What to Know

Critics Consensus

Avengement compensates for a lack of narrative originality with thrilling sequences of violent, bone-crunching action, elevated by Scott Adkins' brutally intense performance.

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times "Avengement" is Adkins-Johnson's best film yet: a clever reinvention of their formula, which puts all the usual bone-crunching into a more mythic context. May 24, 2019 Full Review Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly If you like watching an endless string of prison brawls and pub fights connected by the thinnest of narrative threads, then you'll be in heaven. Rated: B May 24, 2019 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Portraying his most complex character to date, Adkins delivers a ferocious turn that proves visceral in its emotional as well as physical intensity. May 24, 2019 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See This is a gritty, mean, down and dirty crime story about gritty, mean, down and dirty criminals. It's also Johnson and Adkins' most ambitious film to date, as well as maybe their best. Rated: A Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed As usual, Adkins' fighting is great and his acting is, besides the aforementioned hindrances, above decent. This may not be his best work, but it's good nonetheless. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 4, 2020 Full Review Luke Whiston TheShiznit.co.uk While Avengement isn't exactly a classic in any regard, it's a step in the right direction for a new breed of British thumpfests that - if Adkins can wield his sensibilities correctly - may just begin to rival their Eastern origins.

Katie U The movie was really good from the second it started it got really into what the film was about, gory and action. It was a movie you can easily follow a lot of back story to it. It intrigues you into it the more it went on, what’s going to happen next? Is he going to get his revenge? The one thing that makes it a 4 star is the fact that they had really only two setting locations to it the prison and a pub most of the film is based in the pub. I was expecting there to be more of a story from when he got out of prison but it went straight to the pub - straight to the point, straight to revenge. I would highly recommend this film still, did not get bored of it at all. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Rosana B Muito bom, aqueles filme recheado de lutas violentas e sangrentas, bem ao estilo hollywoodiano que amamos, pois as lutas, além de sangue e bem ensaiadas, exercem um contexto poderoso dentro do roteiro, que por sinal, foi curiosamente bem confeccionado com os flashbacks providencias e oportunos detalhando cada um das cicatrizes do protagonista e todo seus ódio e rancor que tiveram como desfecho uma excelente vingança, muito bem produzido e adoravelmente cativante... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Gero C In simple words, this movie is so awesome. Highly recommended Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Nathaniel B For a lack of narrative, the action really pulls through. Incredible cinematography. It’s a must watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review David W Scott Adkins is one of the very best western action actors working today, not only is he a strong dramatic actor but his physical skills are extraordinary. If you approach this movie as essentially a brutal rolling brawl punctuated with moments of drama then you won't be at all dissapointed. One of the most vicereal movies I've seen in many a year and as an exercise in sustained violence it's close to being unrivalled in terms of western made cinema. Not a movie for the feint hearted but if you're in the mood for some very full-on, hardcore fighting action then you'll not see much better than this. Adkins is fast becoming one my favourite action actors of recent years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Nakirie R Classic campy action movie, seriously enjoyed it!
