I watched Avenged on a DVD with very low hopes considering the reviews on IMDb. I usually do not watch trailers or read long summaries of the plot to avoid spoilers as much as possible. I must say that my strategy paid off quite well because I was not expecting the movie to go where it went. Like any other average horror/thriller movie, you'll find many factual errors but that is acceptable in this genre. My biggest problem with this movie was acting. Sister of the main character was by far the worst actress even though she appeared for mere 2 minutes in the movie, followed by the absolutely useless and unmanly boyfriend. Admittedly, most of the blame for his bad role goes to the writing department because his character could not decide his personality but this doesn't mean that he could act. The lead in the movie was quite good. She does her role some justice.

I recommend it on DVD if you don't have anything great to watch.

I was about to write a detailed review on this but Matt-441 said it all... i totally agree with him.... with no super-duper stars, this movie really hits the very best of Genre in recent times... Me, i like movies where i can go inside the screen and be in the movie. I didn't move an inch watching this one...

Script was well written, acting was way above average.. sound effects are key to the sniper movies, sound rocked in this movie!!!... what else?? scenery... it is based in Africa so what not to expect? beautiful views of jungle, Elephants, Rhinos, Giraffes etc... it is worth watching in short...
