Law Abiding Citizen - Best Trailer Of The Year
The movie “Law Abiding Citizen” has flown under the radar for a lot of people… including me for the most part other than knowing about it’s existence and basic plot. But a few days ago I, like most people, had the chance to watch the trailer, and I was absolutely floored by it. In my opinion the best trailer of the year by a mile.
You’ve seen it already… but check it out again. How bad ass does this movie look?
i like this trailer, Gerard Butler’s character is sooo badass lol, however, Jamie Foxx looks out of place, kinda a miss cast for me.
I wish it wasn’t butler in the lead. He is not a very good actor.
are you kidding me what movie have you seen him in that he hasnt been great in
Totally. Just check out Phantom Of The Opera. He was fantastically authentic.
Tomb Raider
I’m sorry, even worse. Tomb Raider 2.
maybe your just sad for watching tomb raider!
bamm
Damn, trailer ruled. Lets hope the movie brings the goods.
My jaw is hanging open.
Nice to see the trailer up. Easily the best kept secret in my opinion for upcoming movies.
I saw this when I saw district 9. I didnt think it looked like anything special.
I’m cheering for Gerard!!!!!!!!
I loved this trailer but people in the theatre laughed when it played and I was pissed
It was awesome, but I have to say best trailer of the year goes to Serious Man by the Coens. Beautifully built tension and reminded me of the bulbous buffount skit that Dr. Demento would play.
I think butler is a good actor, he was awesome in rocknrolla and 300, I was bummed he kept getting shit roles like the ugly truth, ps I love you, and gamer…but when I saw this, I excited. I think he’ll make an excellent bad guy.
Gamer doesnt look too bad
iagree
goddamn gamer looks horrible
I agree.
Looks awesome, but I don’t think the best of the year, trailer wise.
Watchmen
Transformers 2 trailer was orgasmic
Wolverine (IMO)
Star Trek
Ninja Assasin
Sherlock Holmes
9!!!!!!!
Wolfman
Those trailers where better. Especially 9.
But thats my opinion. I dont think he meant it literally xD
Yeah Transformers and Watchmen had orgasmic trailers
At first glance at this story…I thought the photo was of John.
LOL
And although I’d seen the trailer weeks ago, when I viewed it this time, I kept seeing John starring in it.
(Biggest difference? The ‘John’ version would be almost all dialogue. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)
Holy crap! john does kinda look like Butler.
Agreed.
Kind of wondering when Butler would be able to capitalize one his success with 300.
I honestly think it looks like shit.
It combines the film Death Sentence and Saw into 1 film….F THAT
I agree with EZEll 100%. Sorry, but this trailer does nothing for me. I’ve seen better *cough* Where The Wild Things Are *cough*
I was laughing soo hard when I saw the Where the Wild things Are trailer hahahha that movie looks like shit, ….but this trailer looks really good
The trailer for A Serious Man is a better trailer as well
Josh, you’re spot on. “Wild Things” and “Serious Man” are both fantastic, this trailer is good, but nothing too special (to me, at least).
Keith, I may be wrong, but I’m going to take a wild guess and say that you aren’t familiar with the “Wild Things” book. Who knows, but I honestly can’t see how a person who grew up with the book can think the film looks any less than amazing. Then again, anything’s possible.
I was wondering when someone was gonna make that comparison. I honestly that this film looked absolutely stupid. I will admit though it still looked better than Legion.
Actually, I may go as far as to say I think Legion looks more badass than this. It’s at least a far more interesting project.
Its funny how in the last month I have not agreed with John on almost anything I normally do.LOL
I like a movie where you can almost empathize with the villain. Looks great.
Great trailer. It left me with the same feeling I had after I had seen the “Taken” trailer for the first time. Let’s hope this one is just as good.
I honestly didn’t find “Taken” to be very good at all. I may be the only one, as everyone in my family and circle of friends just rave about it. I did think Taken’s trailer was very good though.
This is good?
Isn’t this just a Hollywood movie? I mean, I can tell you how it ends.
tell us how it ends please?
Looks interesting for sure, but I hope it’s not a Saw-like gruesomefest.
p.s. If our spooks are this good, why can’t we send one of these bad-asses to go find Bin Laden!?!?
in this still butler does look a lot like campea haha
just less manly
This is kinda like TAKEN trailer. Very Badass. But at boxoffice it won’t be the smash hit that taken was.
