The first half is fascinating, but the picture loses its momentum during the second hour.
"A Vigilante" spends more time showing the debilitating psychological impact of violence, both on Sadie and on the families she's trying to help, than almost any revenge thriller I can think of. "A Vigilante," which stars Olivia Wilde as a domestic abuse survivor who remakes herself as an avenging angel, is one of those small but brutal films that major directorial careers are made from.

Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Sarah Daggar-Nickson, it's a movie-as-weapon. |, March 28, 2019 The last 30 minutes are fine, but it's not on the same level.
Uncorked Productions, May 31, 2019 Vigilantism is a questionable fantasy of empowerment, but Daggar-Nickson makes her movie (largely) work by keeping everything - her antihero, the registers of violence - austere and persuasively low key.

Regal The only thing I can say against it is that it doesn't seem to have fully thought through the implications of reveling in fantasies of payback and control while also going out of its way to emphasize the real-world impact of Sadie's suffering and the brutality she visits on (deserving) others. The Vigilante (2019) 12min | Short, Thriller Jeremy and Vanessa are on their first date. Writer-director Sarah Daggar-Nickson navigates with understanding and skill - her heroine is surprisingly believable, though that's partly because we want to believe.

Directed by Sarah Daggar-Nickson. Jeremy wants to score, Vanessa has other things planned. It's like one of those knives that are small enough to be hidden in a coat sleeve or the lip of a boot but that can still cut a man's throat. |, May 29, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 Forgot your password? We won’t be able to verify your ticket today, but it’s great to know for the future. "A Vigilante" is upfront about being a cathartic fantasy, starring a conventionally beautiful and physically fit star who could play a superhero (and sort of already is playing one here, when you think about it; put a cool costume on her and you've got a female Frank Castle).
The movie begins with a sequence that could well be the premise-establishing prelude to a TV series like the original "The Equalizer": following a sequence of shots establishing a bleak midwinter setting, the heroine, Wilde's Sadie, is seen working a punching bag, the camera so tight on her face and upper torso that the swinging motion of her fists makes the viewer feel battered. and to receive email from Rotten Tomatoes and Fandango. And Wilde's performance is so committed that there are times when you may fear for her physical safety and emotional health. Olivia Wilde stars in the revenge thriller A Vigilante. Pulse Films, The storytelling really isn't that good, as it kind of just jumps randomly into different scenes from Sadie's missions without getting into the context (whether she's doling out punishment, helping victims escape, or eliminating abusers).

If an inability to avoid getting high on your own supply were a deal breaker in vigilante cinema, there wouldn't be any vigilante movies.
