I was going to make a list. But I gave up. The list would probably reference the majority of Hollywood movies.
The common theme: a heinous crime is committed against the lone hero’s loved ones. He goes outside the law to enact his revenge on the perpetrators.
Why do producers and studios make so many of these films? They sell.
Why? Because the audience knows the legal system of justice is broken. The audience has a visceral desire to see actual justice delivered. They want to see a hero make criminals pay.
