Dermot Mulroney is the one & ONLY good thing about this movie. The writing & the other actors suck! BAD! The Mother, the teenager, the cop, the bad guys are laughable...just Terrible! Especially the mother, who is more worried about why the coach is helping than where her daughter is. And a cop who takes a family member on a case with him. Its just too much to stay invested. Was there even a director on set? Was he 12? And how it all comes full circle is just too much to handle. They must've paid Mulroney well to do this stinker. Reminds me of Nic Cages tax money movies.

Dermott Mulroney is the only reason to watch this ripoff of the movie Taken. Melissa Diaz is absolutely terrible in the role of the kidnapped teenager. Almost any other movie is a better choice.

Every once in a while there's a movie that's directed so badly that you have to wonder if the director actually goes outside. It would be believable if they never do, and instead have learned everything they know about human behavior from watching B movies. Don't get me wrong, the acting was terrible too. All in, this is a grade A stinker.

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.

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

At least the title accurately describes the protagonist in this otherwise predictable vigilante thriller.

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.

Vigilante action film or family comedy? I don't know, but Ruthless shines as an example of horrible writing and acting.

Camacho fumbles most of “Ruthless,” keeping the picture stiff and unconvincing when it comes to situations of aggression, pushing the effort to self-parody as overacting takes control of the viewing experience.