This looks incredible and it has Colm Meany in it! Chief O’Brien is always in awesome movies.
beautiful shot at the end w/ the fire
the movie looks like it could be pretty good
this looks pretty rad and butler is the man, but damn do i dislike foxx. he is waay to hard to take seriously.
It’s a good trailer- but not the best. It is a good trailer but it does not separate this movie from any of the other recent kidnap/revenge flick like Taken or Hostage apart from that this one might have better editing.
IMO the best trailer this year is Where the Wild Things Are. Great music, great visuals and it was something that made me sit up in my seat in anticipation and by the end made me want to line up to see it.
This one made me want to rent the film… eventually.
This trailer made me want to, at most, watch this thing sometime when I mistakenly put it at the top of my Netflix queue. That’s about it.
Foxx just doesn’t seem interested in his character at all. I mean he can be good, I thought he was perfect in Collateral, but man does he look bored and amateurish in this.
Plot seems decent but nothing groundbreaking, kinda reminds me of in TDK when the Joker had people running shit even when he was in prison/got captured on purpose.
Spoilers!
Wow! Thanks for introducing me to this, I had never heard of the film before this article. The premise is great and Butler looks good, I just hope it doesn’t fall apart at the end. High hopes, though.
Looks good. Nice to see Colm Meaney back on the big screen.
they do impress with trailers nowadays heh
I think its getting a little old…the whole
“One guy takes down the whole government” thing
It was cool in Bourne but…thats enough. The movie does look really good though
i love movies like this. revenge!!!
I hate Jamie Foxx way too much to be that excited by this.
Also, I like Gerard Butler, but I think he sucks at American accents.
Otherwise, it looks good.
I don’t belive that was the best trailer of the year. Personally I think the trailer for “A Serious Man” Was far better. Also this movie looks really average.
Spartins!!!
hu? it’s the most generic standard revenge story.
anyway, although i just said it myself (but just because i know you just care for it), why do people when they say “best trailer” don’t look at the trailer but at the content?
something makes a trailer the “best trailer” if.. well, it was made the best way (awesome editing, sound design and so on), not if the content of the movie looks cool.
looks fucking amazing to me. I’ll be keeping my eye on this soab
If you think this is the best trailer of the year, then that says all I need to know about your complete lack of taste.
wow, this trailer loox badass!
even the trailer has a twist
and further proof Gerard Butler is 1 of the best actors working today
You can’t be serious.
That movie looks awesome. It is not an original idea, but are there any of those left?
Looks like it has a lot of potential. Definitely looks entertaining. Excited for it’s release.
Trailer reminds me of the first time I saw the trailer for Taken. Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint.
Good trailer but imo Where the Wild Things Are (first trailer), (500) Days of Summer (teaser), The Hurt Locker, Moon, Inception (teaser) were better.
I saw this before District 9 and the whole theater was buzzing afterwards. Looks like it could be really good.
But what has happened to Gerry’s face?? He looks like a chipmunk now.
And Jamie Foxx sucks.
Haha, who was that one actor again? Standing behind Butler in the last shot, always playing an asshole? Love that guy…
Oh, ANOTHER trailer that is better, Gentlemen Broncos. The Inception Teaser, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Last Airbender, Shutter Island, 9, The Road, Nine, Tetro, The Girlfriend Experience, Moon, all just to name a few.
“Badass” meaning “nothing else noteworthy”?
Definitely not the best of the year.
It could be a very good movie, but I fear It will be just a long MTV spot…You know, a guy walking out the scene, a HUGE explosion behind his back, he doesn’t even blink…badass lines and that stuff..little naive and shallow..hope I’m wrong ;)
btw, somebody mentioned before, and I agree, Jamie Foxx really looks aou of place, A LOT!
I literally laughed my ass off when I saw this trailer.
“I’m going to kill everyone.”
Does that entail himself as well? And Jamie Foxx looks foolish. I’ve gotta completely disagree on this one, totally ridiculous trailer that does not at all wet my appetite for this flick.
Never heard of this before…but damn that looks nice.
yay it takes place in philly!
