Overview: Give her a call, and she’ll give you justice. After escaping her violent husband, Sadie (Olivia Wilde) makes it her life’s mission to help free others in danger.

Now, after months of rigorous training in survival skills, boxing, and lethal martial arts, Sadie is back with a vengeance in this fight-packed action-thriller.

Blu-ray Verdict: Australian moviemaker Daggar-Nickson and actress and producer Olivia Wilde have decided to endow their film with a hardness and violence rarely seen in the movies; making their lack of production resources a quality, giving the film an almost documentary tone.

The film is extremely dry, without any concession and full of scenes difficult to watch, given the crudity with which the camera reports the facts of the script.

This more than naturalistic option is clear in the process of deglamorization of the protagonist Sadie. Olivia Wilde is easy one of the most beautiful actresses of the current cinema.

His work on TV series such as House (the unforgettable Doctor Thirteen) or Vinyl or in films like 'Love The Coopers' or 'Cowboys And Aliens' always brought one of the most beautiful faces on the screens.

Here she is completely brutalized and stripped of all charm, living (very well) the main character, a woman suffered physically and morally for the very serious abuses she endured.

Their routine is to live in cheap motels or almost empty homes, physically training to resist abuse (and attack abusers) or in the painful sessions of the abused women's support group.

There are numerous scenes that look like a punch in the stomach. All very well made and raw filmed, almost in a cruel way. But fully embedded in the unsorted narrative that the movie chose.

A "gun-movie", "a female Frank Castle", "the solitary avenger", "a desperate fighter against crime" or "frighteningly real monsters" are expressions that come immediately to mind just 20 minutes in and as much as they are all highly laudatory texts, the movie is much more than that within its underbelly.

Ergo, 'The Vigilante,' although a film about a figure usually rejected (mainly by movie critics en mass) to take justice in his (or her) own hands, it surpasses this barrier by the easy understanding that the victims of domestic abuses conquer in the present times.

More than a wonderful film, 'The Vigilante' is an important movie to see in todays day and age. A unique film with an interesting plot and great acting watch it and thank me later! This is a Widescreen Presentation (2.40:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Bonus Feature of:
