It starts out decent, I can see potential, then it just gets stupid. Incredibly stupid. I found out the writer and director are the same person, which explains how a pump shotgun was being referred to and used as a scoped rifle, despite being loaded with shells. It also explains how any number of stupid things are done as they make no sense. I suspect the writer/director has never gone camping in her life, or ever handled a firearm. I feel dumber having watched most of the movie. In the end I just gave up because it was a gore-fest with no redeeming plot, but a lot of shots that were added purely for "artistic" value or to pound the foreshadowing into the viewer's head with the subtlety of repeated blows from a sledgehammer.

Since the writer/director may actually read this. Here is some advice. Cut the BS political message. You can have a strong female lead, but don't make an utterly moronic plot in order to depict an otherwise stupid girl as some sort of hero. Cut the foreshadowing/artistic shots. Just get rid of them if you can't make it subtle. Films can be artistic, but sacrificing actual plot for gratuitous artistic shots is bad film making. You should be asking yourself "how does this forward the plot?" If the answer is "it doesn't", then don't include it. Don't actually make a movie until you have ironed out the improbabilities and impossibilities. I am not a idiot, and you shouldn't be making movies for idiots. It is both immersion breaking and insulting when the audience is supposed to buy into something utterly stupid. Cut the blood/gore. In fact I suggest not making movies that use it at all, since you clearly don't know how to use blood/gore. It isn't something you throw into a scene to hide the fact the scene is crap. All you are doing is making bloody/gorey crap. Blood should be used like punctuation. You don't write with 15 exclamation marks on every line, and you shouldn't use blood excessively where it doesn't need to be used. There, I have given you career advancing advice, you can thank me later in life when you realize I am write. Oh, I have friends in the film industry, and I tell them when their films are crap too.… Expand

The most interesting part of the entire movie is the fact that the girl is barefoot the whole time. Other than that, the movie is **** Here's one of the most basic things everyone knows about first aid: You must NEVER remove impaled objects. Doing so will cause you to bleed to death in a matter of seconds. The whole cat and mouse thing would have been interesting if either the mouse or the cat weren't absolutely **** retarded. It would be cool to see characters chasing each other, setting up ambushes, avoiding them, anticipating each other's moves, but no, they're all dumber than dirt. What a waste of **** time.… Expand

A real eye-roller, so much so that they will be spinning. It is beyond belief that this movie is rated so highly when in fact it such an amateur effort.

It is beyond belief that this movie is rated so highly when in fact it such an amateur effort. The silliness really starts when a women is pushed off a cliff (maybe 100m high)and lands on a tiny tree which impales her. The tree is so small and the cliff so high that regardless of being impaled the tree would have been flattened by the impact but no, a small 1 inch diameter branch holds her suspended above the ground.Barely have your eyes stopped rolling and she reaches out for a cigarette lighter, even though she does not smoke, which luckily landed within arms reach after the fall. She then ignites some grass at the base of the tree to set it on fire (yes the tree she is impaled on)which miraculously causes the tree to more or less disintegrate so she is no longer impaled. Though despite this she appears not to have been burned, the whole thing is totally cartoonish. The movie never recovers from this ****

The same scenes are shot in different locations, there is 1 scene where 1 of the guys tries to run her over where the shot of the approach is in a different location to the shot of the car departing from her, again amateurish.

There is another scene of her cauterising her wound after pulling out a bit of the tree that impaled her (after losing many litres of blood). The problem is there is no wound at her back (there must be an entry and exit hole).

Basically most scenes will have the eyes rolling it is just so bad.… Expand

Revenge tries to copy that movie but fails atrociously. Its direction is absolute garbage, every thing is done in half baked way and even the action scenes were boring. Seriously, its garbage and there are way better movies in the same genre with female leads which are 10x better than this crap. Most overhyped and overrated movie of 2018. Always trust the users and not the critics.… Expand

Warning! Don't be fooled by high rating movie started good until that pushing scene comes where you will recall some of Bollywood films and some of the superheros that won't die starting from that point it began to be boring and unsettledWarning! Don't be fooled by high rating movie started good until that pushing scene comes where you will recall some of Bollywood films and some of the superheros that won't die starting from that point it began to be boring and unsettled guys chasing woman in the middle of nowhere then the gore started to be the star of the movie I guess the idea of this movie started all right after these movie creator have discovered how to do a fake blood then you know what lets make a movie about that !

the story felt like its written by some high school girl who was trying to write something edgy feminist during her boring history class. it did have some nice shots that felt like they belong to some dior perfume ad. but basically its athe story felt like its written by some high school girl who was trying to write something edgy feminist during her boring history class. it did have some nice shots that felt like they belong to some dior perfume ad. but basically its a movie about this irresponsible blond who took the risk to have some fun with some hot rich married guy out in the middle of the desert. jens was not a good moral person, nor smart, nor strong. pretty unlikable from the start. the movie just presented her to the audience as some hot nympho who manipulated men to fall for her desire in the first 10mins. there was very little to feel for her other than the fact that she was a rape victim, and that was not compelling enough for me to root for her, while she ran around the rocky desert bare feet for 2 days with a speared thru torso AND without dying from blood loss or infection. The acting was horrendous. There were an incredible amount of holes throughout the entire movie. wheres the entry wound? the hunter didnt know how to hold his weapon? Where did the bullet hole go on the headrest? did they just run around in a circle for 5mins?

you might compare quentin tarantinos kill bill and that would be an insult to mr tarantino. Similar to matt damons great wall, this movies unintentionally bad it became entertaining, so i upped the score from a 2 to a 3.… Expand

She totally brought everything on herself alone and deserved to be dead. The bimbo is screwing with a married man, seduces another one but pretends to be a nice little pinky-fluffy-unicorn girl? The movie should have been named "The revenge of a megaslut" but that would conflict with the director's poor feminist propaganda attempt. Oh yeah, the director is female. Coincidence?… Expand

This one was just monumentally stupid. I went in having read some of the bad reviews and was willing to suspend my disbelief for the sake of the film...I mean, aren't we all when it comes to action movies? But this demanded way too much suspension of disbelief too early on, and it just got worse from there. I don't want to get into too many details, but this piece of garbage was evidently shot using the first draft of the script without any consideration for "Is what's happening right now at least remotely plausible?"

Rewrites and second drafts - totally worth the time you put into them.… Expand

This is anThe movie starts out alright, showing some promise and a potentially good story. Where it falls apart is when a grievous wound is miraculously fixed with some warm metal and a pump-action shotgun is used as a long range rifle. This is an obvious attempt to draw female fans by making the lead be able to survive a complete impaling, multiple gunshots, and further injuries whereas all of the others characters die rather easily and carelessly.… Expand
