    "The difference between real life and the movies is that little is black and white in real life."
    Followed by–"Since everyone she shot was guilty, I applaud the swift execution of justice."
    Not a black and white statement at all.

        Killing thugs who killed someone close to you isn't even wrong. So this morality debate or "two wrongs don't make a right" crap are completely irrelevant. Nothing she did was even wrong.

          Hell yeah. It's far cheaper to kill scum than imprison them and place a burden on the taxpayer!

              Perhaps if you read some good history books about the Vigilance committees, you wouldn't call this vigilante justice.

                There should never be a need to kill
                You're right. There SHOULD never be a need to kill but that need does sometimes arise. For example, I will kill someone before I let them kill me. I suspect you would as well.
                As for Jodie Foster's character, it's a movie. There's nothing wrong with enjoying vigilante justice on the big screen, nor is it indicative of what we would want to see in real life any more than enjoying a good disaster movie means we want to actually see a disaster occur.

                  No I don't support it at all.
                  I enjoyed the movie the first hour, thought it was good. I had no problem at all with her killing in self defense. The two first killings were ok then it turned silly.
                  That feminist-BS with her killing a guy for buying a hooker (hooker carries no responsability of course) + killing some mobster that she didn't even know apart from her cop-friends description.
                  That turned her into a silly moralist and contract killer.
                  I don't know why they threw in those scenes at all, they had NOTHING to do with her story. She was much more likeable and convincing when she killed in self defense.
                  Last killings made sense out of her perspective, but the ending was idiotic. If she really wanted to kill those guys why involve the cop?
                  And once again another movie with an incompetent police officer making the wrong choices. The ending was weak, it would've been much stronger with him either shooting her or that she'd step aside and respect the law.
                  Then the morale of the story would be: "retaliation is understandable but we can't have a vigilante society" as opposed to "the police fully support a vigilante society"

                    No, but I enjoyed this film for what it was and I was highly satisfied with the ending.

                      killing humans is wrong. but burglars, paedos, rapists, muggers aren't humans, they're monsters. and it's ok to send monsters back to hell where they belong.
                      so yes, i support vigilante justice. kill the monsters. the slower and more painful for them the better.
