“Vigilante” - 1.5/4
Robert Forster stars in a very confused revenge film that can’t decide if it wants to go there or not. Forster’s wife and three year old kid are the victims of a very unlikely home invasion which begins with nonsense and ends in bloodshed. The whole film is just a series of stupid decisions from people who are uniformly one dimensional stock characters. Nobody real exists in this dreary 80’s cash-grab, nobody interesting either. The action is not good and Robert Forster looks confused and ashamed, but at least that makes sense…
I’d like to watch this film with somebody who was really looking forward to a “Death Wish” or a “Nobody” type film. That’s the best way to get any value out of it.
