Brian's Review - Vigilante (1983)


Revenge always looked the coolest in the '80s.

Released: 1983
Genre(s): Crime, Action

As far as '80s action movies go, "Vigilante" is definitely not the worst I've seen. One of a plethora of revenge movies that came out during the era, this one actually doesn't make you scratch your head too much - the characters are fun, realistic, and although they're a little bloodthirsty, they all possess at least a little something resembling logic. Anyone who enjoys a good chase scene to a pulsing synth track, followed by a brutal, extreme justice-style beat down will get a kick out of "Vigilante," as a majority of the movie follows this formula. Sure, it's not deep, nor clever in any sort of way, but for a quick, wild, dirty '80s romp, you really can't hate on it.

Rating (out of 5): 3.5
