True Vengeance

About This Movie

True Vengeance, released in '97, has this grungy, raw vibe that just pulls you in. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it really adds to the tension as our ex-naval officer navigates this dark world of the Yakuza. The performances are solid, especially the lead, who brings a kind of gritty realism to the role. You can feel the stakes in every scene, especially with the personal angle of his daughter's kidnapping. The practical effects have a certain charm, not overly polished but they serve the story well. Overall, it’s a film that doesn’t shy away from the darker themes of revenge and sacrifice, making it a unique entry in the action-thriller genre.
