Jim Mountford The director, grade f The cinematography grade d+ The story grade b The acting a big fat fThe story was good, my problem is the acting was terrible. It is like, the budget was so low that they had to do everything in no more then two takes. I can only imagine the director, if he was worth anything he must be embarrassed by what he tried to put together, because like I said, I think this was so low budget that he had no choice.The story line was a little confusing, but I managed to get through it only because I pretty much knew what the outcomes would be. very predictable.If I was to teach a movie class, this would be one to show how a good story is made bad with bad acting, bad directing and way under budgeted.

pooletom My girlfriend and I saw this movie at a friend's house. We probably would not have picked this movie out because of the violence, but it was a great movie. To watch the lead demonstrate his ability to show the gamut of emotions was touching to say the least. I want to know more about this story. It would obviously have to be in a prequel. Some of the scenery was gorgeous. What a contrast with the gutsiness of the plot. It moved with great velocity. I would like to see more from these writers. There is a realism that is not often seen in film these days. The twists and turns in the story were so surprising,but seemed to be very sensible once divulged. "Oh yeah, why didn't I see that coming!" it is definitely worth the rent.

jsamesyoung Wow, imagine me going to Blockbuster and going just randomly running into a movie, the movie itself was OK, the acting was good and the storyline is the regular killing up and shootem up Cinemax style movie night movie. The story is about a girl from the rough neighborhood that and the story behind her life and her fathers life who is a killer for hire, but is trying to change what he is doing. All i have to say is there is a standout in the entire move, an actress woman Erlinda Orozco, this woman is just straight up stunning and wow can she act or what, her performance was just a standout performance even though everyone else is good too, can anyone who reads this tell me any info about her. She is gonna be a Superstar i want to find out more.

chuck2000 This review contains some information about the plot, `spoilers'. Because it explores some very strong emotions and the battles with addictions (of all types) many of us face, "Vengeance" is a very intense movie! While this story involves `gangbangers' and drug pushers, the emotion of anger leading to the deep desire to get revenge is an emotion all of us, in all stations of life, must deal with. This movie portrays how futile and destructive vengeance can be.A very strong performance is given by Danny Romo, as Danny Pinero, an assassin who survives a near fatal shooting. Having experienced a `near death' experience, Danny turns to Christian religious conversion and completely kicks his drug habit. However, he still is driven to vengeance when his beloved daughter, Danielle, played by Erlinda Orozco, is murdered by her abusive boyfriend, Alexandro, menacingly well portrayed by Lorenzo De La Cruz. Raul Julia, Jr. plays Detective Marin, who is instrumental in Danny's recovery from drug addiction. I look forward to seeing this movie again when it comes out in video. Watch for the cute female paramedic, played by Paras Alexandria.
