I can hardly watch this movie, it is such a great injustice. Gerry was at his finest, it is just the material is so hard to watch. Jamie Fox is not one of my favorite actors and I really wanted to see him suffer. The ending lets you decide that for yourself, but I was not satisfied the way it ended. Jamies character gave me the thought that he wasn't really affected by his people being blown away.
What are your thoughts on this my friends.....

Honestly skosh I didn't like the ending at all. To me I like the premise of the film but I don't think it was one of Gerry's strong performances.

Yeah this movie is not one of my favorites at best it was okay.I understand that they exchanged roles, maybe they should have played their original roles, don't know if that would have made a difference.

Impressive, glad this is happening....but this is not a movie I can watch more than I have to. I do think the story is a very good one, but it tears you apart with what is wrong and what is right.... Jamie Fox, actually did his part well, thought his character was a bad person, because how could you in all accuality choose that scoundrel to set you up in your career, pretty bad dude! (Jamie). But Butler also was good, very believable and you find yourself rooting for him...but he was not right either.... did he get the better deal by getting to live, yet have this on his conscience for the rest of his life? I just did not feel Jamie was really suffering because he was not in any hurry to save his people during this terrible ordeal? Of course this is the whole premise of the movie to have the audience gripped and I feel it really served its purpose!!

If anyone gets the paramount channel at 11am today they are showing the directors cut of this movie. So it will have more scenes in it. That is EST in the US.

I watched the movie and the directors cut has so many more scenes connected. They should never cut a DVD without the directors scenes included. It is amazing the edit dept can cut a scene so close to make sense of it. It actually made the movie better with the included parts left in.

Well, this is a unbelievable development they are going to do a sequel to LAC and Gerry is reprising his role and as a G-Base production. according to Deadline Hollywood.. ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ Sequel In The Works With Village Roadshow & Rivulet Films A follow-up to the $130M-plus grossing movie Law Abiding Citizen is happening with producer Lucas Foster and screenwriter Kurt Wimmer returning, as well as Gerard Butler and his G-Base partner Alan Siegel reprising their roles as producers.More here deadline.com/2022/05/law-abiding-citizen-sequel-village-roadshow-rivulet-films-1235029604/personally, I hated this movie, I wonder what film got shelved for Gerry to want to bring this role back..

Not sure how they will do this sequel but I think I learned, if true, the why. It seems it could be due to copyright laws, and stopping another studio doing a remake of the LAC once that copyright expires. LAC has become so popular streaming after its release 13 years ago, and if a sequel is made it will continue to retain its copyright for the original movie.
So, I think even if the sequel isn’t the best as the original movie it will remain Gerry’s property longer. Plus right now with all of the exposure streaming provides LAC there is still interest in a sequel.
Best of luck Gerry with the film… even though I am not a fan of this movie.

The only thing I can see is a continued revenge movie against the Jamie Fox part. Maybe an unknown family member wanting to bring Jamie down. Maybe Gerry's part didn't die but just made it look like he did. That could possibly be used as a story. If Clyde does survive, he could be disfigured to go after the rest of the people who have slighted him. The explosion would have seemed to leave no real trace of Clyde. Thinking he was disintegrated so nothing was left of his body to find. The only thing is it better be a good story because he doesn't need a flop against him. So many times, a sequel is made, and it just doesn't live up to the original story.

Forbes has an article and they say why a sequel too. They are saying going by Netflix popularity happens to a lot of movies. They did say Greenland and DOT2 are a good canidate for a sequel. The same thing they brought up was clyde died in an explosion at the end of the movie. If there is so many questioning the end how do they plan on answering that. I think that is not a good idea for a sequel.

Lolita I just found that article from Forbes…and I have to agree when you read the entire article why make this movie now. But This guy gets me mad and he thinks Gerry only a B Actor.. Wait, So Why Are We Getting A Sequel To ‘Law Abiding Citizen’? quote- W hat’s odd about this greenlight is that the press release bragged about the film’s status as Netflix’s third-most watched film for December of 2021, behind Red Notice and The Unforgivable, as if forgotten, ignored or fondly remembered studio programmers don’t become momentary Netflix hits every single week. Best I can tell, Law Abiding Citizen was third in America on the week of December 6 and fifth on the week of December 13. It was never in the global top ten.www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2022/05/23/law-abiding-citizen-gerard-butler-jamie-foxx-netflix-movies/?sh=b8f6dfd4815d

That is the reason why make a sequel. If it was such a huge hit then why wasnt it a block buster when it was released. His movies do well on subscribed sites like netflix. I guess you only pay a monthly fee so you can watch as much as you like. His current movies dont do well at the box office so at least they are seen at streaming places. I dont know why he would even think this is a good idea. It is being trashed before its even made. I also think this is one of those announced projects that will never get made. It will disappear like so many other projects.
