Goddess Riley North originally had a happy and happy family, but because her husband (repairman)’s colleagues had a bad idea, they wanted to grab the gangster boss (drug dealer)’s crooked ideas for drugs and wanted to make ill-gotten wealth, although the mint husband was on his daughter’s birthday. Touched by the warm and happy family that night, he clearly told his colleagues that he would not participate, but in the end he and his daughter died tragically at the gunpoint of the gang. Riley North witnessed the tragic deaths of her husband and daughter. Mint disappeared for 5 years after the judicial organs and the judicial system were unable to properly intervene to pursue the legal responsibility of the perpetrator. During these 5 years, she was preparing for revenge. After Mint returned, he brought to justice the direct murderer who caused the tragic death of his family and the judicial officials who were behind the scenes and maliciously indulged criminals. Of course, drug dealers were also pursued by the government. In the end Mint finally got revenge. However, he was also captured by the police. After knowing the causes and consequences of Mint’s actions, the justice police leader Detective Moises Beltran gave Mint the key to open the handcuffs, leaving a slightly obtrusive one, but it can satisfy the audience’s taste and sense of justice. Comedy results.

The plot of the film is simple, family members are killed, under the dominance of homomorphic revenge, and then the heroine takes revenge. During the revenge process, he shows what Mint did. In the real society, each of us suffers from "unnatural justice" all the time. , Complaints from family members, complaints from colleagues, criticism from bosses, incomprehension from people who don’t know, and violations from bad guys... All of this makes us look forward to a "superman" to uphold justice and God to come. Ruling everything, but it is really impossible. It is precisely because of this human foundation that Riley North's story, although old-fashioned, does not lack audiences; although it is unrealistic, it is "splendid".

During and at the end of the revenge, a large number of kind and righteous people appeared. They are the foundation of this society.

The significance of the film is anti-rule of law, but it is more like a suggestion to the country and society.

A society under the rule of law requires everyone to abide by the law, to be held accountable for lawlessness, and not to be wronged. The latter two harm the rule of law strongly and are more likely to attract people's attention.

After anyone suffers unfair treatment, he can help himself to help. How can the state and social order be maintained? The film has no substantive suggestions.

The law is not necessarily reasonable. Such things are happening almost every day, because the law cannot predict the full picture of every story, and therefore plant the seeds of revenge. But it is not in accordance with the law, but it is reasonable. Detective Moises Beltran let Riley North go. It makes people feel that the police has a sense of justice and a human touch. However, from the perspective of system and social operation, both of them are anti-rule of law. Undermining the established order of the rule of law. If everyone is like this, we will return to the Leviathan era.

Justice and injustice do not have a clear boundary. Sometimes it depends on our criteria for judgment. In line with the heart? Comply with the law? Everyone may have their own standards. In the play Riley North's Revenge was understood by a large number of audiences, quietly revealing the original state of society.
