John Doe: Vigilante (2014) Online

After reading the plot and seeing the few good actors in the movie I felt it was something I could give a shot, it might be good. Well after 90 minutes of my life I don't feel disappointed. In fact it has made me sit in silence (for a solid 15 minutes) just thinking more and more of the meaning.

It surely doesn't have the effect as say "Her", in a thought provoking sense, though it is a solid movie.

What honestly can be done to forgive someone for such heinous crimes, if you know they will commit them again? This movie asks that question and more.

Over all the movie had some shaky shots, little over the top acting conversely not enough acting, some shots were not needed and could have added a bit more background to the story in a few places but I still ended up questioning myself after. Which I always find as a good sign.

Whats a good movie without a good afterthought?

I must admit to being a bit perplexed by some of the reviews for this film. I found it extremely compelling and confronting, perhaps audiences and critics no longer want to be challenged to think when they see a movie?

It seems to me that the only way this film wouldn't resonate with you was if you had managed to get through your life without ever feeling victimized at any level.

I would highly recommend an open mind if you do choose to see this title as well as the willingness to think about your own morality and level of participation in society, this is not a gentle film, it is film that will challenge you on a number of levels.

John Doe: Vigilante is an amazing film.

I will begin by saying that I am generally more interested in lower budget films compared with big budget blockbusters so I may be a little biased. However I feel some of the reviews I have read online for John Doe are incredibly unfair.

The subject matter dealt with in John Doe was addressed in a highly effective way. The film was able to make a situation, seemingly out of the realm of possibility for most of us seem as if it were unfolding in reality.

This film is not just an excuse for glorified violence and bloodshed. It makes a powerful statement about the ineffectiveness of the Australian Justice System.

I felt so strongly after watching that I immediately went to the website and chose to review the film (firsts for both).

If you like to think about what you are watching, both during and after then be sure to check out John Doe: Vigilante. There are some fairly confronting images used without being obscene.

I am a film student in Australia and am genuinely inspired by this film and highly recommend it.

I must admit I was no expecting this movie to be this good and it could may be a story from our real life in today's world.

Everybody knows there is much injustice out there but don't care mainly because it does not happen to them. I don't want to spoil the movie but who is on the fence about seeing this ... GO FOR IT .... is going to awake the justice that is in all of us and makes us think what world are we leaving in(that is if you are a law abiding citizen) + takes some things from the real world hacker group Annonynous witch is always great news.

To bad this is not going to be seen by many because is a small budget movie.

This was, really surprising, I just wanted to pass some time and relax, didn't have big expectations for this movie but it really got me thinking.

*** I get sidetracked a bit here, reflecting over the movie ***

Besides the whole vigilante question, we as john and Jane does should do more than just give a like on face book. We should get off our arses and help each other as people, we know the neighbor is beating the sh*t out of the kid, go do something, if you're afraid to go on your own get some of your buddies with you. If you see a group of people harassing others do something, stop and call upon the others to help you. You should of course be reasonable, I've seen brawls where I didn't do anything because it was 4 people fighting each other and I didn't know who to help, the bouncers were already breaking it up, so I let the bouncers break up the fight and let the police handle the rest. I have seen a fight between just two, I helped break them up. I've seen people collapse and followed them home. It's our duty as citizens, as people, as human f****g beings to help one another and contribute to this world without going all "the f*** should I care" if you see injustice.

** side tracking done **

Besides that it was an interesting movie, it had some really interesting points. I was really surprised by the movie, and it managed to fill me up with strong feelings because these are topics that really concern me. This was an inspiring movie and I hope it will inspire other people as well. Now with this review you could probably figure things out about me, if you feel the same way you'll like this movie.

Having recently watched a Battlestar Galactica marathon, I must confess that the only reason this little movie caught my eye was that Jamie Bamber was in it. As I often enjoy watching what TV actors do after their successful years I must say that this was an experience I did not expect. From the start, the movie throws the audience right in the plot. Jamie Bamber plays a serial killer vigilante that enjoys increasing popularity among the general public. Things unravel in a straight forward manner with the occasional twist. The amount of detail in composing the shots was generally way above a movie with that budget level. It is one of those films where the graphic violence is felt very intensely instead of just being gory, thereby giving away a very gritty and dark feeling. The performance of Jamie Bamber is exceptionally intense. Some might call it over the top but in the context of the movie it delivers very well. The story is endearing to the point that I was grapped right away and wanted to know how it all unravelled. It carries quite a lot of social commentary if you want to be open about those things. If not, it can still be watched as a genre piece that entertains. In comparison with Law Abiding Cititzen with Gerald Butler, an A-list movie with a quite similar general setup, I clearly favor John Doe: Vigilante. It feels way more real and carries more impact. In general, I can recommend the movie to all that like dark, gritty, and intense films and do not have a problem with large amounts of violence.

