March 18, 2014Vigilante seemed like a cross between The A-Team and Kick-Ass on the set of Death Wish. In other words, it was awesome. Fred Williamson starred as the leader of a group of vigilante justice-seekers trying to get the streets safe again from the vicious thugs and gangs that far outnumbered the police. A friend of Williamson's, Robert Forster, didn't really agree with their form of vigilante justice and trusted the law to keep people safe. That is, until his wife was assaulted and their child was murdered. The police caught one of the guys who did it and the judge sentenced him to a 2 year probation period. Unable to control his anger in the court, the judge sentenced Forster to 30 days in jail for contempt. While in jail his rage built until he realized what he had to do. As soon as he got out, he found Williamson, and together they went after the gang, making them pay for what they did. I'm a sucker for revenge movies, and this is one of the better ones, so I highly recommend it. I'm also a fan of William Lustig movies, and this is probably his best.
