In order to get that version, you'll need to make the leap to Blu-ray. Fans will be disappointed to discover that the film's 'Unrated Director's Cut' is not included on the DVD release.

Score: 7 out of 10 Extras and Packaging This single-disc DVD comes packed in a black amaray case with a glossy slipcover. Bass effects are aggressive and stable, never interfering with the presentation, but adding zest when needed. The film's score is wonderfully woven into the feature, driving the neo-noir thriller spirit into the picture with great ease. Discrete elements are well balanced and mixed throughout the front and rear surrounds, though the presentation does occasionally lack a certain three-dimensional pop. Thankfully, dialogue comes through clean and crisp - never deterred or distracted by intrusive surround elements. This is a dialogue-driven picture despite what one might have seen in the film's action-packed advertising campaign. Score: 8 out of 10 Languages and Audio Audio choices are English Dolby Digital 5.1 with Spanish subtitles and English captions for the hearing impaired. This isn't a reference presentation by any means, but it's not too shabby, either. Colors and flesh tones, though intentionally a bit desaturated, are solid. Black levels are perfect, presenting a deep, inky presentation. The transfer is quite sharp, but the film's almost monochromatic look does occasionally flatten details and depth. There are no dust, grain or white specks worth noting, nor did I spot any intrusive digital compression issues. Thankfully though, the print is spotless.

But the transfer does accurately represent the director's intentions. This is a heavily stylized film, and as such, it doesn't always look perfectly pristine. Score: 6 out of 10 Video and Presentation Law Abiding Citizen is presented in 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen.

But then something happens at the end of the first act - Shelton gets caught, and in a series of jail-room interrogations threatens that more victims will die, murders orchestrated from behind bars. In other words, bad people meet bad ends and the viewers, wondering what they might do to the killer of their own families, find themselves applauding Butler's actions rather than condemning them. But when the execution of the convicted murderer, his legal appeals diminished, goes horribly wrong, it becomes clear that Shelton may finally be seeking revenge with Rice as his ultimate target.ДЇrom there, Law Abiding Citizen proceeds like a competently made revenge thriller, offering up a smattering of relatively justified kills that are both gruesome and inventive. Shelton, in his rage, blames a broken legal system for the injustice and disappears for almost a decade. Jamie Foxx plays Nick Rice, an up-and-coming district attorney so unwilling to gamble on the system that he cuts a deal that sees only one of the two killers held responsible. Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is a father and husband whose family is killed during a random late-night break-in. After all, the white-hat and the black-hat need a final showdown and the audience should know who to root for.Д«ut what makes Law Abiding Citizen so interesting is that it does embrace at least an initial sense of moral confusion. Take two big personalities, put them on opposing sides of a conflict, add a dash of quasi-mystery that's neither brilliantly crafted nor entirely insubstantial, some gunfire, an explosion and an ending that erases any real sense of moral ambiguity. Law Abiding Citizen is, for all intents and purposes, a cinematic pot-boiler - the equivalent of a James Patterson beach-read - literate enough to be smarter than one might expect, but seldom about anything greater than pure, unabashed entertainment.
