Revenge Reviews

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and maybe I will rewatch it at some point. By now, I have seen all the movies directed by the late Tony Scott, and I think this one must have been his most obscure feature. As a matter of fact, the whole thing was actually a pet project for Kevin Costner and Costner was in fact planning to direct himself the movie as his directorial debut. Eventually, back then, producer Ray Stark talked him out of it as he didn't feel Costner was ready to helm a project just yet. Anyway, I thought it was not bad and there was above all a pretty cool cast. Indeed, both Kevin Costner and Madeleine Stowe were pretty much at the top of their game at the time and they had some pretty good chemistry. Furthermore, the whole thing was rather entertaining but, unfortunately, as it is often the case with Tony Scott's work, the plot was just terribly pedestrian and unoriginal and, to be honest, I had a really hard time to care for the whole thing. To conclude, in spite of its flaws, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Tony Scott's work.
