The Vigilante

It's clearly a B film, so as such, it's a middle of the road viewing experience. There are much more bottom of the bargain bin B films, and much better ones, and this one had a good theme, but was riddled with many rookie filmmaking mistakes.

There were many holes in the writing as well as plot and technical issues. The PTSD flashbacks started to become annoying, then ended up being cringe and worthy of eyerolls. Even the sister's whole "dancing" scenes were pointless and just added annoying filler that detracted from the urgency and seriousness of her situation. Had those scenes and the PTSD ones been cut out, and the pacing picked up by at least 1.2x, I may have enjoyed this more and been more forgiving to the many other filmmaking errors.

But as it was, the 101 min runtime felt way longer and I caught myself losing interest many times. There were also too many sappy and poorly thought out writing issues, some I could even call lazy. For example, everyone knows from Vigilante Class 101, you wear a mask to hide your identity. I also found most of the action scenes poorly filmed and choreographed.

Casting and performances where adequate for a B film, although Jandreau's character was the least convincing. Partial blame I'm sure goes to poor cast direction and also to poor writing, especially when in some scenes she easily takes down big guys with her military training, and then can't handle taking down the women she fought. It really made those scenes feel like amateur-hour filmmaking you'd expect from a high school drama class. Nevertheless, it's better than watching paint dry, and that's a hard find with most of the poor quality B films out lately.

(2023) The Vigilante THRILLER ACTION

Misleading title to which if one were to look at it one might assume it is an action movie, but it is like as soon as it's watched the action does not happen until after the 40 minute mark and all it is just a few fights.

It opens with her SUV getting rear ended with the lead star, Jessica Carson (Jet Jandreau) ended up in the hospital. It is during then the movie goes on a 40 minute introduction showcasing her as a special forces employed in Afghanistan, and shooting a young girl strapped with explosives and running toward her squadron unit. And because she was a part of that explosion, it deployed her services that means more time with her actual daughter, 13 year old Aimee Carson (Jamie M Timmons). Except that apparently, because Aimee is part of social media, human trafficking goons thought it might be a good idea to kidnap her for their human trafficking ring. And by the time Jessica comes through, and after meeting with the detective, Detective Tom Mason (Paul Bond) assigned to the case, it turned out he was worthless, hinting to her her daughter may have been abducted. And instead of staying home waiting for results, Jessica then seeks help for her tech friend, Dan Benson(Eric Pierce) who she used to served with, and a prostitute on the streets.

The only thing this movie was doing was attempting to capitalize on the success of another human trafficking movie released earlier during the same year called "Sound of Freedom", with action scenes that do not make a whole lot of sense.

The film is a good action film that is driven by a strong female lead. The film is well shot and the energy and momentum is constant throughout. Jessica is a strong character who returning to the U. S.from Afghanistan finds that her sister Aimee has been abducted by traffickers- Jessica will go on the journey to attempt to save her sister and bring justice to those who abducted Aimee.

The role of Jessica is well-constructed and therefore brings a lot of reality to the film. Once one starts watching the film it is a good watch that has tension, action and suspense. A film that audiences should find highly entertaining.

The Vigilante (2022) is a trainwreck of a film. The acting is terrible, the story is incoherent, and the whole thing is just not watchable.

The lead actcresses, who is supposed to be a vigilante ex-military fighter, has all the charisma of a wet sock. She delivers her lines with a monotone voice and no emotion whatsoever. The supporting cast is even worse, with everyone either overacting or delivering their lines in a cheesy, hammy way.

The story is a complete mess. It's hard to follow what's going on at any given time, and the plot twists are so ridiculous that they're unintentionally funny.

The action scenes are poorly choreographed and executed. The fight scenes are especially bad, with the actors flailing their arms and legs around like they have no idea what they're doing.

Overall, The Vigilante (2022) is a terrible film that I would not recommend to anyone. It's a waste of time and money.

This movie could've been a blockbuster like an eight or nine but instead, it's a three because of a couple things. Number one the whole haven't heard keep going back into the Middle East. It would be understandable if it was just storing her sleeping, having nightmares it going to be the least, but having her do that, wow in the middle of really important things going on in our life at the moment you don't want to Cellarmaker hallucination back to the Middle East that's not how PTSD works. It also didn't make sense on why she kept morning. This little kid who had an explosive vest on him and was running at them to kill them , the other problem was the ending the end of the hall and scene where they find a muse house so they have her a soldier having problems with a someone I need to know how to word it but just a regular girl who is ski and only did they make the flight close for the most part the villain girl in the room winning most of the time

Like having him go back in the middle of them having a standoff to make evil like, but having her in her head, go back to the middle east while they're in the middle of a standoff doesn't make sense 00.
