Law Abiding Citizens




A brilliant man orchestrates a series of high-profile murders that grip the city of Philadelphia - all from inside his jail cell. The prosecutor assigned to his case realizes he is the only one who can end the reign of terror. The plot focuses on a man who, ten years after his wife and daughter are brutally murdered, returns to extract justice from the assistant district attorney who prosecuted the case against their killers. His vengeance threatens not only the man who allowed mercy to supersede justice, but also the system and the city that made it so.


The movie begins with aerial shots which helps to show the city setting. During high intensity scenes extreme close up shots are used. Several long shots are used which show the busy surroundings and the main character walkin away from it all. A lot of natural light is used. Spot lights are used at various points to highlight key characters or objects. Low shots are used several times through out the movie as if to show the superiority of certain characters.
