loved it.
it makes you qeustion wether or not our so called protagonist is doing the right thing or not and obviously its clear what extreme line he'll cross in the name of vengeance.
if he arrested him like he should've, less people would've been hurt but its obvious from every beatdown he gives that he thinks of revenge first and justic and the people last.
