My Name Is Vendetta

No pun intended - when a movie has the Vendetta title ... well there is not that much in it that should be too surprising, right? Maybe you do disagree, but I think most of the movie can be predicted. That being said, that does not take anything away from the movie and its story or its characters! Especially the characters - played really well by the actors. Sometimes there is a reason someone wants to live in solitary ... mostly it has to do with the past. But the past always comes back to haunt you - no pun intended! Especially if you count in new technology and what movies make of it. I do not think it can be used surveillance wise the way it is shown in most movies ... but it does heighten the suspense ... it does help elevate the tension ... so there is that. Also the movie is filled with action scenes ... and some gruesome shootouts! I like what they serve, some may feel offended or be too sensitive when it comes to those things ... be aware of it ... we conclude the only way the movie can end ... well two ways ... the first "ending" and then the next one ... because .. it has to end! On the other hand, I reckon you could always do a sequel ...

As "My Name Is Vendetta" (2022 release from Italy; 90 min) opens, we are introduced.to the Romeo family, with almost 18 yo Sofia being a little brad who, contrary to her dad's wishes, takes his picture during an camping outing. And next thing we know, that picture is hacked by a Mafia family who has been looking for him... At this point we are 10 min into the movie. Couple of comments: I can't say that I was familiar with either the director or any of the cast. Turns out this is a straight-forward Italian "Death Wish" reminding crime drama where the bottom line is" 'kill or be killed (literally). In case you didn't pick it up from the movie's title, the dad turns out to be, oh the SHOCK, a one-man killing army, helped by his almost 18 yo daughter. This movie is about as sophisticated as a bull in a china shop, if you know what I mean. All that said, the movie wastes little time and this hour and a half just flew by. "My Name Is Vendetta" was suggested to me by Netflix and based on that I gave it a shot. This isn't a bad movie, just straight-forward without any surprises whatsoever. If you are in the mood for an Italian revenge crime drama, I'd readily suggest you check it out, and draw your own conclusion.

Violent, brutal, bloody, not for the squeamish this Italian crime film where a former Ndrangheta goon is searched by his family for whom blood lines are more important than anything else. A revenge topic, already seen ten millions times before but that will please action movies goers. Not for intellectuals either, not a complicated story, with pretty good moments, and a very good directing, camera work, overall atmosphere. Clichés galore, if you seek surprises, watch something else. But it's better that this kind of topic is told by Italian than by Americans, the end would not have been the same at all from Hollywood. Good stuff.

I have to say that I made IMDB account just to tell you guys not to waste time on this movie. It's worst basic cliché u will ever watch in you life! Just NO! Guy is ex assassin, they kill his wife now he have to kill them all in order to save life of his daughter, he's asking daughter to help him because he can't so it alone.. He teaches her how to proper stab people with knife, and she's only 17. 😂 Girl is literally the worst.. Guy came to rescue her, they shot him while he was trying to do so, she didn't even check on him if he's maybe still alive to save him. Watch first 10 min and you will see everything that you need to see in this movie, or better DON'T.
