  2. "Get Out" (2017) might fit this description.
    During his escape he pretty much ruins all who deceived him along the way...so maybe it is revenge along with other things.

    Old Boy is the ultimate of revenge motive stacked on revenge motive, but I'll go with True Grit (2010).

    I searched really fast (perhaps toooo fast), but how can someone not have mentioned this movie?

    It's a better than okay movie. Way over the top, but kind of fun in its absurdity and excess. And the lead actress isn't hard on the eyes . . .

    - Ragtime. A transcendent film, a visual feast, with the righteous but unbounded rage of Coalhouse Walker, Jr. at its moral and dramatic core.
    - The Sting. The ultimate caper movie, with Redford and Newman at the height of their powers, and dozens of great character actors. As Henry Gondorff (Newman) says, "revenge is for suckers." After they get revenge, he asks Johnny Hooker (Redford) if it's enough: "No. But it's close."

    Who's left for him to go after? I thought he got them all by the end of the film.

    The problem with Death Wish is that none of the sequels came close to matching the original. But both movies were as much about the transformation of the protagonist as they were about revenge. Once the transformation is complete and revenge is complete; there's no need for the story to continue (IMO). I'm sick and tired of endless sequels cashing in on one good idea.

    And in the original, Kersey never did find those responsible for attacking his family.
