I can see why this crime/revenge thriller got decent critical reviews but real people disliked it - interesting premise, guy takes revenge on the killers and the legal system involved in not bringing them to justice, do you support the revenge superhero murderer or the narcissistic prosecutor, but the movie really goes slapstick by the last third and bungles the landing pretty badly.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
