Vigilante Action Drama Crime Films

1. Peppermint 2018 - is a vigilante action thriller.. the film follows a grieving mother (Jennifer Garner) who after her daughter and husband are killed in a cartel hit..  seeks justice.. Sadly after the tragic deaths of her family.. the justice system lets her down leaving her no choice but to seek revenge.. I loved this movie.. the whole movie is gripping and action packed.. I highly recommend it.. A definite must see

2. Cold Pursuit 2019 - is a action drama thriller film starring Liam Neeson.. The movie is a remake of a Norwegian vigilante film title In Order of Disappearance and both films were directed by Hans Moland... The film follows Nel Coxman (Liam Neeson) a snowplow driver when his wold comes crashing in after learning his son has died under mysterious circumstances.. As he searches for the truth he leaves a trail of revenge against a drug lord named Viking .. This film is what I would expect in a dramatic action Neeson film.. I loved it.. and was on the edge of my seat from start to finish..

After seeing Cold Pursuit .. I searched out the original Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance and it was actually great watching it and seeing what changes had been made for the US version..  The biggest changes in between the original film and the US film is when the mother comes in to confront her ex husband the drug lord and in the original he strikes her in the face.. it was shot very differently for the US film and just in case you wanted to know I loved the original movie as well..

I love Liam Neeson films..  and unfortunately I know he said something recently..that has developed into being controversial.. however I am human and even though I think he should have thought more before he said such a comment .. I do think that he is indeed human as well.. and humans make mistakes .. I pray for this world.. truly.. I would like to remind people of every color, sex etc.. that humans make mistake and we have a lot of freedoms in this country but in many countries in this world.. speaking out against things can also have consequences.. I feel sorry for anyone that is human and makes a mistake in this day and age.. and I accept his apology .. please let us all remember how to be human and turn the other cheek..

3. Revenge 2017 - is a gruesome revenge action movie .. the plot follows a young woman who is assaulted and left for dead in the desert by three men.. where she fights to stay alive and when her attackers learn she is alive she gets her revenge.. This movie is graphically horrific.. and will keep definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.. I highly recommend this film .. while it is gruesome the film does tell a story .. and is very worth watching.. Adults Only film.. 

4. Prisoners 2013 - is a drama crime thriller and features an ensemble cast including Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Terrence Howard and many others.. The film focuses on the abduction of two young girls in PA but after a suspect is found they release him .. leaving one of the fathers to take matters into his own hands..  This film is outstanding, thought provoking .. and totally engrossing.. this is a definite must see movie..
