Revenge Review

to begin with the movie has some great characters in it,kinda like maltese falcon.The story had a minor flaw but just the same it was not just another rewrite. i believe Costner gets a bad rep. from critics and this movie shows just how wrong they are, this isnt what id call a date movie or a action movie but it was a good story, a throwback to movies 60 years ago robert mithum could have easily played this back then and everyone would no the movie today.

Revenge Specifications

This often grisly, arguably racist movie stars Kevin Costner as a U.S. Navy pilot who is the improbable friend of a powerful, vaguely criminal Mexican millionaire (Anthony Quinn). While visiting the latter on his estate, Costner's character has an affair with his host's gorgeous young wife (Madeline Stowe), for which he is almost beaten to death and the wife mutilated and turned into a junkie prostitute (nice, eh?). The hero seeks retaliation, and you may want the same against director Tony Scott, who makes the navy sequences look like beefcake excerpts from his earlier hit film, Top Gun. However, if you can stand the garishness, then perhaps the extreme violence won't be too bothersome, either. But expect a rough time either way. --Tom Keogh
