Law Abiding Citizen.

Seriously, this is the only movie where I felt the revenge scenes were on par. Every other movie that comes from bleeding-heart liberal land has the protagonist suffering and the antagonist getting a quick and easy out- usually off camera.

The Hitcher (original + remake) was good too. Gritty, unapologetic. It's not quite a full revenge flick, but it transitions into a good one.

I enjoyed John Wick, but
the death scene for the guy that started the whole mess to begin with was extremely lackluster, off-camera, and 0/10 for me. Crap^2

Most on this site are too young to remember one of the original revenge movies. Early 1970's "Walking Tall" (not the remake with Dwayne Johnson).

Based on a true story.

My Bodyguard is an older movie staring Adam Baldwin, is a revenge/retribution movie about bullying in high school. May not be action packed enough for some, but regardless is a decent movie.
A more recent one that I enjoyed is The Revenant.
