Channel 4

"Put simply, this writer would take any number of bad movies over one nasty film. And make no mistake about it, Law Abiding Citizen is a very nasty movie indeed. There ought to be a law against it."

ViewLondon

"If you can get past its rather unpleasant, reactionary message, this is a slickly made, trashily entertaining and ridiculously implausible thriller that's more fun than it has any right to be."

The Mirror

"If you thought the Death Wish movies couldn't be dumbed down, here's clunking proof to the contrary. The last half-hour is preposterous, but the film's worst fault is that we're asked to root for Clyde as he goes from righteous avenger to complete nutjob."
