F. Gary Gray's Law Abiding Citizen Trailer with Gerard Butler
August 13, 2009

Whoa, I did not see this coming! The trailer for F. Gary Gray's Law Abiding Citizen starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx has debuted on Entertainment Tonight (via GerardButler.net). Normally they re-edit and screw up the trailer, but this time they have a clean embed of the trailer, even though it's a lot smaller than I'd like it. This is another one of those revenge stories, but you just wait, it starts to get a bit interesting part of the way through. I don't know why, but I wasn't expecting anything special - boy was I wrong! This looks awesome, I can't wait to see how it plays out and what the heck is even going on!
Watch the trailer for F. Gary Gray's Law Abiding Citizen:
You can also watch the Law Abiding Citizen trailer in High Definition on Apple
An everyday guy (Gerard Butler) decides to take justice into his own hands after a plea bargain sets his family's killers free. His target: The district attorney (Jamie Foxx) who orchestrated the entire deal.
Law Abiding Citizen is directed by New York filmmaker F. Gary Gray, of Friday, Set It Off, The Negotiator, A Man Apart, The Italian Job, and Be Cool previously. The screenplay was written by fellow filmmaker Kurt Wimmer, who wrote Sphere, The Thomas Crown Affair, Equilibrium, The Recruit, and Street Kings most recently. Overture Films is bringing Law Abiding Citizen to theaters everywhere on October 16th this fall.

Looks great and it's cool to finally see Butler as the villan. I'm tired of seeing him in all these corny romantic comedies and this should deffentially bring him back on track. Great cast too.

Looks fantastic. Probably going to be one of the most underrated films next year. Reminds me a bit of Death Race meets The Jackel meets Face/Off meets Saw. I am very excited, let's just hope they execute.

Wow, a shiver went up my spine the shot of Butler after Foxx said "The deal is done, I'm sorry." That expression on Butler's face is just amazing to see.

Loved it, but I think a little too much was shown in the trailer, but I'll forgive it, because it looks awesome, Glad to see Butler doing some good guy/bad guy/anti-hero role.

he's just showin the SYSTEM what happens when you let the bad people free.

this looks very promising.
but I have a feeling it'll end up being a forgettable crime action movie

TWO THINGS
#1 - Anytime you can use the line, "It's going to be biblical." and it sounds badass, I'm so there.
#2 - The shot at the end of the trailer was sweet.

Thanks for putting it up again, Alex!! 
It's great to see Gerard Butler back in the action zone.. instead of those rom coms! I've totally marked my calendar for this one! Sweeet!

Jamie picked the wrong sidekick to go up against Gerard "Rape your Life" Butler. He's the one that let the Joker escape after they had him captured.

This looks great. How will the press bring this down? Wish they would give Gerry his due, he is a good actor. I agree with jwm - Oscar anyone?

Nerve racking, definitely a movie for the guys. Pleased the acting roles were changed and we see many sides of Gerry but do not know if I will survive the movie.

This looks great! I can't wait. They did show quite a bit for a trailer. I hope that means that there is a wicked twist towards the end.

Sorry, sick of DIVA FOXX, sick of Quaid, getting tired already of Butler - there is a thing called over exposure you know - and I'm so, so, sick of that overrated, hyper lucky Worthington guy, who is not even in this but yet, I'm over him, his crappy American accent, dopey Aussie accent and his foul mouthed, Foxx inspired diva-ness.

I can't agree more with post #17. I don't think I've been this excited to see a movie in a very long time.
