Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Any hope of prestige is dashed by the heavy-handed, clich-ridden direction of former stuntman Johnny Martin and his star's detached portrayal of a guy whose mind is permanently elsewhere. Sep 15, 2017 Full Review Al Hoff Pittsburgh City Paper Vengeance doesn't deliver even the fun of a nutty Cage performance, so viewers are stuck with a predictable plot, terrible dialogue and flat acting. Dec 18, 2017 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue By now, Nicolas Cage can practically sleepwalk through these types of generic vigilante roles. Sep 16, 2017 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com If one is only interested in watching poorly coiffed, dentally challenged fiends receive their just deserts, there are worse options out there, with most of them also starring Nicolas Cage.

Gianvito A It was a good movie, the revenge scenes were amazing Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Demonic S My lord this is a terrible movie. Completely lacks vision or direction. Drags like crazy and goes nowhere. Even Nic Cage and Don Johnson can't save this flaming garbage dump. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Mario V Good story, good acting, liked it alot Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Matt T Predictable as can be. Everything about this movie is well below average... The plot sucks and is predictable. Acting is awful. Dialogue and screenplay feels like it was hackjob by some interns. Don't waste your precious time on this like I did. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review roy h there's not a single aspect of this film that is good. Screenplay, dialogue, music, plot, acting are all appalling. Don't waste your time... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/23 Full Review KK This feels like another one of the Nic Cage movies he HAD to do in order to pay back debt. As difficult as it is to get a movie made, it's unfathomable how this one made it past the pitch - clumsy, acting is cheesy and just bad. I don't even think it made a b grade movie level - Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
