Traumatized by the atrocious murders of his wife and daughter -- and the flawed justice system that set the killers free -- Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) gives in to his rage and sets out on a course of vengeance. He soon takes on not only the prosecutor involved in the case, Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), but also the city of Philadelphia. Director F. Gary Gray's bold crime thriller co-stars Viola Davis and Michael Gambon. (Netflix.com)
Grade: B+
This was a really good movie about a man who just wants to see everyone involved in the murders of his family, and subsequent trial of those murderers, see justice. He's felt like he was failed but the judicial system, and therefore, they've all got to go! The acting was great, the action was great, and more than that, the idea behind the movie is one I'm sure we can all imagine happening. I'm sure people who have been a victim of a violent crime where the perpetrator has been "let off" for one reason or another has felt like all involved deserved to be punished. This is the movie that fallows that victim as he exacts that punishment. This movie really has you rooting for him, even though he's definitely NOT doing the right thing. Good watch! Check it out!
