Big Bad Wolves trailer: vigilante injustice?

There’s been a story in the news in the U.K. recently about two men who have pled guilty to killing a neighbor because they believed the man was a pedophile. The man was innocent.

I hope this is not the sort of thing that this film considers black funny.

Stories about vigilantes are always problematic for me, and few films get it right. (This year’s Prisoners did.) So I shall be approaching this one with caution.

share and enjoy

Ah, torture porn, it’s so wacky and humorous.
