Avengement Reviews
Brutal y llena.de acción, una de las mejores películas de Scott Adkins, después de Boyka está es la mejor
The movie was really good from the second it started it got really into what the film was about, gory and action. It was a movie you can easily follow a lot of back story to it. It intrigues you into it the more it went on, what’s going to happen next? Is he going to get his revenge? The one thing that makes it a 4 star is the fact that they had really only two setting locations to it the prison and a pub most of the film is based in the pub. I was expecting there to be more of a story from when he got out of prison but it went straight to the pub - straight to the point, straight to revenge. I would highly recommend this film still, did not get bored of it at all.
Muito bom, aqueles filme recheado de lutas violentas e sangrentas, bem ao estilo hollywoodiano que amamos, pois as lutas, além de sangue e bem ensaiadas, exercem um contexto poderoso dentro do roteiro, que por sinal, foi curiosamente bem confeccionado com os flashbacks providencias e oportunos detalhando cada um das cicatrizes do protagonista e todo seus ódio e rancor que tiveram como desfecho uma excelente vingança, muito bem produzido e adoravelmente cativante...
In simple words, this movie is so awesome. Highly recommended
For a lack of narrative, the action really pulls through. Incredible cinematography. It’s a must watch.
Scott Adkins is one of the very best western action actors working today, not only is he a strong dramatic actor but his physical skills are extraordinary. If you approach this movie as essentially a brutal rolling brawl punctuated with moments of drama then you won't be at all dissapointed. One of the most vicereal movies I've seen in many a year and as an exercise in sustained violence it's close to being unrivalled in terms of western made cinema. Not a movie for the feint hearted but if you're in the mood for some very full-on, hardcore fighting action then you'll not see much better than this. Adkins is fast becoming one my favourite action actors of recent years.
Classic campy action movie, seriously enjoyed it!
prolly the best scott adkins movie, it actually had pretty good writing and storyline
Ripper of a flick if you're into violence and mayhem. Great action romp.
I've been going on a Scott Adkins/Jesse V. Johnson binge lately, which all got started with the excellent comedy/action film ACCIDENT MAN, and its sequel, and then moved on to TRIPLE THREAT, and the two DEBT COLLECTOR movies. What made those films work so well were terrific fight sequences and a breezy light tone. AVENGEMENT suffered from trying to play it too seriously and not pulling it off. There are still terrific fight scenes, but the film doesn't earn the dramatic impact it's aspiring to. The story has Adkins busting out of prison to get revenge on the person who put a hit out on him while in stir. The film is primarily told in flashbacks to the events building up to Adkins's escape, but this SCUM or BRONSON wannabe is a far cry from being the British gangster film it aspires to. The fight scenes in the film, and there are plenty of them, are still jaw-droopingly brilliant, but the plot, characters, and drama all seem half-baked. Still, the final pub brawl is a real showstopper and absolutely worth watching! Overall, the only reason to watch AVENGEMENT is for the great fight scenes but stick with S. Craig Zahler's far superior BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99 if you want a tough, lean, mean prison brawler flick.
This is a horrible film. Full of nastiness from start to finish. It lacks the tongue in cheek characters of a Snatch and the balletic grace and storytelling of John Wick type films , and is therefore, just plain grotesque. Everyone is an imbecilic git - from villain to police there is no saving grace as they outdo each other to be society's worst effluent. The producer decides to try to save the crassness by outdoing competitors with even more outrageous violence, but fails as it's repetitive and silly. I've tried to rewatch it, as the ratings here have it so high, but found myself even more appalled second time around. Avoid……
REVENGE!!! this movie was definitely worth my time
Ridiculously simple, bone-crunchingly violent. It is gratifying if 90 minutes of British pub fights is up your alley.
About as good as a "B" action film can possibly be. By "B" I mean budget. Adkins shines and proves his acting chops as much as any action star can. If you're looking to be entertained by some action with quality look no further.
A gritty and brutal British revenge film with plenty of attitude and well put together fight scenes. It has a simple plot but it's stylish enough as a celebration of violence, although the noble cause this psychopath picks up in the final act belittles his conviction a bit. Some gore, dark humour, thought-provoking observations and a short run time keep it entertaining throughout.
This is genuinely one of the worst movies ever made, an endless string of poor quality 10v1 brawls and a weak narrative
The story is there, but isnt really that great (or important). What is important, is the awesome action scenes, dry humor and great acting.
Really good. Exceeded expectations
Definitely my favourite Scott Adkins movie so far. Watched it quite a few times now and every time it's very fun. Well done.
I just discovered this director, Jesse V. Johnson and actor Scott Adkins. Wow, this movie along with The Debt Collectors movies are amazing!!! How come I haven't heard of these movies before??? Can't wait to watch Accident Man and Hell Hath No Fury which I just googled. These guys deserve massive credit for some incredible movies that not many have heard of before.
