Here is my way of looking at it at the story as described:
The purpose of the logline is to describe the ONE primary action of the story toward ONE objective goal. The action of this story is the struggle toward the objective goal of bringing the guilty to justice. Embedded in the action is a moral premise in the form of a thesis (positive value and corresponding action) and an antithesis (negative value and corresponding action).
The thesis (positive valence) of the moral premise is worked out in the 2nd act by the action to get justice in a corrupt system. That action ends in failure.
Now, the protagonist pursues the SAME objective goal by the antithesis of the moral premise: he takes matters into his own hands. Call it revenge, but revenge is personal justice, street justice — it is still the pursuit of justice.
So what you have is a story that explores the two aspects of one moral premise, two strategies toward one principle objective goal: bring the guilty to justice.
fwiw.
