Gerard Butler always looks more comfortable onscreen when he's bringing the pain than when he's bringing the hearts and flowers. And by those standards he's never looked more at ease than in Law Abiding Citizen, where he plays a bereaved husband and father who's out for vengeance. And here to prove it are two brand new posters. Yes, that's Butler's Clyde Shelton looking moody in the first poster, determined to get his revenge on the killers of his wife and daughter after they are offered a plea-bargain by ambitious District Attorney Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx, looking moody in the second). Only it turns out that Ordinary Joe Clyde has secret abilities that make him a pretty formidable guy when he puts his mind to something. You can check out the trailer for Law Abiding Citizen right over here. It's out on November 27 here in the UK.

I'm Really Looking Forward To This.
Like my title says, I really can't wait for this film. I have seen the trailer, looked at the awesome posters and waiting for the premire here. This has to be the best film of 2009 like framolamdu has said with Jamie Foxx looking a bit worried and Gerard Butler looking really mean/ moody. I like the tagline, sure it's not oringal but who cares? I'm going to see it when it comes out, bring on November fast! ... Read More joanna likes films About me

Worst. Tagline. Ever.
Or close to it, should have gone for something much simpler like 'He was nice...Now he's ruddy well mean!' ... Read More fuzzcaminski About me

RE: Law Abiding Citizen Posters
These are fantastic posters. They changed the original poster in the US for some reason but this is a mix of the original poster and the one of Gerard Butler is brilliant - he is one of the very few actors that can convey so much just from his eyes. I have seen this film twice now at Urbanworld NYC and at LA premiere last Tuesday and it is the best film of 2009 - roll on Nov it can't come too soon. It is an ingenious film that takes you on a rollercoaster ride that you never think you are ... Read More framolamdu About me

Couldn't have put it better myself. No real surprises with the poster and that is one of the worst taglines ever. Might as well be a Steven Segal film. ... Read More evildave69 About me
