Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
View MoreI 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.
View MoreIt was good! Good action and no plot holes (from what I could tell).
View MoreI had high hopes for this movie, because it was a production of Millennium Films, an outfit that usually makes above average B movies. Not only that, the honchos at Millennium Films got Isaac Florentine to direct the movie, and Florentine has demonstrated many times in the past that he can make some great action movies.Unfortunately, despite those two supposed can't-miss ingredients, the movie stumbles enough to be somewhat of a disappointment. I could look past the obvious Bulgarian locations used (unsuccessfully) to depict American locations, and I could also look past some glaring plot holes. What I can't forgive, however, was how BORING most of the movie was. Yes, Florentine does manage to stage a few great hand-to-hand combat sequences; he even gets actor Antonio Banderas to do a lot of the fighting himself instead of a stuntman. However, there is less action in the movie than you might think. The movie is instead badly padded out by a REALLY slow moving plot - it takes forever for Banderas' character to track down the person he is looking for. Scene after scene goes by where Banderas' question advances extremely little (or not at all) at his quest.Even if you are (like me) a fan of Millennium Films and Isaac Florentine, there isn't enough to make this a must see. If you are not of fan of one or both of the above, there's even less here to make it worth a watch.
View MoreNot 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 :-)
