Kat Halstead Common Sense Media There's plenty of well-choreographed violence and decent performances all round, but little else to set this apart from other films in the genre. Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) V stands for 'vigilante' and also 'vacuous' in this woefully inept sex trafficking child abuse drama which is ultimately so foolish it becomes uncomfortable to behold. Rated: .5/5 Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review A predictable revenge thriller that wildly suffers from an incoherent script and subtle-free acting, violently barrelling its way towards an absurd final act that’s practically comical in its execution. Rated: 1.5/5 Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue At least the title accurately describes the protagonist in this otherwise predictable vigilante thriller. Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Gary M. Kramer MovieJawn Mulroney is the key reason to see Ruthless because he plays Harry with grit and a scrappy determination that belies his characters’ polite demeanor.... Ruthless is enjoyable for folks who want a low-rent version of Nobody. Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Joseph Robinson Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Vigilante action film or family comedy? I don't know, but Ruthless shines as an example of horrible writing and acting. Rated: 0.5/5 Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Doris Jones L This satisfying film gives a big high five to the core of many of us that wish we could really do what needs to be done; consequences be d£**ed. “This guy”… Dermot… absolutely should have been an action star all along. The best kind too.. an actor with the physical presence of an impervious bull combined with his expertise in dramatic expression. Coach is the kind of Father all girls would love to have and the man we’re all conceiving in our hearts when we want to really feel safe. I would watch more movies with this character and Dermot’s excellent delivery; this would also be stellar as a series! A+ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Jeffrey P It’s as if someone got an idea for a Lifetime movie, did a buncha drugs and watched Taken, and then wrote the script. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review CAD C Decent movie …. Not great but not bad …. Average with a few twists … held my attention but campy at times ….. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review A R A poor man’s version of Taken, as we have seen done a number of different ways, but it isn’t bad. Some of the action is good, the acting from Dermot M is solid/good. He does carry the film at times. Some of the dialogue is a bit second rate, indicating it would have done with better editing, but overall this a fair Sunday afternoon movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Audience Member Wow the writing must have been done by a 12 year old. So bad couldn’t finish watching it Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Josh B Was this script written with AI? It’s gibberish. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