I get tired of Hollywood blockbusters---the car chases, explosions with the hero calmly walking away, unflinchingly and one man armies do the impossible---taking on dozens of bad guys all alone. The impossible becomes implausible and difficult to believe or enjoy. The Aussies are starting to impress me and John Doe is an excellent film. I admit, I love guy movies, crime movies, action and revenge movies and this has it all. Gritty violence that seems very justified, excellent acting from ALL players---even the bit parts, great directing, great camera work and most important----well written. And some mind-blowing surprises and plot twists to wrap it up and it is what I call a perfect movie. Well paced, never slows down---it kept me transfixed throughout. The kind of movie that must be watched again and I call it a perfect ten.

Movies with a message are by their nature problematic.

David Schwimmer for example did a film about teenage girls and the internet. It was more message than movie and for that reason it may well be already lost to time.

On the other hand Paddy Chayefsky's NETWORK was both a message and a film opus. Fantastic movie and it will live forever on the "top 10" lists of viewers all over the globe.

This Aussie effort, featuring a FANTASTIC performance by Bamber, who, to dig out the old cliché, does silent dialog using only his eyes, gives you a nice slow start and then builds and builds and builds.

The best thing about it is that it keeps the viewer off-balance right to the end, achieved by some of the best editing of "flashbacks" I have seen since the days of Sergio Leone.

There is a particular scene at the 1:19 mark involving a small child who "thanks" Bamber that is likely the highlight. True to form, not even this scene ends the way we might expect.

Recommended.

I liked this movie, read the other positive reviews, which is most of them.

They also have the highest helpful ratios, as in of the people who voted whether a review was helpful or not, my experience with IMDb indicates that one of them would be on the main page.

Yet this is not the case. When I first came to this movie's page, the main review was one of only 2 negative ones out of 7, and 2 of 6 people voted that they found it helpful. So I voted it as not helpful with the other negative review.

Now minutes later (like 2) that review is not on the main page, but the other even more negative review is with a 12 out of 45 helpful rating... (all my numbers are off by 1 as my votes are not counted yet - even though they've already effected change)

There is a 10/10 review with 25 of 38 finding it helpful, there's a 13 of 16 positive review, and a 1 of 1, a 3 of 4...

Clearly something fishy is going on here, are they afraid of a vigilante uprising? Or maybe Bamber punched some Hollywood fatcat(s) in the face instead of granting the sexual favour(s) requested. Maybe both, as Bamber's work get's a disproportionate amount of flak. He's no Hopkins, but he is without a doubt a capable actor at the VERY least.

I wonder if anyone will even see this review... in preview the only spelling mistake highlighted is "fatcat" yet in typing this I show Bamber's name and the Canadian spelling of "favour" underlined squiggly red as well...

hi, i don't usually right reviews, but this movie compelled me to, trust me guys , just watch this movie , and rate for yourself.... we need people's verdict here, Is John Doe right ???? i s this movie right, does it make sense, my verdict it does !!!! with a good direction, plot, story and good acting by lead actor jamie, i am not his fan as said by an earlier reviewer, " fco sumthing sumthing !!!!, i don't know did he watch the same movie i watched, but i can tell you for a fact its a good movie indeed, on a hot topic, if you like watching movie with may be not all answers, if you like thriller, documentary, crime movie, or any good movie, you can spend easily your 90mins in this movie, its interesting, you can watch repeatedly and trust me you will not get bored, its a decent movie give it a go.... recommended for any viewer with nice taste of movies.... watch it and decide for yourself and do give your honest verdict......

