
F.Y.I. If you’re on a budget, go see the movie during matinee times...it’s cheaper.

Baby falls at train station
A 6-month-old baby survived after his stroller rolled off a railway station platform and into the path of an incoming train, according to CNN.com.
This incident happened yesterday at Ashburton railway station in Melbourne, Australia, the footage was captured by CCTV.
The baby's mother let go of the stroller, then moments later the stroller rolls over the edge of the platform. To make matters worse, a train then pulls into the station.
After being dragged 30 meters (33 yards) further up the track, before the train came to a halt, the baby in the stroller survived, according to CNN.com.
The baby was immediately rushed to Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital but was later discharged.
Ironically, this incident happened just a day after the launch of a public awareness campaign warning of the dangers of strollers on platforms.
Victoria state police sergeant Michael Ferwerda told Channel 7 (a local news station): "Parents especially need to be vigilant especially with toddlers."
Obama administration closes on fiscal 2009
The Obama administration on Friday said the government ran a $1.42 trillion deficit in fiscal year 2009, according to CNN.com.
With these numbers, 2009 has been one of the worse years since WWII, according to data from the Treasury and the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Tax receipts for the year fell 16.6% overall, while spending soared 18.2% compared to fiscal year 2008. The causes: rising unemployment, the economic slowdown and the extraordinary measures taken by lawmakers to stem the economic meltdown that hit in fall 2008.Consequently, the annual deficit rose 212% to the record dollar amount of $1.42 trillion, from $455 billion a year earlier, according to CNN.com
September 30 was the end of the fiscal year.
Interracial couple can't get married in Louisiana
Justice of the peace for Tangipahoa Parish's 8th Ward, Keith Bardwell, may have some pressure to resign after he refused to marry an interracial couple in Louisiana.
Bardwell wouldn't issue a marriage license to Beth Humphrey, 30, and her boyfriend, Terence McKay, 32, both of Hammond, LA., according to CNN.com.
The elected official told Hammond's Daily Star newspaper that he was concerned for the children who might be born of the relationship and that, in his experience, most interracial marriages don't last.
"I'm not a racist," Bardwell told the newspaper. "I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house. My main concern is for the children."
Humphrey told CNN that she called Bardwell on October 6 to ask about getting a marriage license, and was asked by his wife whether it would be an interracial marriage. Humphrey said she was told that Bardwell does not sign off on interracial marriages.
She said the couple -- who received their marriage license October 9 from another justice of the peace in the same parish -- has reached out to an attorney to determine their next step.
