Revenge Ride

I was frustrated through the whole movie because it seemed as though it was written by someone with a personal vendetta. It didn't seem balanced at all.

If this movie came out in the 80s it might have worked. It was one of those movies you would except to watch on USA Network Up All Night. The only thing good about this movie was the acting. The cast actually gave an honest effort with the script that was provided which wasn't much. It was basically a train wreck with more holes than you can imagine.

Of course a revenge flick I wanted to like, but I couldn't. Pollyanna McIntosh was good, some what, she would be perfect as a biker gang lead at 5'11" and intimidating and she showed character, but she doesn't have a lot here. Serinda Swan was good and truly shines. BUT it made no sense honestly, a biker gang of women against 3 football frat boys, I believe the director tried to make it a commentary on college rape, how so many go unknown and unreported, but does not explain why other than 'nobody will do anything', the gang hates men, but really they don't, but it is not really shown except the end somewhat, the movie really could have used an extra 15-20 minutes, the ending was abrupt, silly and no resolution to everything that just happened. It was a pretty bad movie, even for me and that really is saying something, it had potential but missed.

Blood Ride lasts 69 minutes, excluding the closing credits, and this is one of the longest hours I've ever had. The whole plot is ridiculous, acting is far beyong horrible (the next Razzie Award for worst supporting actress must be presented to Pollyanna McIntosh, once a promising Scottish actress from The Woman and Let Us Prey, who now got stuck in a girl-power pit hole that led her to direct an embarrassing Darlin,) and every single aspect, starting with pedestrian cinematography and finishing with cringy dialogues, falls apart on the screen just to praise the pointless gender war directed by Melanie Aitkenhead.

A freshman girl gets drugged and raped by a trio of one-dimensional hunky football players. Should she call the authorities? Should she visit a doctor that will easily find violence marks and elements in her blood? Hell no! This is the world where no man will ever defend her! She has to speak to her wretched older cousin that will cast a fire on the rapists along with her biker friends and will leave them with severe wounds. Should they call the authorities? Should they visit a doctor that will easily find nasty large burn marks on their skin? Hell no! They have to take revenge for taking revenge on them. Someone gets killed. Authorities? Doctors? Family, at least? You know the answer.

This is what the film is about. This is effortless, lazy, predictable, unintriguing and simply painful to watch. This shouldn't be created in the first place. Yet, we have it. Avoid at all costs.

I mean I've seen a lot of movies in my time and this I can say isn't the worst. Not really good by all means but deserves more then what the rating is. The story just seems super rushed. Good idea but way too rushed without much backstory except a lil bit the main characters fill you in on. Some dialogue is cringy and laughable but the acting isn't the worst. Serinda Swan is good as always but the whole love story between her and Diego Boneta isbeyond unbelievable, unneeded and terrible. Just makes no sense. Chemistry isn't there either. Diego's acting is super bad and the most cringy part. The worst part though is the football players acting. Omg are they terrible and your gonna tell me 3 players go up against an entire female biker gang, yeah no way. The main female lead is ostracized bc the guy who's trying to help them and has done nothing is a man?! I'm even a lesbian and that's just nuts. It was entertaining, watchable, and honestly not too bad if you go in with no expectations but the female actresses definitely are the saving factors.
