2 movies feature this trope
Mārama
Cole's destruction of Mārama's family is the wrong that drives the entire plot. In 1859 colonial England, official justice for an Indigenous woman against a titled landowner is absent, making personal confrontation the only recourse. The climax—confronting and destroying Cole—is framed as righteous payoff, and no meaningful consequences for Mārama's vengeance are indicated.
Brothers Under Fire
Alberto's murder is the explicit emotional engine that 'galvanizes' the squad and drives the plot. The vow to avenge him is presented as righteous and noble. Official law enforcement is absent — the squad must deliver justice themselves. The revenge quest is framed as inseparable from heroism and protection of innocents, ensuring it reads as cathartic rather than troubling.
