Amusing and action packed.

Love this film for the stunts, the action and dare I say it even the storyline.
Its probably definitely more of a guy film if there is such a thing, but Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie sold the movie.
James mcavoy did a good job acting the role however his near constant girly screaming through a good portion of the first half really irritated me. I felt that was overdone somewhat.
I did love the revenge scene on his cheating girlfriend and best mate however.

Great revenge action film
This is a very good revenge action film from the director of Saw, spot the Jigsaw face! The story as with a lot of these films is a bit over the top. Kevin Bacon starts as a calm mild mannered white collar worker who suddenly changes into a raw hate filled father after the death of his son. Pretty handy with a range of guns all of a sudden as well. Apart from that the film is great and has plenty of decent action scenes and some great performances from the two lead characters.

A well made and enjoyable to watch revenge action/thriller. The biggest let down really was how far fetched the plot was!! It starts well and has some quite violent scenes for this type of film. It's hard to say who you should be rooting for. At the start you can understand why a man in that position would want his wife and child murderers to suffer......but as he starts to seek revenge on anyone associated with the case, he himself becomes the bad guy. So despite the unbelievable plot it's still an entertaining film.

It's no Gladiator
Well this is billed as this generations Gladiator, sadly not anywhere near that epic. It is hard to think of what to say about it, strange at times, very violent and brutal with a tale of revenge running through its core. Then it takes a slightly different direction and slows the pace considerably as well as looking quite small in scale from what was billed. Definitely falls into the category of the trailer looked better than the film as a whole. Enjoyable still but not the grand revenge film I expected.

Revenge

⭐️⭐️⭐️
He thought he was invincible. He was wrong.
REVENGE by the 'undisputed queen of crime writing' (Guardian) and Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Martina Cole is an unflinching novel that exposes a world that many would rather ignore...
Michael Flynn is untouchable. He's the boss of a dangerous empire, the biggest the criminal world has ever seen. No one crosses him, no one gets in his way, and everyone does what he says - including the law.
But you don't get to where Michael is without making enemies. Someone is out for revenge. And it's best served when least expected.
I liked this but it wasn’t my favourite of hers I found some of it too similar to some of her other stories and yes I know she has a type and way of writing but this wasn’t as good as those she’s written before. Although it was brutal and possibly more so than others.
