09-25-2009 Weirdest Robkast In the soon to be released movie Law Abiding Citizen, Clyde Shelton played by Gerard Butler(300) is an upstanding family man whose wife
and daughter are brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the
killers are caught, Nick Rice played by Jamie Foxx(Ray), a hotshot young
Philadelphia prosecutor, is assigned to the case. Over his objections,
Nick is forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light
sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice.
Jaime Foxx and Gerard Butler
Fast forward ten years. The man who got away with murder is found dead
and Clyde Shelton coolly admits his guilt. Then he issues a warning to
Nick: Either fix the flawed justice system that failed his family, or
key players in the trial will die. Soon Shelton follows through on his threats, orchestrating from his
jail cell a string of spectacularly diabolical assassinations that can
be neither predicted nor prevented. Philadelphia is gripped with fear
as Shelton's high-profile targets are slain one after another and the
authorities are powerless to halt his reign of terror. Only Nick can
stop the killing, and to do so he must outwit this brilliant sociopath
in a harrowing contest of wills in which even the smallest misstep
means death. With his own family now in Shelton's crosshairs, Nick
finds himself in a desperate race against time facing a deadly
adversary who seems always to be one step ahead.
