One of my favorite psychological crime thrillers I have ever seen has to be Law Abiding Citizen.
Law Abiding Citizen is about a father/husband whose wife and daughter are killed by two burglars. One of the burglars was dropped of all charges for testifying against the burglar who had killed both the wife and daughter. The father/husband was extremely upset that one of the perpetrators was getting off clean. Years later he goes on a crime spree killing people to prove a point to the criminal justice system that they need to do whatever it takes to stop criminals.
The story is very compelling as we watch this man who you believe has every right for what he is doing kill people to prove a point to the justice system. I love the way this story is told as we don’t always know what is going on or what is going to happen because of his state of mind, it seems that he will do anything to prove his point. In this movie you are almost rooting for this man who has lost his loved ones as he is going off on a killing spree.
For those of you who love movies that keeps you guessing while having a solid compelling story you will love Law Abiding Citizen. Also any psychological thriller lovers you would absolutely love this movie. Everyone else should watch this movie as well because it brings our criminal justice system into question and points out major defects of the system. (I don’t know how accurate they are portrayed but it seems to be on the money to me.)
