Violence (I) (2015) User Reviews

A different kind of thriller but entertained me

[mlongcatch · 9/10 · 29 April 2015]

This was not a bad UK thriller but i did like the end very much. The acting for the most part was good, a few minor actors were just average but the whole film was a good watch.

I would have liked to have seen more rage in the main character but i think they were going for a more tormented character based idea, although a couple of scenes explored his rage with good effect.

Some good locations along with some nice overhead shots of the river Thames and London gave it a good look.

I liked the riot scenes around the evening where the character is losing his grip on reality also.

You could do far worse than this little British flick.

A good execution with solid performances

[Filmman1900 · 9/10 · 31 March 2015]

This had the potential of being fantastic as opposed to being a good solid thriller. Why is that, well firstly i think the character should have gone darker with the Violence although set up nicely in some scenes where your not expecting things to happen I liked that aspect. With a better more experienced director this could have seriously been one of the top UK thrillers in some time, a very good performance from actor Craig Rees who made you believe his issues with dark effect, and to an ending where you will not expect. I also liked the chemistry between the David and Peter characters. For the most part a good thriller with all the right bases covered and some good intense scenes between the main cast to entertain for an hour and a half.

Was never bored

[nickdawson-17508 · 10/10 · 2 August 2015]

This film was quite a good watch i had a chance too see a preview at Cannes and it never bored me. It had a few really cool scenes in where the character releases his tortured mind to escape and do things you would normally never do. But what i liked about it was the fact that you never know if was intentional or just plain psychotic.

The ending was certainly something i was not expecting and i think it worked well. I was expecting a slasher and i am glad it was not that type of film but more of a darker thriller with a hint of 'American psycho in places.

I would check this one out it has a good look and potential for being a cult classic in the near future.

"Great Twist & Turns, Very Imaginative Work"

[scarred69 · 10/10 · 11 December 2015]

This film has more than one twist to it. I absolutely love it when you are getting to that all to familiar point in a movie where you begin to think, "I know what's going to happen," and then suddenly your set back on your ass because it throws you an inside curve ball totally throwing off balance. that' what you find in this film.

The Word going 'round the campfire is, "A new score has been added to the film bringing a n deeper, more intense emotional texture to crucial scenes. I have also heard rumor there are to be some new and re-imagined scenes added to the final rendering of the film. If this is true the re-shooting is supposed to begin some time in December of 2015. The new stuff should add some very interesting suggestive and down right creepy moments to the film with the hope of kicking it all up to a darker level of psychological bête noire. I'm loking forward to seeing the final production when it is wrapped in early January 2016. I have a great feeling that wonderful things are to come with Violence.

An interesting concept.

[Chelseafilmlist · 10/10 · 31 March 2015]

This was actually a movie that surprised me for the better. I was expecting blood and gore but it was more of a thriller set around the mind of a killer with a haunted past. There is blood and nudity but in good taste that fits the characters emotions and past. The ending was really good did not expect to see that. The acting was strong, the production value was good, and liked the development and flashbacks a lot. All in all a tight thriller and it was well paced throughout. The only negative point was the minor actors who did not show up and give a really good performance compared to the lead character and the main cast.

Not bad British thriller that was well done

[england1993 · 10/10 · 4 April 2015]

This film was well paced and had a good tone. The title is appropriate as not all films need blood and gore, although there was enough to warrent the title name. A good performance from the lead actor and supporting cast along with a pretty decent score to match. I have to say I enjoyed the ending very much it really made it a good watch. There were a couple of scenes that were just average but still kept me engaged the whole time, and the riot shots were really cool too along with some great aerial shots.

Good cinematography!! Good score!! Great look!! Good acting!!

Overall a solid watch!!!
