This is the ultimate guy film. It has all the key ingredients, revenge, redemption, a healthy dose of violence and exactly the characteristics you decribe in the leads to carry it off.

It has become so familiar and it's hard to see why the critics were so hard on it at the time.

The guy who 'actually' committed the crime Dufreyne was sentenced for was supremely insane and evil* even though you only get to see him in silhouette and via a second-hand confessional story.

Still in my top ten.
