Vendetta

But for Jared Cohn, an experienced writer and director to give us this nonsense, is inexcusable. The writing was worse than a 5th grade drama class would present. This was such a plot-hole riddled lazily written bag full of cliches, it was cringe. Then he had his actors pretty much acting like clowns, I couldn't take Mr. Smiley and Pipe Smoker seriously. It's a shame, because this had potential and could've easily worked in the hands of any other capable filmmaker, especially considering the decent casting. It's a generous 4/10 from me.

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.

The plot itself is interesting, but messily executed. Performances are okay, but the dialogue felt as if a 10 year old wrote it. Everyone seemingly had the worst aim in existence when shooting their never ending supply of bullets at each other. Mike Tyson is in two scenes, one completely random scene which isn't needed, and in the final scene where he says a cheesy one liner.

In this movie, former U. S. Marine William Duncan (Clive Standen) strikes back at the thugs who murdered his daughter and therefore provoking a cycle of violence. A revenge movie in which Bruce Willis (Donnie Fetter) plays (again) a crime boss who orders his loose-cannon son Theo Rossi (Rory) to clean up the mess. Another boring Bruce Willis movie, whose unfocussed and empty performance is really hard to watch after the news of his Aphasia diagnosis. Bruce spends most of his scenes sitting behind a desk and you can see he is struggling with his dialogue. Heart-breaking! The good news is we have Thomas Jane playing an arms dealer and Mike Tyson playing the leader of a gang and dealing stolen cars. If you like to see Thomas Jane (and he is really outperforming here) smoking a pipe and always drinking a bottle of beer, this movie is for you. Mike´s role was very small but he passed with flying colours!

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.
