Plots(1)
Johnny Hallyday gives the performance of his life as Costello, a world-weary but dapper gourmet chef who clearly has violence in his past (and future) when he enlists the help of hired assassins to enact his bloody revenge on the Chinese gangsters who nearly killed his little girl. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
The main ballet-like attractions of Vengeance include atmospheric escalation to bloody confrontations, slow-motion fights and choreographed gunfights in a setting of wind-blown leaves and straw. A stiff and ridiculous Johnny Hallyday is its Achilles heel. Who was the casting agent’s second choice, David Hasselhoff?
