Whatnerd's 10 Best Revenge Movies About Vengeance and Payback

"Who doesn't love a good revenge film? When someone is deeply wronged by another and it seems like no consequences will come their way, we long for our hero to take matters into their own hands. But the revenge film can also be self-reflective, asking us to consider questions like: Is revenge good? Where is the line drawn between justice and vengeance? When is vigilantism acceptable, if it is? For any given case, the desire for revenge may seem justified by some yet unlawful or even immoral by others. Does the nature of an offense—or the degree of malice behind it—make retribution justifiable? Here are my picks for the best revenge movies about vengeance and payback, which tap into the human need for settling scores and explore how far we're willing to go to make that happen." - whatnerd.com
