A amateurish, pathetic and depressing melodramatic gangster "woe is me, I've killed tons of people without thinking and just got shot and now I'm sad"-tale To be honest I couldn't even finish this dreadful piece of crap and poor excuse of a movieFurthergoing with my honesty to call this a piece of crap is disrespectful to piece of craps in general this piece of crap is a whole new level of crappinessIf a man ate a hundred nachos and drank 4 gallons of Magarita and he farted, those farts would create a cloud that would resemble this movieLacking any kind of talent behind and in front of the camera it's fairly obvious that the positive +50 ratings are made by people who were apart or know someone who were apart of the making of this movie

This is a story about the struggle of a man to let good prevail over the evil in his life.Without giving away the story, here are a few observations of "Vengeance" from my viewpoint.The cast was terrific. Danny Romo (the main character) is excellent. He plays a wide range of emotions in the film. From the worst bad guy to a caring father. He makes the transitions from bad guy to good guy believable. He connects well with all of the characters especially his daughter in the film, Erlinda Orozco. Raul Julia, Jr and Damon Whitaker also are very convincing in their roles.One of the best scenes is when Romo learns of some tragic news. He is very believable with his emotions.What makes a movie good for me is if it can "jump" from the screen and capture my attention.One thing that has always annoyed me about some film critics is they forget to ask the most vital question, was the film entertaining."Vengeance" was very entertaining and real for me.What brings about a good film is the screenplay. But if you do not have a good director the project is doomed."Vengeance" director, Daniel Zirilli, did an excellent job bringing the script to life. The storyline is easy to follow because of the direction this film has.Many years ago I wrote a column reviewing music. I wrote about the songs of course, but I would also delve into the quality of the production. This can make or break a record. The same is true of films. "Vengeance" was good and entertaining because Zirilli brought it all together. He brought it to life.I would highly recommend "Vengeance", a good story with a good message with terrific actors brought together by a great director.Happy Viewing, Bill Shaffer

Wow, imagine me going to Blockbuster and going just randomly running into a movie, the movie itself was OK, the acting was good and the storyline is the regular killing up and shootem up Cinemax style movie night movie. The story is about a girl from the rough neighborhood that and the story behind her life and her fathers life who is a killer for hire, but is trying to change what he is doing. All i have to say is there is a standout in the entire move, an actress woman Erlinda Orozco, this woman is just straight up stunning and wow can she act or what, her performance was just a standout performance even though everyone else is good too, can anyone who reads this tell me any info about her. She is gonna be a Superstar i want to find out more.

I purchased the DVD on it's Day of Release. I was very pleased with the performances of the Cast and Crew involved. The story was interesting, a lot of the Independent movies that are out there, basically have the same content. This movie was different, you think you know what's going to happen next, then the movie goes another direction. You can't even predict what happens next. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to get something out of a movie. There's a message, and it leaves you thinking. The DVD also has behind the scenes, and interviews with the cast and everyone involved. It was well put together. The cast members are unique, Danny Romo gave a great performance. Daniel Zirilli needs to be recognized for his work and imagination. There are some intense moments that hit your soul, and there are some moments when you have to smile, it has a little humor. From beginning to end action and emotions. The part with the paramedic scene got my attention, when Anthony Rodriguez took over driving the Ambulance his expressions and personality came across the screen. Check out the movie you won't be disappointed. Lisa Navarrette
