Tony Rurup Jill Clateman English Composition 121 7 February 2013 Critical Analysis of the Film “Law Abiding Citizen” Law Abiding Citizen is a movie that gives an example a broken legal system and that doesn’t hold individuals accountable for their actions, legal loopholes, and a man’s mission to teach a lesson of personal responsibility. After the murder of his family, Clyde Shelton seeks out the help of Nick Rice, a successful and upcoming attorney who has a conviction rate of ninety-six percent. Unfortunately, Nick’s main concern is his reputation and not justice itself. When faced with potentially losing a case he would much rather take some sort of a plea deal regardless of guilt. Nick states, “Some justice is better than no justice at all.” Clyde seeks justice for his family, but when none is found he takes it upon himself to teach a lesson to the broken legal system he feels has betrayed him.

Young David once believed in the rule of law, and believed the adult is righteous to uphold justice, but on the contrary, what unveiled before him is how the Hayden family neglect the law and abuse power, is how his grandfather attempts to protect his criminal son, is how uncle Frank’s misdeeds is covered throughout. David’s perspectives on the rule of law is initially influenced by the way the members of his family abuse their powers. In the position of sheriff in generation, the Hayden family is the one enforce the law all the time, even above the law. Knowing “when to look and when to look away” is the principle of grandfather Julian, as a former sheriff, who ‘was a dominating man who drew sustenance and strength from controlling others’. It is a sign of corruption as law is not taking seriously.
In Ethical Rationalism’s Principle of Fairness it states that we “obey just laws”. I believe that MVMC is disobeying this principle for the simple fact that they just did not want to take extra time out of their day to deal with one man’s problems when it was ordered by law for them to do so. For MVMC to so readily pay the $500 fine shows that they were acting immorally and quick to blame their actions by stating he was at-will. IV. Objection to Proposed Answer and Response to the Objection Objection (1): MVMC’s justification on the termination of Greeley was because he was not in a union or bound to a contract but an at-will employee could be let go at anytime for any reason.
Atticus thought that it was Jem but the sheriff said that Bob Ewell fell on his knife. The person that really killed Bob Ewell was Boo Radley and the sheriff hides that fact to protect Boo Radley from trials in court. For readers to be able to tell that it was Boo Radley who killed Bob Ewell they had to pay attention to quotes like “Thank you Arthur….. Thank you for my children” (Lee chap 31). The Author gives readers clues and makes them think to figure out questions, she never gives a straight out answer.
In hopes of “nurturing the personal side of their relationship” Benjamin purchased English goods for the governor and his wife (73). On the side of the relationship, even though William had different views when it came to politics, he still continued to support his father through it all. On top of continuing to support his father in his political views, William also refused to ever “criticize his father no matter how great the temptation might have been (73)”. There are many reasons these two separated. Their political views differed, they both had different views when it came to paying the East India Company back for the damaged that was caused.
Although Spurgeon is angry with his father, Ray Bivens Jr. and does not seem to understand him, he has a great desire to reconnect and somehow be close with his father. An example of this great desire would be when he drove down to get Ray Bivens Jr. out of jail. Spurgeon knew that he was not supposed to go down there and that his mother told him not to go but because it was his father he did it anyways. Another example would be when he was at the bar with his father, and his father was trying to get the keys and drive off with Farrah. Spurgeon and his father ended up getting into a fight about his father leaving with his mother’s car.
