Not the most believable movie, but when has that stopped anyone before? Poor Clyde Shelton's (Gerard Butler) home is invaded by two low life scums who leave him for dead after brutally killing his family while he watches. Assistant District Attorney Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) cuts a deal with one perp while the other is sentenced to death by lethal injection. This does not sit well with Shelton, who then takes the business of vengeance into his own hands. Even while in police custody, his plans for revenge continue and are mysteriously carried out. Shelton wants everybody to die and he does a pretty good job of making that happen. This is a classic case of planning where the criminal is always one step ahead of the law. This also makes it hard to believe it could actually happen, but I suppose that's what movies do, suspend our reality for a few hours.
