Solid Suburban Mom Vigilante Bad Ass Movie.

This was a good time. It's like Boondock Saints (minus the style) meets Shooter and Alias. Everyone loves it when untouchable bad guys get their comeuppance. We all like watching the take down of corruption. That said I could've used a little more depth of story. It was mostly by the numbers as far as action films go. I went into this one not knowing the basic premise, my wife picked it and I said ok. Had I known the premise I would've seen most of this movie coming. That's not to say it's less enjoyable, just that it's slightly less awesome. (hence the 7)

This documentary is really interesting! I think in the United States we get really sucked into ourselves and what's going on in our country that we forget that we aren't the only ones that experience so many things. Murder and mystery and corruption aren't things exclusive to the U.S. and this documentary does a really good job of reminding you of that.

In terms of the documentary itself, it's definitely interesting. I wish there was a little bit more to it. The connection between the cases seems thin, but I suppose that's the point if you watch the whole film. It's unfortunate that they couldn't get the original people - the suspects, judges, and officers - for various reasons, be it death or refusal to participate. I'm curious to see the outcome now that it's been 3 years since its release.
