Acts of Vengeance

First thing I noticed at the beginning of the film was that it was very cheesy and poorly executed. The font title was laughable. This was like one of those 90's film where our leather-jacket-wearing hero would flip a broomstick in a kung-fu-ish manner before wedging it between the handles of a kitchen door type of movie.

The script is almost mediocre. And the protagonist, Antonio Banderas also looks too old to play the role to be honest, but kudos to him for actually performing most of the stunts which is always a good thing when it comes to editing because this is what you came to see right? an action film. Not some shaky cam with 5 different cuts just to shoot a single punch that has plagued action films for years. But now, I think is a trend that is fading away.

This one delivers nice and slick action scenes. And realistically short as well. You will know what I mean. You want a pop corn late night action film? You know what to expect. its just a little bit better.

Not a bad vigilante movie in which Antonio Banderas plays a kind of Nicholas Cage character. Nothing new under the sun, as we say in France. I find here some EQUALIZER elements: Russian mob, teen hooker, mystical avenger reading books, aware of sounds and eye glancing. And of course Chuck Bronson's ghost is nearly everywhere in this film. I expected nor worse or better. Just an adequate time waster.

If you like a John Wick type of movie, then this one is for you. No spoilers here, the movie is about Antonio Banderas trying to find out who killed his daughter and wife.

The fight scenes are done very well, of course the film is made by Isaac Floertine.

There was only one thing I didn't like about the film and that was giving it an man background, I think it would have been better if it didn't have this as a background, but overall the film was very good.

Antonio Banderas us becoming my new favourite actin star, this film and his last film, Security, maybe he is having his time now. I hope there are more action thrillers from him in the near future. Well worth a watch but don't expect an Oscar winning movie.

I had mixed thoughts before watching this film after reading negative reviews, I have to say this movie turned out to be pretty decent. Antonio has made a comeback with an action film. A decent story line that keeps you watching. If you fancy something different other that watching your fav film over again, then watch this. Not bad at all.

2017 has seen the return of Antonio Banderas in full Liam Neeson action hero mode, First punishing the bad guys in the decent B-level action flick "Security", and now another in "Acts Of Vengeance". These kinds of low budget action flicks are pretty bland and run of the mill for the most part, but with a solid yet underrated action director like Isaac Florentine (Ninja II, Undisputed II & III) and a good actor like Antonio Banderas, the movie does stand out as a good direct to VOD action flick. As a guy who grew up on these throwback action films, I liked it. Overall,a fast paced, efficient, action packed movie. Loaded with some well shot and choreographed fights and Banderas delivering justice and kicking ass like its back in the 90's.
