The Conundrum of Vigilante Justice has been the Topic of Many a Movies and the Message is Delivered here with a clearly Different Style and Tone. That makes it Worth a Watch because it isn't just More of the Same, it is More of the Same but Served with a bit of Low Budget Grittiness, coupled with some Clever Turns, that adds to the Film's Gravitas.
Sometimes the Indie Budget Betrays and Exposes some Weaknesses, like a Muddled Montage and Mediocre Acting, that at times is so "In Your Face" that the Suspension of Disbelief teeters.
On the other hand its Standoffish Camera gives the thing a Detached Demeanor. Being Removed from the Proceedings the Audience is in essence Layered and Given a Pass from the Guilt that John Doe states is not as Easy as the Killings.
There Never is an Easy Answer to the Questions Posed in this Scenario and John Doe makes all the Necessary Points with an Occasional Outburst from His Detached Demeanor. The Film borders on the Exploitative at times but does Hold Back enough to be Engaging to say the least.
