Maybe the weakest in the revenge trilogy, guess the characters aren't so likeable, but there are still a lot of awesome scenes.
Like the others in the trilogy, haunting, well made, and really sticks with you after watching
Slow burning taut thriller for three quarters, the just a violent explosion commenting on how violence begats violence.
weakest of the trilogy but still a good movie in many aspects
The Vengeance Trilogy commences with one of the most human approaches to revenge you'll see. Perhaps the weakest of the three, but electric.
Probably one of the most human reactions is to want vengeance when wronged. Wow this movie has it by the bucket load. Loved it!
Cold? Hot? The "best by" date on revenge is a little hard to read.
Might be my favorite of the vengeance trilogy. Beautiful cinematography, gripping and emotional story, and great performances from everyone.
The spiral of things that happen, one after another is insane!
Excellent, thrilling drama movie, one of Parks best movies. Violent but thrilling
