2) Assault On Wall Street
Any working man will love this story, the second vigilante movie on this list. After bankers, brokers, speculators and all around kleptocratic scum ride the economy ’till it crashes, Dominic Purcell loses his sick wife because he can’t pay her medical bills. So he heads on down to Wall Street with a fucking machine gun. Get ’em, Dom.
He’s going straight for the jugular and the source of all problems. Ain’t nobody got time for CGI-riddled propaganda in his world, the man has real problems. Having lost his wife, having had his house wrongly foreclosed, somebody is about to pay. The people that Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne have lunch with are about to be terminated with extreme prejudice. The manly retribution? It could barely be more satisfying. Purcell, in the performance of the year and playing a military veteran, is the wrath of fucking God. The massacre is prolonged, competently directed and satisfying.
