Do cultures like the vengeful patriarch's in the older movie "Taken 2" still exist?
I was raised under unusually community oriented cultures who would not respect family members committing reprehensible acts. I can't understand the family patriarch in that movie persistently seeking vengeance for his son's death when his son was a horrible criminal killed by one of his victims' rescuing father.
Would such tightly family oriented cultures actually persist in vengeance when the son, by my judgement, morally doesn't deserve such devotion?

I am not familiar with the movie but the answer is tribal thinking.
Even if the guy deserves no respect, he is family, so therefore part of the tribe and must be avenged.
