Vendetta

A violent, driven revenge movie loosely derived from all the other revenge movies. Tired trope after copycat cliché, this is a stereotypical story with few redeeming features. Formulaic recipe, sprinkle a few known names, albeit past their sell-by-date, cook up a random murder and garnish with carnage.

This is so poor, with diabolical dialogue, a ponderous, predictable plot and epilepsy-inducing camera work. This is all overlaid with an annoyingly intrusive soundtrack.

Terrible movie, not worth the required time investment.

This is basically just a rip off of James Wan's death sentence. Death sentence is wayyyy better, if you haven't seen it skip this and just watch death sentence.

If you dont laugh at least 3 times I'd be shocked. This has to be a joke.

The dialog had to be written by a child.

Who would make this movie?

Perhaps some favors were cashed in.

At this point I believe Bruce Willis is taking roles that Nic Cage knew were really bad.

I actually like the main actor. Not sure if I remember him from other movies.

Tysons cameo was good but it was what it was.

Maybe an AI Computer spit this out because there is NOTHING WHATSOEVER original in this film other than the bad dialog. Maybe it's a throwback to cheesy 90s movies? You knew what was going to happen from start to middle to end.

I actually recommend you watch this because you will NOT believe how bad the dialog is. Seriously.

I believe this is Bruce Willis final film, like many others I've watched his recent glut of films over the last eighteen months literally stunned at how bad most of them are with only a couple barely ok. For what it's worth this is probably one of the better ones but it still has a lot of problems. Here we see Willis, along with Thomas Jane relegated to the role of interesting background character, both do a relatively ok job considering what they have to work with. The plot itself is a rehash of other revenge type films where a lead has a loved one killed them sets out to take revenge on a criminal organisation. Oh and said lead just happens to be a well trained military person.

The problem here is there are huge plot holes everywhere, it literally takes place in small town America in place which is very clean and clearly affluent yet we are led to believe there are armed gangs of drug dealers running around. This same gang require new members to kill innocents as part of their initiation too, yet whilst doing this there are zero people around in the middle of the day on the main high street? Seriously thought this up? Then we learn the local cops (all four of them) know they are selling drugs but turn a blind eye, yet they leave a protection duty because a kid throws something at their patrol car. This is where what could be a relatively fun revenge movie packed with a number of recognisable faces falls very flat. It's probably just about watchable if you want to see every Willis movie but the plot holes need some excusing.

Literally - the script is unbelievably stupid, filled with illogical actions and idiotic characters. I couldn't even comprehend how a screenplay this bad could get past the usual phalanx of development execs, producers, agents, actors and at least one director a script usually needs to please to get made. Then I checked the credits and discovered that the writer was also the director and he cranks out half-a-dozen of these crapfests every year - a bad case of cinematic diarrhea.

So I guess he doesn't have time to watch Cops or otherwise figure out how police operate in the real world or how real gangsters handle their business.

Nothing in this movie rings true. It's just a series of dumb and dumber scenes designed to accommodate a bunch of gunfire and martial arts shenanigans.

To be fair, the film looks pretty good. The cinematography is very nice and the actors give it their all. Unfortunately, for many - including the bigger name actors in this mess - that amounts to the level of thespianism usually reached by stunt men cast to pad the ranks of the bad guys in B movies. Stiff, shallow, overwrought characterizations.

Bad acting, a ridiculous script with not a drop of suspense or a single character you care about. Braindead fun for the feeble-minded.
