Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Andrew Mernagh I have been a Danny Dyer fan for some years, I always felt he had the ability and potential to be a solid British actor. He simply wasn't getting or choosing the right projects to showcase those skills. We could blame his agent, financial needs or Danny himself? Whatever the reasons he got it right here and finally was able to show off a little as to what he could do. Thye story is simple, straightforward revenge thriller similar to Taken, I AM Wrath etc.. but on a far more gruesome level. Stephen Reynolds is another British writer/director with potential. The budget was apparently non-existent but that does not show here when you watch the action unfold before you. Dyers dark and gritty performance shine on screen and when it's all over I was ready for more. This film is seeking Oscars or trying to solve the world's problems. It simply a straight forward gory revenge thriller that has sadly been underrated Sadly the sequel is looking less likely with Dyer gone into the world of brain dead soaps and Reynolds working in the US for WEE Studios. But if does come about I will be there

Prismark10 Vendetta is a low budget revenge flick from writer-director Stephen Reynolds. I have no idea about Mr Reynolds politics but after watching this film I can safely say that this is wet dream if you are a supporter of UKIP, British National Party or the English Defence League. The ones where certain people will say, look this is what Britain is actually like and its because of the foreigners.Vendetta by the way does not have one sympathetic Asian or Black character. A black army personnel (played by the stunt co-ordinator) does turn up in the middle and immediately beats up some police officers.So a taxi driver stops to help out a lady being attacked and for his troubles gets arrested. The person he killed is the brother of a notorious gangster and gets no police protection and after he and his wife have been brutally killed the police or at a loss as to who the suspects could be.Its left to their son (Danny Dyer) a special black ops expert to exact revenge which he does in a manner of other pictures such as The Hitcher.Vincent Regan turns up as Danny Dyer's superior officer and I can only hope that after spewing such cringeworthy lines Mr Regan (a respected veteran actor) cleaned his mouth out with bleach and counted the cash he got for the role.This is a world where the police are inept, corrupt and go out of their way to protect the guilty and terrorise the innocent. Only Dyer is willing to stand up to the bad guys and he is not that great as he lets one of them get away with disastrous consequences.Dyer who has shown as in his recent stint in Eastenders that he can act is not someone who convinces me that he is a hard-man actor like Vinnie Jones. He is not even that muscular but he does his best with a limited script in this truly horrible film.

Leofwine_draca VENDETTA is a British vigilante movie in which an ordinary guy is pushed to the edge by the brutal murder of his parents. The film stars an older, wiser Danny Dyer as the chief character, a man who spares no expense in the way he tracks down and dispatches those responsible for the terrible crime.At the outset, I was pleasantly surprised by VENDETTA. It bears some strong cinematography and good production values for a low budget British genre movie; director Stephen Reynolds is particularly to be commended for making this look like it stands up against the best Hollywood has to offer. And the first half hour tells an intense, dramatic story via decent editing and well thought-out scenes.It's a pity, then, that the film can't sustain this calibre of writing, because it starts to go downhill soon afterwards. The issue is the plot, which doesn't really go anywhere as the narrative progresses. It becomes repetitive and vague, with too much time given to inconsequential characters and their actions, like Dyer's military superior and the efforts of some shady government types to track him down. All of this stuff is unnecessary and detracts from the story.Still, the producers deserve credit for eliciting a decent performance from Dyer, and some of the supporting roles are nicely filled. Roxanne McKee continues with the potential she showed in A GAME OF THRONES, and it's always fun to see Bruce Payne even though he only appears in a cameo here. Watch out for KNIGHTMARE star Hugo Myatt in a bit part, and Vincent Regan as a military type. The violence is strong and the story gutsy, lifting this head and shoulders above the comparable likes of Nick Love's OUTLAW.

davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday MorningJimmy Vickers (Danny Dyer) is a soldier who's returned home to find an even more fierce battlefield in his own country. His parents have been viciously murdered in retaliation after his dad intervened while a young woman was being car jacked, killing the brother of a gang leader in the process. Vickers systematically hunts the perpetrators down, all the while trying to stay one step ahead of the police, those closest to him and his commanders from his old battalion who know just what a psychologically damaged loose cannon he is.If our films serve as a sample of our culture to those on the foreign markets, what must the impression be of us as a nation in the eyes of everyone else at the moment? What kind of blood crazy, psychopathic, sub human degenerates must we be coming across as at the moment, when the sadistic, blood splattered violence on display in the likes of Vendetta and other films like it, is what they see? The sort of demented lack of regard for human life and suffering that Quentin Tarantino might be able to make something of, and would make L.A. gang members wince. Well, Dyer's lead character seems to offer some kind of clarification for all the blood letting in one of the films more deeper interludes, when he states how the 2011 riots were just the tip of the iceberg and the existence of a new breed of lawless hooligans has emerged that can only be dealt with by getting a taste of their own medicine, hinting at a social conscience lurking beneath the surface, with a little dash of equally social insight to guide it along.The big problem here is what should serve as a simple, straight forward revenge thriller tries to become more intricate and multi-layered, when the sub plot emerges of Dyer's former commanders trying to reel him back in and get him under control, causing the film to lose it's sense of pace and veer wildly off course, meaning by the end it all feels a lot longer than it has been. The script is compounded by a lot of overly laborious dialogue that serves as an even sloppier attempt to add some depth, and an interesting supporting cast including Roxanne McKee, Vincent Regan, Bruce Payne and Ricci Harnett can't do as much as they could.Mainly, it's just a big tasteless, gratuitous exploitation film which, despite a dynamic set up and slick production values, fails to make a really lasting impression. **
