One of the most cathartic genres (when done correctly) is easily the vigilante film. But what separates vigilante justice from simple revenge? How are female vigilantes different from male vigilantes? And how does the constantly shifting opinion on law enforcement inform the morals surrounding these high-octane action adventures?
