Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D Mar 27, 2012 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Positively one of the worst movies ever made, though Stowe is, as always, luminously lovely. Rated: 0/5 Jun 19, 2003 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It combines the slick, high-tension filmmaking fashion of today with the values and sexual stereotyping of yesterday. It's such a good job of salesmanship that you have to stop and remind yourself you don't want any. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Terry Francis Southern Voice (Atlanta) Because the film is so ludicrously bad -- the writing, photography and acting all superbly overblown -- Revenge is enjoyable in a heated-up, sick kind of way. It's self-satire without meaning to be. Rated: 1/4 May 9, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Revenge is very bad, but in-between kicks and hemorrhages, there is an involuntary sense of community. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 15, 2022 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a rare out-and-out misfire from an otherwise reliable filmmaker. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 20, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Jelisije J This is hands down the worst Kevin Costner film. A former pilot vacations with his friend who is a criminal cartel or mafia boss and he decides to sleep with his friend wife........predictable overly long and a complete waste of everyone talent throughout this movie run time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review erroll f I have to disagree with any of the critics because I found this Tony Scott film be very watchable.. Costner did an excellent of Tom Cruise Maverick, which was a big hit for Tony Scott a few years prior. Then there’s Anthony Quinn, who actually morphed into his role as Zorba the Greek for a few minutes.. there are many dark moments that counter the romance, especially what happens at the end . Very watchable film it was made in 1990. Unfortunately the Director Tony Scott took his own life many years later. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Laurian D I'm not a fan of Tarantino, but he's right when he calls this one Tony Scott's masterpiece. It may have plenty of imperfections, but overall it manages to deliver an unforgettable gut punch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Doug H It's worth watching only as a source of bewilderment over how such an awful movie ever got made, especially with such a luminary cast. From the first scenes featuring what look like leftover footage from Scott's "Top Gun" to the last fade-to-nothing, it's a bundle of cliches. More interesting would be a collection of outtakes of the actors trying to keep a straight face while speaking 10th grade dialogue. (No offense to 10th graders intended.) Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Shay W Perhaps it should be classified as a horror. What happens to the female lead is too terrible. What is point of giving her such a nightmarish fate. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Steve D Laughably bleak and uninterested in doing anything but depress. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
