There have been very few (if any) comic-book movies as smart as that one ... And, Mercurie, I would put Boondock Saints more in the vigilante category, but the rules here are about as loose as they can get, so I'll take that one tooReel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-91682760842680198812007-08-30T12:56:00.000-04:002007-08-30T12:56:00.000-04:00When it comes to revenge movies, I think my favour...When it comes to revenge movies, I think my favourites are V For Vendetta (part of V's motivation was revenge), the 1934 version of The Count of Monte Cristo, and 2002 version.

Old Boy, Taxi Driver, Jackie Brown and Rushmore are all way up there for me.

I don't think I'll be able to watch it again, even though I remember enjoying it when I saw it way back when.<BR/>As for Terrence Stamp--you didn't like him as Zod in Supe2?
