Cold blooded murder of criminals, torturing them before the execution?
Let's not be coy about this. When this novel was penned, the right was screaming about Law and Order and films like Dirty Harry and Death Wish fed a vigilanteism that repulsed less reactionary members of society.
These "heroes" aren't content to stop crime, hold criminals for police. They want to kill them, period. SPOILER
How much fun you must have had watching the heroes go into that alley, luring those gang members whom they then beat senseless, with many being killed (more than a few were viciously kicked or struck after they'd lost consciousness or were helpless after suffering paralyzing blows).
And I suppose you thrilled to the repeated meat cleaver strikes into the head of the immobilized child killer, shown in lurid graphic detail.
You may be in some sort of denial about the level and frequency of violence in the film.
Perhaps you enjoyed the fact that 7 million or so New Yorkers were vaporized, as well as the countless other millions of East coast city dwellers, in order to preemptively stop a larger possible exchange? Ah, the doctrine of preemption at its best! I especially liked the fact that those heroes left standing at the end all thought it was a pretty good idea, too.
The level of the depiction of violence, the fact that some of the worst is meted out by "heroes" and then the ultimate carnage involving millions of victims, calculated as if they were some sort of wooden chess pieces----- well, friendo, that's shocking to anyone that hasn't become a robot himself, who hasn't played so many computerized war games that they think death is some sort of electronic make believe.
This is a sick movie. Period.
