Revenge Storyline

Holed up in his secluded minimalist villa in the middle of the desert, the self-centred, arrogant, and filthy rich businessman, Richard, can’t wait to spend some time with his foxy extramarital girlfriend, Jen, before his annual hunting get-together. But, then, Richard’s sleazy friends show up unannounced one day earlier, and what started as a romantic getaway in the vast wilderness, will soon take a dangerous turn, as alcohol, potent psychotropics, and deadly guns don’t mix. Now, sexually abused and left for dead, a severely injured but armed-to-the-teeth Jen plans her bloody retaliation, and no man on earth can stand in her way. How sweet is the ambrosial juice of revenge?

Revenge Movie Reviews

Low budget, but not bad at all

REVENGE (2017) is a low budget and gritty French thriller made in the style of the I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE films. It’s shot in sun-scorched Morocco which is a character in the film all by itself and this exotic setting counts for a lot in what is essentially a visual experience without much in the way of dialogue. There are just four characters in the whole movie, three hunting buddies and the mistress of one of them, and it’s a story that plays out following the usual rape/revenge template.

I did enjoy this one although it’s quite flawed at times and you have to shake your head in disbelief at some of the things these characters survive or undergo. One thing you notice about French cinema is their willingness to include more extreme material and this offers plenty of nudity – mostly male – and a heck of a lot of strong bloodshed too. The ending is a real bloodbath in particular! Along the way there’s some social commentary for the #MeToo era and some fun symbolism which I enjoyed.

French grindhouse

Three rich entitled executives have their annual hunting trip at their remote desert retreat. Stan and Dimitri are surprised that the married Richard has brought along his lollipop mistress Jen. While Richard is away, she gets raped and the situation escalates.

The whole rape section is creepy good and intense. The cliff is unbelievable in a bad way. How she survives and escapes is very unlikely. When the guys return to find her missing, my first thought would be an animal had dragged her body off into the wilderness. It’s unreal that their only thought is that she walked away somehow. The excessive ass shots are excessive but that’s a choice the director has made. There are some good B-movie fun like the branding. There are some ups and downs about the competency of Jen. At some moments, she’s like a world beater. At other times, she does some silly mistakes. This is a fair bloody grindhouse action thriller.

No holds barred

Straight from the beginning the camera let’s us know and tempts us with views of a beautiful young woman, just strutting around. As you can read in the outlines someone thinks this is an invitation. Which of course it isn’t … and it’s really one of those things that most often than not break movies for me. And while the movie does not shy back to depict that violent attack, it does not go all Irreversible on us the viewers.

But as the title suggests, we do get some redemption and we do get a lot of blood and violent acts. This is definitely not for the faint hearted or squeamish. This really is graphic and I would guess a it unrealistic (or hyper realistic?). Whatever you want to call it, the second half is where the “fun” is at (again, remember this is just a movie and I’m obviously not advocating or rooting for that sort of behaviour in any way, shape or form). With that in mind, sit back, relax and enjoy the mayhem
