Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Director Stephen Reynolds has created a gem in Vendetta.Starring Danny Dyer who has been in other classic flicks, Human Traffic 1999, The Football Factory 2004, The Business 2005 and Straightheads 2007.Also starring Vincent Regan who has been in other classic flicks, Joan of Arc 1999, 300 2006, Bonded by Blood 2010 and Lockout 2012 plus a season of the classic television series Strike Back 2010-2015, 2017-18.Also starring Bruce Payne who has been in other classic flicks, Necronomicon 1993, Re-Kill 2015 and One Point O 2004.I enjoyed the violence.If you enjoyed this as much as I did then check out other classic revenge flicks, Cold in July 2014, Landmine Goes Click 2015, 45 2006, Instant Death 2017, The Equalizer 2014, The Gift 2015, Revenge 2017, Death Wish 2018 and A Certain Justice 2014.

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.

Forget all the Dyer haters out there...This is a very good film, end of! No spoilers, no plot line summary's just watch it and make up your own mind.It may not be a 9 out of 10 that I have given it but that is to try and counter balance against the keyboard warriors out there who just want to have a go because Danny Dyer is involved. If you like films like Layer Cake, Lock Stock etc. then you will enjoy this. It may not be an Oscar winner, you may think that the plot is a re-hash, that doesn't stop this from being a good film. Get over yourself, sit down and enjoy...and if it makes you reflect on the state of the criminal justice system in the UK and the state of "Bwroken Bwritain" then crack on me ol son!

Why would I recommend this film? Well, as much as I enjoy watching American movies, it is sometimes nice to have a rest and see something different. It is nice to see some different scenery, different style and listen to a different accent. Sometimes, it is priceless. It is nice to see a film which is not so much exaggerated, more realistic, without dozens of car explosions, helicopters, driving a car in the opposite direction. It is nice to watch a British, French, German, Scandinavian or any other film every now and then when they make one. The plot of Vendetta is not something original you have not seen before but it is a nice decent and mainly different action film which I have enjoyed watching.
