Revenger

Revenger (Netflix) - 2/5

This movie tries to hide the huge spaces between the mediocre action by covering them with a weak, uninteresting plot. The ‘people stuck on an island’ survival themes are undercut by the fact that they keep getting airdrops of supplies. The ‘one good person in a sea of evil’ is undercut but they whole tribe of anti-heroes. Everything this movie purports to have going for it, it undercuts with a less interesting version than promised. Even fans of martial arts B-movies are going to be disappointed, and that’s saying a lot.

Closest comparison: It’s like a cheap knock-off version of The Raid: Redemption or Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior.

Setting: Survival
Plot: Cop Adventure
Tone: Action Drama
