Taxi Driver

Death Wish series, but 3 is probably the most badass type of them

 

[Jodell88]

Robin Hood: Men in Tights :sneaky:

 

[Ichinisan]

God Bless America
V For Vendetta

"V for Vendetta" was based on a comic book.

Err..."graphic novel."

would Hard Candy be considered vigilante?

[PliotronX]

2002's Count of Monte Cristo:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245844/

One of my Top 10 movies :thumbsup:

Good timing, I agree! Watched it last night with the wifey. I'd have to give a nod to A History of Violence both the old and remake versions. Also another vote for Breakdown.

Definitely. Good call.

[Iron Woode]

Dirty Harry, Magnum Force and The Enforcer

Not a movie but the entire series of Person of Interest.

 

[angminas]

I still think Batman Begins was the best of the Christopher Nolan trilogy...by far.

[edit]
Somehow missed "non."

I agree. TDK is VASTLY overrated, and TDKR was nearly boring.

 

[CZroe]

The Brave One - Jodie Foster

 

[BurnItDwn]

Not quite vigilante, since one of the guys is technically an undercover cop ...

but otherwise, an excellent action movie with great stunts: District B13
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414852/
Luc Besson wrote the screenplay.
Piere Morel directed this.

Think Fifth Element meets Taken, but with the casting being used for finding stuntmen/freerunners rather than actors ....

Anyhow, its one of my "guilty pleasure" movies, I like a lot.

Also, double bonus points for the Hobo with a Shotgun mention ...

 

[BurnItDwn]

Oooh, what about Blue Ruin!!!! Its a fvcked up take on vigilante vengeance.

 

[LevelSea]

Surprised no one has mention Old Boy.

 

[HN]

Surprised no one has mention Old Boy.

wasn't that originally a comic?

*edit*
oh, i see. "non-superhero". slow reading comprehension day for me

 

[darkewaffle]

Cool Hand Luke is more of a rebel than a vigilante, but even so Paul Newman is awesome and so is that movie.

 

[Chapbass]

Came here to make sure Payback was listed, glad I wasn't disappointed. Boondock Saints, definitely.

 

[BoberFett]

Super

I just watched Super recently. Good flick. Despite the fact that it's Rainn Wilson becoming a cheesy "superhero", it is not for kids. LOL
