Vengeance

This is not the worst B Grade action movie I have ever seen. Yes, it's cliche, yes, it's predictable. However, you don't watch these types of movies for originality's sake. You watch them because they are meant to be fun. This movie was just that, for me. No exposition, no preaching, no satire. Just straight to the story of a guy getting killed and his buddy showing up to exact revenge. My main complaint is that this movie needed less annoying junkie girl and more fighting sequences.

This is such a stale outdated plot and terrible acting. Can't believe I actually watch the whole movie. Knowing how it was going to end from the beginning.

This one had a lot of originality and unpredictability to keep a viewer engaged. I find almost all B action movies boring and cartoonish Ninja like, but this one was a level above normal largely because of the interesting lead.

Sure we've seen these films before. Yes there was every cliche in this film. But I never get bored watching vengeance films - unless they are produced like a 5th grader.

Right from the start (and throughout), the annoying Tetris music set the stage for failure. The screenplay just as infantile and bad. The director couldn't even instruct his actors on where to properly look during certain scenes, and where to aim the cameras properly. The heroin addict girl was overly annoying, loud and obnoxious. Stu Bennett overplayed and under-performed this tough guy act. He made Steven Seagal look more convincing in his recent flop action films. The fight scenes where 1980's. The entire film was predictable.

Unless you're really really bored, I'd pass on this one. Even the fake reviewers felt guilty giving this a 10/10 so they gave it an 8. It's a very generous 3/10 from me.

Keep in mind most of these direct to VOD, bargain bin action titles are crap. I admit I am a bit of a connoisseur of B-action movies which led me to the generically titled " Vengeance". I had heard of the main star from his WWE days as "Wade Barrett" and from another decent B - Level action film "Eliminators" with fellow action star Scott Adkins. I did not expect much from the movie and I'm sure most people who watch it won't either, but it does deliver on some solid action. Plenty of fights, shootouts, violent bad guy deaths with one liners thrown in for good measure, A good body count from the former WWE star who would do well in other low/mid level action movies. Perhaps a Russian henchman or sidekick to some aging action star. Overall, if you dig these kinds of movies you should give it a watch and ignore the (current) 4.0 rating and enjoy these movies for what they are.

6/10
