What are some great movies entirely focused around revenge?

With either the protagonists or the antagonists revenge plan being the main plot

Cape Fear was great (haven’t watched the original but I hear that was great too)

Recently watched Avengement. Probably th best modern revenge action movie I’ve seen in years.

Scott Adkins is really a fantastic action star, not sure why his career never really blew up, u think his biggest roles were just being a fighter some movie star had to beat. You can tell this guy is legitimately ripped, is a real trained fighter and does all his own stunts.

Gist of the plot is he’s set up to go to prison, the bad guys who set him up also want him dead so he spends YEARS in prison, constantly training to fight and be strong, all while surviving regular attacks by inmates, really fucked up stuff

So as soon as he gets the opportunity to get out, imagine how hard he goes after the people who fucked him over, all in gloriously choreographed action violence

Trailer here. It is schlocky but I love it. The actions feels so visceral in the movie, and surprisingly good acting from Adkins as he potttshs a pretty normal dude at the start, then him gradually turning himself into a monster to survive all this shit in prison. Feels like a completely different character by the end

I Saw the Devil

first blood

more animosity but revenge becomes a big part

death wish

vigilantism

commando

action version of death wish. people can complain about there's no real revenge done but I'd argue the results speak for themselves

The Toxic Avenger
Thriller/Ms. 45/Audition
The Crow (not a good movie but revenge serves as the main passion for the protagonist)
V for Vendetta

Only death wish is really about actual revenge. First blood was just a ptsd rampaged where he held back, commando was personal mission. I wouldn’t consider that revenge otherwise almost every action movie is about revenge. Like John wick

Death Sentence was like a modern version of deathwish but I enjoyed it much more

James Wan is a great director, very versatile

don't listen to anyone else... find a solid version of Golgo 13: the professional and watch it.. its pure revenge kino. even if you're not into anime.. it's like the 007-version of cape fear but in an animated form

First blood was just a ptsd rampaged where he held back

Commando, personal mission
