Vendetta
»rank: 62185
0ur opinion: :While history books often use the 1921 Sacco and Vanzetti case as an example of justice falling victim to the bigotry of the times, this HB0 movie--based on a turn-of-the-century New 0rleans trial--provides a far more sobering example. Vendetta opens with a montage of black-and-white photos of immigrants arriving in the U.S., accompanied by an audio track of anti-immigrant invective that sets the tone for the rest of the movie. Christopher Walken lends his always unsettling presence as the city's largest cotton exporter and mastermind ...
