Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

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.

A amateurish, pathetic and depressing melodramatic gangster "woe is me, I've killed tons of people without thinking and just got shot and now I'm sad"-tale To be honest I couldn't even finish this dreadful piece of crap and poor excuse of a movieFurthergoing with my honesty to call this a piece of crap is disrespectful to piece of craps in general this piece of crap is a whole new level of crappinessIf a man ate a hundred nachos and drank 4 gallons of Magarita and he farted, those farts would create a cloud that would resemble this movieLacking any kind of talent behind and in front of the camera it's fairly obvious that the positive +50 ratings are made by people who were apart or know someone who were apart of the making of this movie

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.

This is a story about the struggle of a man to let good prevail over the evil in his life.Without giving away the story, here are a few observations of "Vengeance" from my viewpoint.The cast was terrific. Danny Romo (the main character) is excellent. He plays a wide range of emotions in the film. From the worst bad guy to a caring father. He makes the transitions from bad guy to good guy believable. He connects well with all of the characters especially his daughter in the film, Erlinda Orozco. Raul Julia, Jr and Damon Whitaker also are very convincing in their roles.One of the best scenes is when Romo learns of some tragic news. He is very believable with his emotions.What makes a movie good for me is if it can "jump" from the screen and capture my attention.One thing that has always annoyed me about some film critics is they forget to ask the most vital question, was the film entertaining."Vengeance" was very entertaining and real for me.What brings about a good film is the screenplay. But if you do not have a good director the project is doomed."Vengeance" director, Daniel Zirilli, did an excellent job bringing the script to life. The storyline is easy to follow because of the direction this film has.Many years ago I wrote a column reviewing music. I wrote about the songs of course, but I would also delve into the quality of the production. This can make or break a record. The same is true of films. "Vengeance" was good and entertaining because Zirilli brought it all together. He brought it to life.I would highly recommend "Vengeance", a good story with a good message with terrific actors brought together by a great director.Happy Viewing, Bill Shaffer

I purchased the DVD on it's Day of Release. I was very pleased with the performances of the Cast and Crew involved. The story was interesting, a lot of the Independent movies that are out there, basically have the same content. This movie was different, you think you know what's going to happen next, then the movie goes another direction. You can't even predict what happens next. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to get something out of a movie. There's a message, and it leaves you thinking. The DVD also has behind the scenes, and interviews with the cast and everyone involved. It was well put together. The cast members are unique, Danny Romo gave a great performance. Daniel Zirilli needs to be recognized for his work and imagination. There are some intense moments that hit your soul, and there are some moments when you have to smile, it has a little humor. From beginning to end action and emotions. The part with the paramedic scene got my attention, when Anthony Rodriguez took over driving the Ambulance his expressions and personality came across the screen. Check out the movie you won't be disappointed. Lisa Navarrette
