List: Top 3 Acts of Justice

This week on Episode 248 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by DC’s latest in Justice League, we discussed our favorite acts of justice in film. There are many reasons one would seek justice, and boy, has cinema done a great job of reverberating exactly that over the years. Whether it be small moments within a film, or perhaps the entirety of the movie is set on the idea of justice, either way the satisfaction of righting wrongs has been viscerally displayed countless times since the inception of the art form. There are a million options for this list, but we hope we gave it all the (ahem) justice it deserves. On that note, what movies would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
