The Exterminator: Don Teschio's Revenge

A surprisingly solid film. I liked the movie a lot more than I thought I would.

The film is violent and tense at times, and the acting is quite good. The direction is good, although the choice of music is a little unusual, but it could have been worse.

I never saw the first one, but now it´s on my list.

The old revenge formulae are all in place, as they are with an infinity of movies, we see the exterminator on a quest for revenge against a gangster that terrorizes the city, with his goons and military army.

We see the exterminator in a quarry taking them down, and in an abandoned buildings were the final fight takes place.

I dig this a lot.

This follows the same path, of a man pushed over the edge by some ruthless crime lord and his goons, the pacing and well-staged chase sequences are spot on and the film has a vibe of realism which makes it more than viewable. It also concentrates too much on the violence displayed on screen than anything else, there´s torture, executions and shooting mayhem.

Although the plot will be largely familiar to anybody who has ever seen a 'vigilante' movie, the story keeps on moving and is careful to stick with characterisation at the expense of action, turning it into something more than another blood-and-bullets high-octane thriller.

Do you remember when movies were made just to be movies, and not to push political agendas? Do you remember when movies where meant to be fun, and not lessons? Do you remember when action movies had a semblance of depth and were not just reliant on CGI?

And so do the makers of The Exterminator franchise, so these movies are pure gold in a short format.

Just good solid action movies that took the time to build character and create interesting stories. The Exterminator Don Teschio´s Revenge is not 2 hours of people getting their head blown off but there´s a lot of killing.

I was pleasantly surprised at how patient the film is, how it builds its story to what I found to be a gripping end.

But it´s just the end of this movie not the franchise, that after credits scenes was intense.

And Don Teschio's Revenge is finally here! And it packs a punch! Action filled from start to end!

The Exterminator continues to wipe out Don Teschio's operations and men until a new player is called into the field!

We finally have a debut of Skeleton (Esqueleto from the series 'A Última Presa' by Constantino as well) and he does what he is hired to do with a very big bang and panache!

Miguel D. Dias brings both Don Teschio and Skeleton to live in his very own way and it is amazing to watch him interact with himself!

Congrats to team Constantino and team Last Road Studios for yet another awesome film!

This is trashy, energetic, empty-headed action picture that keeps you entertained without ever engaging your intellect.

The exterminator gets back to the streets to take care of the mob.

The violence is not gratuitous, but there's enough of it to keep blood-addicted viewers happy. The action is pretty good.

However, when the mayhem is on the screen, the film comes into its own and contains some explosive scenes.

The cast do a good job and the soundtrack was awesome with some vibes to some 80´s music.

The effects are cool, and the job done here is good.

It's recommended for the weekend. 7 out of 10 stars.
