When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I had mixed thoughts before watching this film after reading negative reviews, I have to say this movie turned out to be pretty decent. Antonio has made a comeback with an action film. A decent story line that keeps you watching. If you fancy something different other that watching your fav film over again, then watch this. Not bad at all.

Not sure why I see a lot of negativity concerning this movie. I found it very interesting and I liked the action. Yeah, I could have done without the "silent" aspect of it, and a few oddities (Urban's character talking & helping the man he hates) but overall the action was good and a decent story. To give you an idea, I was already checking if there was going to be a "Acts Of Vengeance 2". To me Banderas should do another, they story can already be laid out with the ending of this movie, and make the movie that much better. Hey there is a John Wick 2 (and 3) and an Equalizer 2, why not a AOV2 :-)

I just wish I could have the hour-and-a-half of my life back which I wasted watching this. From Banderas's dreadful, ham acting to the amazingly un-American-looking (Bulgarian) sets, from the predictable, cliche-ridden plot to a cast of what look like half-hearted amateurs, I just can't believe I didn't give up half-way through. I think perhaps it was disbelief which forced me to watch till the bitter end. Previously, I'd only seen Banderas in subtitled Spanish films, so I'd never quite realised just how bad he was. I'd say more, but you need to see it for yourself. Can't believe the other positive reviews.

ACTS OF VENGEANCE is another sterling B-movie thriller from director Isaac Florentine, who is one of my favourites working in today's cinema. Given that this was made on a strict budget in Bulgaria standing in for New York, it's actually very good. Florentine cut his teeth making fine action flicks with the great Scott Adkins, and he retains the action template here while casting Antonio Banderas as the lead instead. The story is nothing special and about a guy hunting for his family's killer, but I liked the mystery aspects of the narrative and the protagonist's character arc from ruthless lawyer to crime-fighting vigilante. Banderas gives a very good performance, he's better than he was in SECURITY, and he convinces in the action too. There aren't quite as many fights as I was hoping for, but those that do take place are excellent and have splendid choreography, as you'd expect. Karl Urban is a welcome presence in the cast to boot. Think of this as a poor man's JOHN WICK if you will, but that doesn't make it any the less entertaining.
