Law Abiding Citizen(2009)- User Reviews

This was a fantastic movie with great acting by Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler. I dont know anyone who did not like it,except the critics. I have long ignored what critics say about a movie for this very reason. The popularity of this movie is another very clear example that critics are out of touch with what is and is not a good movie. Most of us would lose our jobs if we made such glaring mistakes, but critics dont lose their jobs. Why?
