Oren B @iAmOren Feb 18 Bad, dumb, and nothing to do with vengeance. Waste of time. If you like rebound and fast fitness and Banderas - watch to pass the time. Otherwise, pick your nose or watch paint dry. See more white W. @whitewineaux Jan 31 TERRIBLE “acting”!!! See more Marco L @decatur555 May 9 (CASTELLANO) Acts of Vengeance es una de esas películas que se ven sin esfuerzo... pero también se olvidan igual de rápido. Antonio Banderas intenta darle algo de empaque a su personaje, pero ni su carisma habitual logra levantar un guion que parece escrito en piloto automático. La premisa de la venganza silenciosa y estoica podría haber sido interesante si la dirección hubiera tenido algo más de pulso o personalidad. La acción cumple sin más, pero nunca llega a ser emocionante de verdad, y las escenas que deberían impactar se sienten rutinarias. Lo de meter a Marco Aurelio como excusa filosófica suena muy bien en teoría, pero en la práctica parece más una pose que algo que realmente aporte profundidad. Y Paz Vega… bueno, sinceramente, su personaje no pinta absolutamente nada en la historia. Está ahí porque alguien pensó que debía haber un personaje femenino, y poco más. En resumen, un thriller de venganza de bajo presupuesto que puede entretenerte si no tienes muchas expectativas, pero que deja la sensación de que Banderas merecía algo bastante mejor. (ENGLISH) Acts of Vengeance is one of those movies you can watch without much effort... and forget just as quickly. Antonio Banderas tries to bring some weight to his character, but not even his usual charm can save a script that feels like it was written on autopilot. The idea of a silent, stoic revenge could have been interesting if the direction had shown a bit more personality or energy. The action scenes are serviceable at best, but they never really become exciting, and the moments that should hit hard just feel routine. Throwing in Marcus Aurelius as a philosophical excuse sounds good on paper, but in practice it feels more like a gimmick than something that adds real depth. And Paz Vega... honestly, her character has absolutely no purpose in the story. She's there because someone thought the movie needed a female character, and that's about it. In short, this is a low-budget revenge thriller that might entertain you if you keep your expectations very low, but it definitely leaves you thinking Banderas deserved something way better.