First off I would like to say that I found this film by accident. I was trawling YouTube watching movie trailers and John Doe:Vigilante was in the associated videos section of another I was watching. After seeing the trailer, I decided I had to watch the film so here we are! John Doe:Vigilante tells the story of arrested vigilante serial killer John Doe who sets up an exclusive interview with journalist Ken Rutherford to get his side of the story across. The film flicks back and forth between the interview, John's back-story and the murders themselves to brilliant effect. We get to experience the build-up and reasoning behind each murder and John himself then explains. Jamie Bamber certainly has an air of mystery and sinister to him and his portrayal of an ordinary man driven to extraordinary lengths to protect the citizens of Australia from the failing justice system is nothing short of superb.

I was kept on the edge of my seat throughout and only when the credits appeared could I stop biting my nails. The tension builds and builds, particularly in the final third where we find out the whole truth behind John's vigilante killings and the final twist is nothing short of shocking. I honestly did not see it coming and for anyone who has not seen the film - the twist is no "Sixth Sense" style twist that you get hints about. Instead for about ten minutes after the film I was still digesting what I had seen - it hit me for six.

Director Kelly Dolan and writer Stephen M Coates should be proud of John Doe:Vigilante because it neatly side-steps traditional revenge clichés and instead with the final payoff delivers a hard hitting message.

A wonderful film that I will watch again because it was just that good.

First of all , I must say that at first look this movie looks like some low budget Australian garbage , The big surprise is that it has some descent actors that delivered the messege very nicely and a very good story . I started watching the movie with low expectations and got hooked up with the story-line .I can gladly say that the storyline is packed with some nice twists . I would gladly give this movie a solid 10 if it wasn't for the Directing job and some flucks that i found while watching it ,i guess there is no perfect movie anyway.. In conclusion i would strongly recommend this movie to every grown up out there, And i hope it will get a little bigger recognition in the future.

Okay I'm not one for Thrillers but this movie had me thinking more and more from scene to scene about the message behind it.

Not just on the bias in judicial systems all over the world that focus on protecting the rights of criminals and not the victims which was mostly the main theme.

I personally felt that this had a real sense of being a call for action for the people of the world to call for future revolution against governments that do not actually listen to the people and "the System" that doesn't work. Note... Tony Abbott should probably watch this film as a precursor to the future revolution he is creating by being a dick.. (personal opinion.. go Greens)

Great acting from Jamie Bamber rock solid as always, Slightly less love for the Gary Abrahams... really weird performance as the reporter out on the street.

All in all i thought this was an outstanding film with clear direction and a really strong message and was well shot.

A really interesting and capturing movie. It takes the vigilante concept and goes deep into the problems, but also the justice, in having a man giving criminals the prober punishment.

I will say that this movie is very violent, maybe so violent that it sometimes seem unrealistic. Everyone in the movie is in one way or another a violent person. That is my only critic of the movie, because it is quite interesting. It poses the question of what is the right punishment for a crime committed. Is an eye for an eye mentality right or not. The movie doesn't answer this question but lets the viewer be the judge. It's cool in that way, because it's really the essence of John Doe as he is the judge (and executioner) of his victims.

The movie is good and capturing. The acting can be so and so at times, but the Jamie Bamber is really good! It's absolutely worth watching!

is it right or wrong?

This movie will force you to explore your true feelings on the subject of an eye for an eye. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie but found myself wanting more at its conclusion, Intended as that may be.

The movie itself does not strike me as a drama, thriller, or horror, it is more like an exciting documentary but not one that just tells a story, rather puts your mind in the middle of the story. Makes you think, "would I be a John Doe?"

Take the short time (only 90 minutes or so) to see this film, it is absolutely worth it.

A really well thought movie. It is gripping, emotional, and powerful simply because the plot of the story, some could say it address real world issues that the public face every day. Somewhere within our human minds there is a part of us that does see that these crimes of rape, murder, and sexual abuse deserve no forgiveness and if anything should result in death. The movie is also very touching as further on you discover who John Doe is, his motive for achieving justice, and the symbolism that Sally was during the end of the movie. The ending of the movie was okay but nothing of memorable moment; people heard Doe's call and continue his campaign. Dismissing the seemingly dull ending, the plot and logic of the movie seemed accurate and no over imposed murder or stunt scenes to try and spice up the visual effects. Overall a great on look to a fictional character that could exist in the society we live in today.

My English is not so well ill try my best .

