Cast

Production

Vigilante Diaries originated as a television and web series that starred Jason Mewes, Kevin L. Walker, and Paul Sloan. Funding for the series was partially raised via the crowdfunding website Chill and the series aired on the USA Network in 2014, but was cancelled after only seven episodes.[1][2] In 2014 production began on a film that would see Mewes, Walker, and Sloan returning. Other actors confirmed to be performing in the film included Quinton Rampage Jackson, Michael Jai White, and Noel Guglielmi.[3][4]

Release

The film internationally distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment. The film was theatrically released in select theaters on June 24, 2016 and was released on VOD, DVD, and Blu-ray on July 5, 2016.[5][6]

Reception

A reviewer for the Los Angeles Times wrote that "Although this film never really makes sense, Sesma’s years of experience means that it’s at least competently shot, with locations around the world. Plus, it’s admirably gonzo. And when it comes to cheap genre fare, bizarre always beats boring."[7]

Kam Williams of Baret News Wire reviewed the film stating, "this balls-out action flick features a high attrition-rate as well a measure of eroticized violence for folks who like to be titillated while satiating their bloodlust."[8]
