Ensemble cast (1 more)
Plenty of action scenes
Tons of action
A decent revenge action type of film. It's doesn't beat around the bush, it's quite brutal at times, throw in some fast cars, a quirky hitman, a downbeat cop, you know what to expect from this and it delivers it. It has quite a good supporting cast with a fair few familiar faces, plenty of shoot-outs, fights and the odd car chase or two. A very enjoyable film for your action needs.

Great cinematography (1 more)
Awesome shoot outs
A very stylish action packed film
A very good old fashioned action film. Simple plot with a former hitman coming out of retirement on a quest for revenge. This doesn't try to be anything it's not, just action packed with crazy fight and shoot out scenes. The difference is that you can see the attention to detail in every scene. From the lighting, camera angles and fight choreography the film has a very slick visual style to it.

Mar 4, 2019
Artemis goes on one last sneaky excursion after getting his father back but a world of things go wrong including his bodyguard getting shot. I couldn't believe the quick thinking Artemis took to save his friend and how he got revenge on those who wronged him. Maybe he'll think better than to make something as powerful as the eternity code in combination with technology that's ahead of the Mud people's time in the future. The 3rd book was definitely action packed.

Clever Bank Heist Movie
Contains spoilers, click to show
When seemingly random Banks get robbed the only link is the head of the Banking corporation (Willis). As more robberies are done and targeted individuals killed at each scene it seems that there is a hidden agenda and someone will stop at nothing to get revenge. A cop whose wife is seriously ill and has his own motives for solving the case is assigned to finding out the reason behind the robberies and killings.
David McK (3369 KP) rated Revenge (Roman Arena, #4) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The fourth (of five) entries in Simon Scarrow's 'Arena' e-book exclusive series, this one starts with both Macro and Pavo being forced to participate in a beast fight in the Roman Arena
Unlike the previous entries (most of which followed the same format, ending with a gladiatorial bout), the majority of this one is set in and around the circus itself, and also ends with Pavo moving closer to his ultimate goal of gaining revenge for the death of his father.

Wow
What a surprisingly fantastic movie. The cast performed great and the cinematography was beautifully done. The story was unique and twisted and captivating. The "backtracking " sequences were masterful. So many twists and turns(some expected, most not) that kept my attention throughout the entire film. While it had some disturbing visuals and somewhat grotesque scenes this horror film was definitely more psychological than anything. Quite the revenge story! Be warned, this one isn't for kids! REALLY worth a watch!!
Dean (6925 KP) rated Death Wish (2018) in Movies
Jan 20, 2019
This is a decent enough revenge action film. It's not really a remake as such as the story is different to the old Death wish film. There's a bit of a gore, expected as Eli Roth is the director. The story is good and the violent encounters feel raw and not glamourised. A entertaining film but if you fancy something more indepth try @The Brave One (2007) or @Death Sentence (2007) both slightly better I felt.
