Literature and cinema are full of great tales of revenge. It’s one of the tentpoles of storytelling, one that meets the primal bases of most everyone alive, something to which each person can relate, regardless of whether they admit.
Great revenge movies include Unforgiven, the John Wick franchise, Gone Girl, Cape Fear, the Kill Bill movies, the underrated Denzel Washington vehicle Man on Fire, Law Abiding Citizen, Munich, Road to Perdition, and, for those who love a long con, The Prestige.