This was an awesome movie.

i think this is one of the best movies made in the last 10 years

you all remember when the matrix came out and people all get wowwwww effect you get it 2 if u watch this movie.

pls watch it and write ur own review

i really recommend this movie pls watch it and rate this movie

I made an account just to review this film, I would recommend to check this movie out. I tend to have a low tolerance when it comes to action movies, and sometimes even less for a B- grade but this film was remarkable, it could easily contend with a lot of the stuff Hollywood is pumping out lately in the action/suspense field.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie, I read lots of positive reviews and decided to give it a shot. Upon the opening titles and seeing studios I had never heard of I was bracing myself for the worst of the worst in low budget. I was born in Australia and I know the quality of Aus films aren't always that appealing or, well, good. Whilst I was somewhat apprehensive to start with the movie had no trouble entirely gripping me throughout.

Initially the story-telling seemed either a bit jumpy or vague for the "set-up" phase of the movie where we are introduced to to the plot and main characters, although I feel it was used effectively to gain momentum.

I was blown away by the subject matter in the film it is outstanding for a modern movie, it's also a very bold step for Australian cinema as usually films can bring a very conservative or intentionally 'out there' feel. This film will make you think. It deals with gray areas of life in a way that it may even get you worked up in your seat. I tried to watch a standard Hollywood action blockbuster today but after John Doe, it felt like it was playing out more like a Disney movie in comparison and I had to shut it off, I don't remember the last time a film has done that to me.

The casting and writing was almost immaculate, actors were very capable and many even seemed like types of people you really would actually come across in Australia. I feel the combination of those things made the whole plot much, much more immersive. The pacing was refreshing and the vast amount of conversation did not slow the action at all. if anything dialogue was enhancing the action because it was so thought-provoking. There were a couple of moments I found myself thinking all the stops had been pulled and the rest of the film was to be of a courtroom (or of something to that 'thrilling' effect) only to be impressed again and again until the credits rolled. The only negatives I can think of are the quality of the very minimally used CGI explosions, and the choppiness of the very final scene (which I would imagine had to do with the fact it involved trying to depict Assault Rifles in front of Melbourne's Parliament house)

In summary, this is not your standard action/thriller movie. I believe this is something special. I felt overwhelmingly proud of the Australian film industry after seeing this. It was so surreal to see the parts of Australia I know so well in a movie that I kept thinking was from Hollywood, almost felt starstruck. And if the accents weren't quite so genuine you'd probably think it was a US film if you didn't know about it beforehand. If you're thinking about watching this movie I'd urge you to check it out, even if it's just as a time killer, you will not be disappointed. I will definitely be watching John Doe again before a Taken or a Statham or anything of those likes.

(I gave an extra star just because the final scene took place across the road from where I live, there's no better way to end a good movie than to have a bunch of explosions on your street before the credits roll)

This is a film with a powerful message to the society as a whole. The topic of the film is about people taking the law into their own hands and delivering swift justice on the criminals who have harmed them. Thus the term Vigilante: a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.

The film also focuses on the criminal as well as the crime committed. Young juvenile delinquents are often converted into hardened criminals simply by the association of the two in jails. Young first time teenage offenders are often beaten and raped by the hardened criminals during their first years in prison. They are also mentored by these career criminals into propagating even more heinous crimes like breaking and entering, car-jacking, rape and even premeditated murder. Often when released, these young criminals vent their anger at the first person that crosses their path.

The film shows the flaws in the justice system allowing career criminals to be released on a technicality or loopholes by their lawyers. These depraved individuals often return to their criminal ways despite their rehabilitation.

The old saying "An eye for an eye" is a model for the capital punishment system that mankind has adopted for centuries. In Britain and America, it was hanging. During the French Revolution, it was the Guillotine. Later with the advent of modern science, we had the electric chair and gas chamber. Later on the lethal injection became more practical. Britain has abolished the death penalty and there has been no hanging for a period of 50 years.

This film is about a man who has suffered at the hands of a perverse and ruthless criminal. He cannot tolerate his grief anymore and thus adopts the mentality of a vigilante to seek absolution. The film is documentary style interrogation with live footage of the vigilantes actions and the crowds reactions to the televised footage the vigilante has sent to the press. The film has graphic scenes of violence. Therefore I would not recommend this film for persons under 18 years.

Some similar films you may like: Walking Tall (1973), Midnight Express(1978), Bound By Honor a.k.a. Blood In Blood Out (1993), American Me (1992), Animal Factory (2000), Charles Bronson's Death Wish Films 1-5 (1974-1994), Death Sentence (2007), Fighting Back (1982 Must see film starring Tom Skerrit), The Exterminator 1&2(1980-1984 Cult films starring Robert Ginty).

