John Doe: Vigilante Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
PanamaVeggie While not all were stellar, most of the actors were solid. Sam Parsonson (Murray Wills) deserves a special mention; I expect to see him in more films as his unique look and utterly believable portrayal are sure to make directors sit up and take notice. Brooke Ryan (Mary Jones) had a small but significant role and more than delivered. There's also something very special about Gary Abrahams (Sam Foley), who reminded me of T.R Knight, Peter Dinklage, and Justin Bartha (earnest eyes, lol). Ditch Davey's detective James Clint was too "Dirty Harry" for me. He overacted and came across as a bit ridiculous. I was actually about to give up on the movie during one of his early scenes but the questions being raised were too good for me to not finish watching. We've all seen TV shows and movies dealing with revenge and vigilantism but generally they focus on doling out revenge or "justice" and not with the moral implications of taking the law into your own hands. This movie, on the other hand, raised every question imaginable. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just conclude by saying that this is a very solid movie--a perfectly good way to pass the time if you, like me, enjoy a good revenge/vigilante flick. When it comes to the premise and screenplay, however, I can't praise this movie enough. If you, like me, are always looking for a film that is truly different (and goodness knows, there are precious few), then you must watch this.
nilufer7777 My English is not so well ill try my best . This was an awesome movie.i think this is one of the best movies made in the last 10 yearswhat did i like in this movie?the actors were super, i felled the anger the worries. the storyline was very interesting. but also the telling of the story really catcht methe movie has a message the way they tell it it was the perfect way to tell itwe watched the movie with the whole family and we all agreed one of the best movies we've seenyou all remember when the matrix came out and people all get wowwwww effect you get it 2 if u watch this movie.pls watch it and write ur own reviewi really recommend this movie pls watch it and rate this movie
jamesthomas7 I randomly came across this movie and after seeing an over 6 rating on here thought i'd give it a go. Well I'm glad I did! It's a unique film centred around a captured vigilante being interviewed while we see what he did through flashbacks. It works perfectly, the acting is top notch, performances on the money and it really does make you think how bad the justice system has become. I'm really impressed with this, picture was crystal clear, sound was perfect too, this wasn't a low budget type sounding like it was filmed in the toilet with amateur performances like you often get with these small releases. The violence is very realistic, hard hitting and brutal in places but it serves the story well. Check it out, nice little twist before the end too.
Vivekmaru45 This is a film with a powerful message to the society as a whole. The topic of the film is about people taking the law into their own hands and delivering swift justice on the criminals who have harmed them. Thus the term Vigilante: a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.The film also focuses on the criminal as well as the crime committed. Young juvenile delinquents are often converted into hardened criminals simply by the association of the two in jails. Young first time teenage offenders are often beaten and raped by the hardened criminals during their first years in prison. They are also mentored by these career criminals into propagating even more heinous crimes like breaking and entering, car-jacking, rape and even premeditated murder. Often when released, these young criminals vent their anger at the first person that crosses their path.The film shows the flaws in the justice system allowing career criminals to be released on a technicality or loopholes by their lawyers. These depraved individuals often return to their criminal ways despite their rehabilitation.The old saying "An eye for an eye" is a model for the capital punishment system that mankind has adopted for centuries. In Britain and America, it was hanging. During the French Revolution, it was the Guillotine. Later with the advent of modern science, we had the electric chair and gas chamber. Later on the lethal injection became more practical. Britain has abolished the death penalty and there has been no hanging for a period of 50 years.This film is about a man who has suffered at the hands of a perverse and ruthless criminal. He cannot tolerate his grief anymore and thus adopts the mentality of a vigilante to seek absolution. The film is documentary style interrogation with live footage of the vigilantes actions and the crowds reactions to the televised footage the vigilante has sent to the press. The film has graphic scenes of violence. Therefore I would not recommend this film for persons under 18 years.Some similar films you may like: Walking Tall (1973), Midnight Express(1978), Bound By Honor a.k.a. Blood In Blood Out (1993), American Me (1992), Animal Factory (2000), Charles Bronson's Death Wish Films 1-5 (1974-1994), Death Sentence (2007), Fighting Back (1982 Must see film starring Tom Skerrit), The Exterminator 1&2(1980-1984 Cult films starring Robert Ginty).Thank you for reading this review.
