Review of Revenge (2017) by Shag00 — 16 Oct 2018
A real eye-roller, so much so that they will be spinning. It is beyond belief that this movie is rated so highly when in fact it such an amateur effort. The silliness really starts when a women is pushed off a cliff (maybe 100m high)and lands on a tiny tree which impales her. The tree is so small and the cliff so high that regardless of being impaled the tree would have been flattened by the impact but no, a small 1 inch diameter branch holds her suspended above the ground.Barely have your eyes stopped rolling and she reaches out for a cigarette lighter, even though she does not smoke, which luckily landed within arms reach after the fall. She then ignites some grass at the base of the tree to set it on fire (yes the tree she is impaled on)which miraculously causes the tree to more or less disintegrate so she is no longer impaled. Though despite this she appears not to have been burned, the whole thing is totally cartoonish. The movie never recovers from this ****.
The same scenes are shot in different locations, there is 1 scene where 1 of the guys tries to run her over where the shot of the approach is in a different location to the shot of the car departing from her, again amateurish.
There is another scene of her cauterising her wound after pulling out a bit of the tree that impaled her (after losing many litres of blood). The problem is there is no wound at her back (there must be an entry and exit hole).
Basically most scenes will have the eyes rolling it is just so bad.