Thank you for reading this review.

This movie was just an attempt at filling in late hours after a long day.. however, it proved to be so much more. Though it doesn't offer the great graphics, investment and distractions as most of Hollywood, it does something much more.. it delivers TRUTH and tries desperately to wake the sleeping public to the DISGUSTING FACTS that we live in a horrible 'rich mans' world where the poor and helpless are used/ abused for their pleasures. Just a few hours ago, someone posted on Facebook, an article from RT news about the massive child sex rings and abuse that are taking place in the UK. This disturbs me as I am a parent. Once I started getting into this movie and see 'who' is being killed, it actually interested me to finally see a movie 'to the public' that addresses what has been going on for decades and is not addressed by political officials, police and humanity. The words he speaks are nothing short of correct. The message is important. We are all so busy shopping, watching television, believing the 'lying' mainstream media and distracted only caring about what goes on in OUR small world to care about what is happening overall. I would recommend this movie in a NY minute to 'anyone' that still believes in 'humanity.'

-John Doe: Vigilante (2015) movie review: -John Doe is a masked vigilante who does out on the streets and hunts down serial killers so he can somewhat brutally murder them. Lovely. One of the unique things about this indie film is that you get to hear both sides of the story, one of them from John Doe who has already been caught and arrested, and another from the media and police, which many films dealing with vigilantes focus less on.

-So is this a sort-of superhero film or a crime flick? The film brings the moral issues of taking the law into your own hands and give it to you right out of the gate, leaving it to the audience to decide what side to choose. I like that the film is impartial about it, I really do. And I really liked the film for the most part.

-The character backstory is set up like a superhero film, minus the powers and rule against killing. However the non-linear story helped lay the moral point out in a way that they build on each other from multiple perspectives, which is really good! -The pace was too quick I think. It could have taken longer to wait before just jumping us into it, but it never really got slow.

-The acting was good. Jamie Bamber, Apollo from BSG, stars as John Doe and offers a very deep, compelling performance to a character like this. It has some other actors I didn't know and they did a good job but nobody else really stood out.

-The character of John Doe is a really compelling character because of haw many questions he brings up. The caution he takes is admirable and you can't feel bad for the horrible people he ills, but does it justify killing them? He offers more depth than just that, but I can't say too much. The media characters are pretty interesting, as well as the detectives in charge of the case. There is also a following John Doe develops that take his vigilante thing the wrong way, which is interesting to look at. A certain Batman film did that too if I recall.

-Some of the music seemed low budget, but some other parts sounded really good. So mixed bag here.

-There are some CGI effects in the film that are not great, but to make up for that, the practical effects in the film are impressive. There are a few scenes where I just do not know how they made something look so realistic. I will get back to that in my content section.

-John Doe: Vigilante offers some new elements to an inflated hero/crime genre through unique storytelling elements and some really good moral questions and effects. It did not seem like a super high-budget film at times, but that has cult-classic written all over it. Being a limited release film, I cannot say it is worth seeing in theaters. However John Doe: Vigilante is totally worth checking out! -John Doe: Vigilante holds an R rating, naturally, for some language throughout and some rather violent images and themes. Thus the rally good practical effects. Violence on par with Daredevil and language with the first Punisher. Seems fitting.

-So have you seen John Doe? It probably means you are a serial killer and have not long to live. I would run. Like now.

