This is a gritty, mean, down and dirty crime story about gritty, mean, down and dirty criminals. It's also Johnson and Adkins' most ambitious film to date, as well as maybe their best.

| Original Score: A | Jun 30, 2020

As usual, Adkins' fighting is great and his acting is, besides the aforementioned hindrances, above decent. This may not be his best work, but it's good nonetheless.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 4, 2020

While Avengement isn't exactly a classic in any regard, it's a step in the right direction for a new breed of British thumpfests that - if Adkins can wield his sensibilities correctly - may just begin to rival their Eastern origins.

A competent and violent thriller. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 23, 2019

Avengement can rightfully claim to be the hardest hitting British action thriller for years, provided you don't take it too seriously and just enjoy it for what it is - a ridiculously entertaining thrill ride

| Jun 22, 2019

Putting the middle finger to originality, narrative coherence, and deserving humor is Johnson.

| Original Score: 2/10 | May 24, 2019

Imagine 'John Wick' as written by a character in 'Snatch.'

| Original Score: B | May 24, 2019

This is a hard-hitting movie, the kind where the violence is stylized less so that it looks cool and more so that you feel every blow. I got bruises just watching it.

"Avengement" is Adkins-Johnson's best film yet: a clever reinvention of their formula, which puts all the usual bone-crunching into a more mythic context.

If you like watching an endless string of prison brawls and pub fights connected by the thinnest of narrative threads, then you'll be in heaven.

| Original Score: B | May 24, 2019

As Cain's story goes on and on ... we realize just how hollow all of this is.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 24, 2019

Portraying his most complex character to date, Adkins delivers a ferocious turn that proves visceral in its emotional as well as physical intensity.

| May 24, 2019

Adkins is the foundation here, delivering perhaps the best performance of his career.

| Original Score: B | May 23, 2019

As far as action cinema goes, Avengement is an absolute success, and I eagerly await to see what else Johnson has in store for us.

| May 23, 2019

Technically, Adkins isn't flying around as much as Cain but honestly, he's still so fast that you don't really feel Adkins is holding back.

| May 22, 2019

There's really no downside to this continued collaboration and the rate at which it blesses us.

| May 20, 2019

... Avengement is a crackling, bone-crunching crime drama which advocates that action films are best left to the professionals.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 20, 2019

Avengement is... a streamlined monster giving Adkins a ferocious role to sink his teeth into and gnaw on until the bone is showing.
