In ‘Law Abiding Citizen,’ revenge never seemed so bland Oct 16, 2009
This is hackneyed serial-killer stuff, from Hannibal Lecter down to the murderers of Se7en and Saw. And if there s a prayer of bringing this character off, you need an actor capable not simply of danger but of the evil required to, say, send a DVD of a live dismemberment to a 10-year-old girl (oh, Clyde).

thelatimes: "Typical flashy Hollywood fluff with absolutely no deep substance to it at all. Despite the fact that they're straining to persuade you that this is really a 'substantial' film, it isn't; it's an empty CGI spectacle. It's a spectacular misstep for David Fincher, who should stick to dark and edgy material where he excels, such as 'Se7en', 'Fight Club' and 'Zodiac'. I suspect this will make a lot of money, but in all truth it's David Fincher's worst movie to date.". maebusch: "I cannot... (Independent)

Dennis Quaid takes the lead as a detective investigating a string of serial killings connected to the Biblical Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in "Horsemen." Basing killings off the Bible is an idea David Fincher took to perfection in 1995's "Se7en," and the shadowy, bloody trailer for "Horsemen" definitely has similar shades. Hopefully it will be able to deliver some originality and creativity to the increasing repetitious serial killer genre. (Gamecock Online, SC)
