# Law Abiding Citizen - Parent Guide
This R-rated thriller follows a man seeking violent revenge after the justice system fails his family. Expect strong language, intense bloody violence, and some sexual content. The dark, morally complex plot and graphic scenes make this unsuitable for children and better suited for mature teens and adults only.
