_Revenge_ is a classic 70s style rape & revenge flick like a renovated muscle car that doesn't run on story but on cool - and the tank is full.

The director (Coralie Fargeat, writing and directing her first feature-length film) throws herself on the scene like an unpinned hand grenade and blows the screen away. Reminiscent of Tarantino, she can elicit winces as well as laughs (her 80S synth pop reference to Nicolas Winding Refn's _Drive_ tho!) and make every body count.

The actors are solid and the female lead (Italian actress Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz) is totally believable as the bad ass with a nice one. See this film before the backlash kicks in!

Boy, that sure was a lot of blood.

On the one hand it has even simpler plot than _John Wick_ which is not a compliment on my side. But on the other hand I keep thinking about more and more attribute about it. It's exciting, gruesome, visceral, sexy, tense and gorgeous. The cinematography even blowed my mind.
You should give it a try at least once. Worst case scenario you turn it off immediately.

You’ve seen this a billion times before, it is entirely predictable, but the execution is what makes it work.
It’s also quite gorey and visually striking, but not always very well acted.

Well, it is a typical rape-revenge movie..
Contains a lot of ridiculous scene I must say, like literally [spoiler] NOONE can survived falling from that height + impaled on some huge tree branch and you get some hole in your abdomen which cure just within 2 days~??? NOBODY WILL SURVIVED THAT ON THEIR OWN [/spoiler]
There's a lot of other scene similar like that but just watch it and figure it out yourself.
Nothing much to shout really.

Sick brutal sadistic fun. I love this old school plot and when it’s done like this, I love it even more. The evil scumbags pay the price as expected but you really enjoy it because of the spectacular Matilda Lutz. She is scorching hot and easy to love playing this adrenaline pumped badass babe; she is unforgettable. I must also mention the cinematography is gorgeous and colorful. There’s nothing to analyze, so just strap yourself in and have a blast watching Matilda get all over it.

**predictable** and **boring**, don't waste your time

So she lost a lot of blood, hadn't slept or eaten in a day, has a branch sticking out of her abdomen, but has the strength to walk a long distance without shoes, swim and fight? Also, she went from having pink panties before the fall, to black shorts after the fall? And why do movies and video games continue lying to people that shotguns can be fired from a mile distance with pinpoint sniper accuracy. The only reason I gave it a 5/10 is because of the girl's ass. But it's a really stupid movie.:rofl::poop::wastebasket:

It is impossible for that girl to survive the fall, subsequent impalement or loss of blood in the desert.

Run of the mill revenge flick that really could've been so much more. The first half does a wonderful job with exposition, establishing the dynamic between this young woman and her three tormentors. But then once we get into the actual "revenge" portion of the film, it all goes downhill. The cast is very small so needless to say, so is the body count. I much preferred the remakes of "I Spit On Your Grave" when it comes to the revenge department, though the Saw-like torture techniques might feel out of place in a film like this.
The direction and cinematography is brilliant. The look of the film is a lot more polished and artistic than what you usually see in these types of revenge flicks. There are a lot of closeups and jump cuts that really help build the tension and atmosphere. It's just a shame that the film couldn't hold that tension and atmosphere throughout the whole film.
It was entertaining enough. But it really could've been a lot more visceral with a bit more character development for our heroine, and it could've been something truly great.

Rape and revenge even more incredible than Prometheus, a girl with a Wolverine healing factor, and Rambo skills, people with 45 liters of blood, people who forget that they have been shot with a shotgun
