Dedicated to late publicist Danny Duran. This was the last 4K UHD he sent me after a decades long career in home video publicity.
Law Abiding Citizen was kind of highbrow torture porn. Jamie Foxx plays a lawyer so smooth he often favors the system over justice. Gerard Butler is avenging his family and calling out the system’s blind spots, with elaborate kill scenes.
So the clue blue grit is consistent with prison, warehouses and courtrooms. It’s not as grimy as Saw but one could imagine this is the upper crust of that world. The 4K UHD also boasts some haunting shadows in the prison cell and tunnels underneath.
Archival extras explore the legal system as well as the making of the film with stars and director F. Gary Gray giving interviews.
