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.

I'm usually not a fan of writer/director movies, but this takes the Hollywood revenge movie just a little more over the top.

A few plot discontinuities and a some of the dialog was, well, amateurish - but a very solid effort. Much colstlier movies haven't delivered as much.

For a little mindless entertainment, this is worth the time.

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

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.

I'm a massive fan of revenge movies but this left me feeling flat. Standard plot, every macho cliché in the book and some very average acting.
