Movie Reviews of Revenge
Movie Review: Opinion on Revenge
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of my favorite Kostner movies. It is a grisly tale, but interesting and suspenseful. It contains Kostner's hottest love scenes to date (I haven't seen Open Range yet). The weakness of this movie is the directing...very uneven. But it didn't spoil the movie for me. It is great. A friend of mine said when she saw it that it made her want to go out and buy a jeep. Those who have seen it will understand.
Movie Review: Appeals to the senses
Summary: 4 Stars
This film had the potential to be so much better, but despite its rough edges it makes for compulsive viewing. You'll find yourself going through a wide array of emotions, lust, guilt, rage and sympathy. The cast is awesome. The story compelling.Movie Review: SWEET REVENGE
Summary: 4 Stars
COSTNER WAS GREAT...one of his best movies, a good love story if you like adultery the end was sad..so prepareMovie Review: 'Revenge' surpassed by the flavor of desire and love...
Summary: 3 Stars
'Revenge' has a recently retired fighter pilot (Kevin Costner) who goes to the coastal city of Puerto Vallarta, to enjoy the hospitality of an old friend he saves once his life on a hunting trip...
The possessive longtime friend has a wonderful-but-unhappy wife... Mireya (Madeleine Stowe) is an exotic young brunette, with great magnetism, who truly blew Costner's mind... Mireya embarks on a passionate affair, that naturally drives her husband 'Tibby' (Anthony Quinn) out of his mind...
Sexual tension is an integral part of Tony Scott's character's conflict... It rises off like heat emanating from the sand when the two lovers head in a jeep toward a nearby cute cabin... Costner and Stowe are attracted to one another, and naturally, the more they fight the attraction, the more they are thrown together...
Stowe's body comes alive at that brief caress, quickening her pulse, making her breath catch in anticipation... She experiences the heat in the slow slide of Costner's fingers, a passionate demand she couldn't help but respond to...
The plot is really predictable, and there's real high tension in the first part, but multiple stabbings, shootings, and beatings in the second, as the husband enters a storm of insane fury against the lovers...
'Revenge' is certainly a realm of brutality and pain, of love gone wrong and vengeance gone mad...
Movie Review: Fairly solid action/revenge film
Summary: 3 Stars
Revenge is exactly what it's title implies, and like the act the film is named after, it certainly isn't pretty. Kevin Costner plays a US Navy pilot who is the friend of an extremely wealthy Mexican millionaire (Anthony Quinn). While staying at Quinn's, Costner ends up having an affair with Quinn's wife (Madeline Stowe) and soon (naturally) Quinn finds out and seeks retribution by having Costner beaten and left for dead, and Stowe tortured and made into a junkie prostitute. Sounds like a movie for the whole family eh? Director Tony Scott (The Hunger, Top Gun) shows us all the gritty detail that he is known for, and like I said earlier, Revenge is not a pretty film. It is very violent (almost over the top like Scott's next film True Romance) and sometimes hard to watch, but besides all that Revenge is a fairly solid action film with a standout performance from the late Anthony Quinn. All in all, action fans or fans of Kevin Costner (hello? anybody?) should give this a look.
