Evil with evil

After watching a film of the same name, I found out that it was a remake in 2010, so I went to download and watch the original version in 1978. The plots of the two versions are similar. The remake version has more police characters, and the heroine's means of revenge are more cruel. Each has its pros and cons, and the evaluations are similar.
Westerners say "a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye", and the Chinese say "repay virtue with virtue, and grudge for grudge", both advocate that evil should not be condoned, and that it is a good way to make the other party pay the price. But can it be counterattacked without restraint, and can it be counterattacked in a way worse than the opponent?
When the heroine was inhumanely hurt by the other party, it aroused anger in her heart. In her eyes, the other party was no longer human, so treating them in a cruel way did not feel inhumane.
There is a little unreasonable place, the heroine was originally a weak woman, but later she was able to kill people one by one smoothly, acting smart, calm, and decisive. Aside from the first half, the heroine in the second half acts like a serial killer, and her cruelty to life is undoubtedly an evil. Perhaps the heroine sees this act as a revenge for evil, a punishment for evil that outweighs the evil of the act itself.
Violence does not have to be unjust. From a larger perspective, violence can also be just. Violence and cruelty beyond the limit are a kind of evil in themselves, even if this kind of violence has a certain justice.
