law abiding citizen (2009)

I can see why this crime/revenge thriller got decent critical reviews but real people disliked it - interesting premise, guy takes revenge on the killers and the legal system involved in not bringing them to justice, do you support the revenge superhero murderer or the narcissistic prosecutor, but the movie really goes slapstick by the last third and bungles the landing pretty badly.

Watts’s second entry in the Rifters series doesn’t quite have the same unique magnetic characters of the first (and maybe it has slightly too many characters in general) but what it lacks in story it makes up for in prediction and world - read this to wallow in a truly terrible future dystopia that feels extremely likely.
