<\/p>\nA Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx film that fans are still raving about has been added to a new streaming platform in the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n
Released in 2009, thriller Law Abiding Citizen follows Clyde Shelton (Butler), a former CIA engineer who exacts his revenge when his wife and daughter are brutally assaulted and killed during a home invasion.<\/p>\n
The film from director F Gary Gray takes things a step further than most revenge thrillers with a twisty development. <\/p>\n
After targeting Clarence Darby (Christian Stolte), the criminal responsible for the double murder, Clyde lets police arrest him but continues his plan from prison.<\/p>\n
Up against Clyde is Foxx’s Nick Rice, a Philadelphia prosecutor who originally couldn’t convict Darby due to mishandled evidence and made a plea deal with him.<\/p>\n

Co-produced by Butler and also starring Viola Davis and Leslie Bibb, Law Abiding Citizen has just landed on Prime Video for subscribers based in the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n
While critics didn’t seem to rate the movie, which mostly earned negative reviews, cinemagoers have been appreciating the “solid performances”, calling Law Abiding Citizen the “top 1 revenge flick”. <\/p>\n
“Finally a truly underrated movie. Love this one,” one fan wrote on Reddit<\/a>, warning anyone watching it for the first time that the film is “heavy”.<\/p>\n “This movie’s ratings don’t even make sense to me,” someone else wrote. “It’s a very watchable movie with solid performances. Obviously not a masterpiece but I don’t get it.”<\/p>\n A third person enthused: “Top 1 revenge flick. Also one of Jamie Foxx’s best dramatic turns imo.”<\/p>\n “I just watched this again the other day. Omg what an insanely good movie,” another fan wrote.<\/p>\n “I love how the whole premise of the movie makes you question if our protagonist is actually the antagonist the whole time.”<\/p>\n Overture Films<\/p>\n Butler will next team up with Foxx in sports comedy All-Star Weekend, which marks Foxx’s directorial debut. <\/p>\n Written and produced by Foxx, the film follows Malik (Foxx) and Danny (Jeremy Piven), two best friends who are NBA fanatics. The duo find themselves in a dangerous situation on their way to see their idols, LeBron James and Stephen Curry, during an All-Star Game.<\/p>\n The star-studded film also features Eva Longoria, Robert Downey Jr, Ken Jeong and Benicio del Toro.<\/p>\n Law Abiding Citizen in streaming on Prime Video in the UK.<\/p>\n Love TV?
