Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler are ‘Law Abiding Citizen’s

F. Gary Gray, the director of the upcoming thriller, ‘Law Abiding Citizen,’ has released these two poster on his Twitter page.   It’s not that big of a deal to do character posters for your film when you only have two, major stars on board.   Something tells me we’re not goin to be getting one of these for Colm Meaney or Bruce McGill, although Bruce McGill on a poster is long overdue.

‘Law Abiding Citizen’ stars Gerard Butler as a family man whose wife and daughter are brutally murdered.   Jamie Foxx plays the young prosecutor who works a deal to get the killers a lighter sentence.   Years later, Butler’s character devises a plot to either kill key players in the trial or have the legal system fixed.   It is up to the prosecutor to put an end to the killings.

The idea isn’t groundbreaking.   There are numerous movies about lawyers or judges being terrorized by someone who was wronged by the flawed legal system.   ‘Cape Fear’ is probably the most notable.   However, with these two stars driving the suspense, ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ could be one step ahead all the others.

It is set for release on October 16th.