Writer & director Kelly Doan's "John Doe, Vigilante" qualifies as the most provocative contemporary vigilante thriller since the Charles Bronson "Death Wish" movies. This message-laden saga is at once both issue-oriented as well as action-packed with at least three surprises. The inherent weakness here is that Dolan and scenarist Stephen M. Coates don't develop the characters sufficients and everything is a bit too neat to be entirely believable. Nevertheless, "Joe Doe Vigilante" is quite often a gripping film. An anonymous individual who dons a white mask and a hoodie doles out rough justice in a variety to ways. The eponymous hero, however, confines himself to killing either criminals or people who have gotten away with their heinous crimes. Television news reporter Sam Foley (Gary Abrahams), who has covered Joe Doe's killing spree, points out the problem to fellow journalist Ken Rutherford (Lachy Hulme) about a half-hour into this compelling but loquacious 93 minute melodrama. Foley explains, ". . . the system as it stands, it doesn't work." Foley elaborates, "We're too politically correct. It's all about the perp's rights. The preps get their way. The victims end up getting screwed. And when you go to court, if you're lucky enough to get to court, the courts end up editing the victim's impact statement." Soon afterward, Sam compares a vigilante to a soldier. "A vigilante is simply somebody who violates the law in order to punish a criminal for what they believe is right, for what they believe is justice. So what then do you call a country who sends soldiers to kill people in places like Afghanistan or Iran, Iraq, Korea, Vietnam, in the name of what they believe is right, in the name of what they believe is justice? That country is a vigilante, pure and simple. Only, when a country does it, people call it war, and nobody bats an eyelid. But when a country does it, they aren't anywhere near as clinical or as careful as someone like Joe Doe. And that country ends up killing thousands of innocent women and innocent children."

John Doe (Jamie Bamber of "Battlestar Galactica") is a decent individual who can no longer tolerate a flawed justice system that allows criminals get away with their crimes. He is a combination of Charles Bronson's Paul Kersey in "Death Wish" and Peter Finch's Howard Beale from "Network." He takes justice into his own hands and kills child molesters, wife beaters, and other criminals. The plain mask that he wears represents a kind of objectivity that his notorious exploits encapsulate. Eventually, his vigilantism inspires a conservative, grass roots movement that labels themselves "Speak for the Dead." These people take it upon themselves to punish lawbreakers that the justice system refuses to punish. Dolan and Coates relate the action in flashback, and they outline the vigilante history of our sympathetic hero. Before the jury delivers its verdict, Joe Doe is in custody, and he consents to an jail house interview with Ken Rutherford. The big surprise comes here. Despite its garrulous nature, "John Doe Vigilante" is an intelligent film that doesn't pander with his many brutal killings. Dolan doesn't whip us up into a frenzy. He lens everything from an impersonal point of view until he shows our hero in a podcast confronting the man who inspired him to embark on his vigilante path. At its worst, "John Doe Vigilante" is pretentious but articulate. The ending may not come as a surprise to some, but it is unlike anything we've seen before. Any time that I can watch a movie completely in one sitting, I know that the filmmakers have done something right. Some movies you have to break up into a number of different viewings, but I had no problem watching "John Doe Vigilante" from start to finish late one evening and wrote this review during the process.

I randomly came across this movie and after seeing an over 6 rating on here thought i'd give it a go. Well I'm glad I did! It's a unique film centred around a captured vigilante being interviewed while we see what he did through flashbacks. It works perfectly, the acting is top notch, performances on the money and it really does make you think how bad the justice system has become. I'm really impressed with this, picture was crystal clear, sound was perfect too, this wasn't a low budget type sounding like it was filmed in the toilet with amateur performances like you often get with these small releases. The violence is very realistic, hard hitting and brutal in places but it serves the story well. Check it out, nice little twist before the end too.

I wanted to like this movie, I really did, but I couldn't. My biggest qualm is that it tried too much. You see, the story is that of a vigilante who is killing bad people and the film is trying to make you think and pick a side. Is he really guilty or is he justified? Or both?

The problem is that the movie is clearly biased towards the vigilante and the tools they use to make us feel for him are lacking any form of subtlety whatsoever. The bad guys are mostly child molesters, if not they are wife or adolescent beaters. They are portrayed are completely remorseless, people who are "plain evil". I love that expression, as evil is something plain, easily defined and explained. Then the discourse is always being accompanied with some grave music whenever the characters make a point towards taking justice into one's own hands.

It reminded me of another film that had a similar small budget, ambitious premise, but failed execution: The East. This is practically the same thing, but with vigilantes and with as many Australian actors to ever have played a doctor on TV. As many a film wanting to "raise awareness" or "inspire the masses", it fails when all of its characters come off as self righteous assholes.

This is thriller that will get you thinking.

There's a part of me that supports the whole concept of vigilantes given how inadequate our court system can be in Australia. Then there the part that says no matter what, there's no place for vigilantes.

Again, this movie will make you think a bit about where things are at and where your morals and ethics are.

The acting was fine, not great, but it worked for this movie.

The scenes were graphic enough for those looking for that, to be interested.

The ending wasn't what I expected, but I won't give it away (I thought it was a good ending, though!!!!)
