Revenge Movies

[QUOTE=Orleander;2802725]yep! Did you see all the plot twists coming?[/QUOTE]

No I did not, and yes that's one of the qualities of a good movie.

Who could leave out Let Me In? Although a dark romance , revenge is definitely a subplot.
"But, you're just a girl", Owen.
"I'm a little bit stronger than you think", Abby

"Columbiana" - Horrible.

Hanna. Revenge is a strong element in the plot.

It has a Netflix rating of 5 Stars, so lots of people liked it.

I love action hero, revenge, rampage, shoot'em up movies. The previously mentioned "Hanna" makes my five best for 2011.

Just didn't like "Colombiana".

I watched the following movie just last week. Every once in a while I like to see the bad guy get away with it. I enjoyed the hell out of it.:D


Rampage (2009) R

Dejected by the futility of his tedious life, bitter small-town resident Bill (Brendan Fletcher) takes matters into his own hands by constructing a bulletproof outfit, picking up his semi-automatic weapons and attempting the largest killing spree ever seen. Written and directed by controversial filmmaker Uwe Boll, this ultra-violent action movie features jarring handheld camerawork and original dialogue largely improvised by the cast.

Anything but ordinary, but definitely a [B][U]Law abiding citizen[/U][/B]

Bet you saw this on TV the other night? So did I, for the 3rd time, and it was still worth watching. A very well done revenge movie.

You are right, thanks for setting me straight about the name of it. I just remember "citizen" when talking about that movie.

~Revenge?

[B][I]D.O.A.[/I][/B] (1950) starring Edmond O'Brien. A classic film noir.

[B][I]Teaching Mrs Tingle[/I][/B] (1999) starring Helen Mirren. For anyone who's had really scary teachers — and who hasn't.

I just saw "[B]Haywire[/B]" and it was pretty goddamned fantastic. Soderbergh couldn't do a bad movie if his life depended on it. In fact, I would put it up there with "Bourne".

Too often in super-elite-fighting-person movies with a female lead (like Colombiana), the lady is this thin, fragile thing but somehow able to take out and kill men without breaking a sweat. By choosing Gina Carano (an MMA champ), it was uber-believable.

I want a sequel.

[QUOTE=KilljoyKlown;2795523]I'm looking for well done revenge movies. The standard I want to go by is.

I Spit on Your Grave, both versions 1978 & 2010

IMO revenge movies don't get much better, but I'm looking and will take all recommendations seriously.[/QUOTE]
