If the readers may permit a small intro over this topic, so sorry humanists, civil rights defenders, those believers that just the justice should made through the slowest and corrupt judiciary system, although the majority of mankind is really good, the evil still rules, why it continues happen nowadays? Because lenient laws settle to enrich the lawyers, those criminals that supposedly to be victims of the society.
Thus many filmmakers dared bring those vendetta movies like Death Wish franchise, Coffy, Punisher, Foxy Brown, Vengeance, Mr. Majestyk, Mad Max, The Exterminator, The Exterminator 2, Originals Gangsters, Vigilante and so on and the audience thrilled on those magnificent pictures.
The Vigilante came out of far off 1982, bringing the rising star Robert Forster, Fred Williamson as the black leader, Carol Lynley as Attorney Defense also the veteran black actor Woody Strode at prison in a small still meaningful role, it has too many black guys in both sides so this feature has a small accent of blaxploitation mainly by the robust attending of Fred Williamson an exponent figure in that genre.
The plot is the same, a hard work man Eddie Marino (Robert Forster) has a wife and a little boy living the American dream at New York, a foolish quarrel between his wife and a Latin gang leader when he was battering the owner at gas station triggered a sad events whereof his kid was murdered without a pity and she was sharply stabbed even called the police previously, still believing in the justice Eddie looking for aid of Attorney Defense Mary Fletcher (Carol Lynley).
