[f.g.i.] Presents: 10 Badass Vigilantes You Don't Mess With

The inspiration for this post came to me after watching a little-known movie called "Harry Brown." In the movie, Michael Caine stars as a retired widower whose tolerance for the local drug gang is pushed to limit when his only friend is brutally murdered. With nothing left to lose, Harry decides to take justice into his own hands. Although he tries to forget the man he used to be when he served in the Royal Marines, Harry has no problem going after the young gangsters who killed his best friend. "Harry Brown" is an excellent movie, and it begs the question: When the system fails to enact sufficient criminal punishment, does a person have the right to take matters into their own hands? In honor of "Harry Brown," here's a list of my favorite vigilantes in movies:
