    One action scene after another

    The film was perfectly summarized by The Hollywood Reporter which said "the sort of B-movie violent actioner that makes you feel your testosterone level rising as you watch it". The film had a minimal plot which was used as a glue connecting all the fight scenes. For the most part, it was one action scene after another, and they were good. I felt like they were well-made and tense enough to be on the entertaining side.

    I was surprised though to see The Soska Sisters making a film outside of horror. I generally think they succeeded at their first attempt. I recommend the film for those seeking a mindless and violent action film, and less for those seeking any meaningful story.

    Surprisingly good

    The story was formulaic and we have seen it all before. But Dean Cain and Big Show give outstanding performances both. The violence is graphic and at one point Dean was showing that he had the chops to play Batman in another life!

    This film does not shy away from the blood and violence. There is very little bad language in it though, if any.

    One has to suspend belief a lot though. How Big Show's character can do what he does and how the number of murders goes unnoticed, got stupid. When people are being killed who are not even inmates, the rest of the police should have been investigating. Why a cop was put in general population is another mystery.

    My score of 7 is probably higher than the story deserves, but Dean Cain's performance earns it an extra two points and made this a very enjoyable watch.

    'Vendetta' is a pleasingly old-school head-knocker!

    Any steel-thewed cop vs. Elephantine goon actioner including the trusty workhorse line: 'You should have killed me when you had the chance!' has the potential to be an enjoyably thick-eared DTV time-waster, and happily we soon thug-deep in Seagal/JCVD wronged cop turning super wrong-headed jailbird with brooding Det. Danvers (Dean Cain) ferociously going head to pectorals with towering, roid-raging rapscallion Victor Abott (Paul 'The Big Show' Wight') in the Soska Sisters pleasingly old-school head-knocker 'Vendetta', with its myriad knuckle-dragging, jaw-busting fights culminating orgiastically in one bodaciously bloody, free-for-all prison yard riot! The stone-faced anti-hero Cain is wickedly vengeful as the single-minded, spike-fisted, increasingly sociopathic skell slayer and his towering, Tor Johnson-sized, permanently perspiring nemesis power-grunts his expletive monosyllables with a useful Baritone belligerence. 'Vendetta' is so deliciously 90s the glaring omission of a Hed PE track over one of the gore-slathered Laundry room is an almost unforgivable faux pas! The far from static film has a comfortably familiar aspect and the adrenalized fisticuffs, while not always perfectly executed are reliably plentiful, frequently grisly and should keep any shank-happy fight-freaks distracted until the next Scott Adkins beat-down epic comes out. I went into this with ZERO expectations and happily exited entertained and sometimes that's all I really want from a bruisingly bellicose, gang-banging, plasma-drenched B-movie.

    Big show?

    Well maybe for some, but I reckon most will not consider the movie itself a big show ... now obviously I'm having some fun with ... wordplay. Paul Wight also known to many as the Big Show in the WWE is one of the main characters at hand here.

    The movie itself is nothing you won't expect from an action thriller of its kind. I can only imagine that the Soskas (twin directing sisters) did this for the money, not because they had the idea to do a movie like that. Having said that, I reckon it can be fun to direct something like this. Not having to wonder too much what to do or where to go. The movie practically writes itself.

    Not trying to put it down, some will have more fun with this than others of course. And putting TV Clark Kent in here might help too. I've seen him act in other independent productions, so when it is needed he is up to the task. Do not judge him from this one effort here. He can only do so much with the material he is given (as I noted with the directors too - and can be generally applied to this)

    If you like WWE you will like this.

    I haven't watched pro/fake wrestling since I was a child, so this movie was blah at best. It was completely unbelievable in almost every aspect.

    I must say that Dean Cain actually did a good job acting though. Too bad there was nothing else worthy. This review requires no spoiler alert because you already know everything that is going to happen :]

    If you like to make a drinking game out of scrutinizing movies for their errors, make sure you have plenty to drink! But watch out because there are actually some very gory scenes for a B action movie.

    I did give it a 5 because it was kind of entertaining - I didn't feel the need to stop watching. To sum it up... If you really like WWE you will really like this. You'll probably like it if your IQ is below 100 as well.

    • Trivia
      The tagline is an obvious reference to the "Hell in a Cell" match from WWE, where star Paul Wight worked at the time under the name The Big Show.
    • Goofs
      Although it is stated that the warden has specifically ordered for Danvers not to be killed, the first attack on Danvers in prison is clearly an attempted murder.
