a5c7b9f00b Walking home with her 12-year-old daughter after midnight on the Fourth of July, Teena crosses paths with some local losers to be brutally gang raped with her daughter Bethie watching. Bethie is able to identify the rapists, but when the rapists hire a hot shot attorney who attacks Teena's character, Dromoor, a local police officer who was first on the scene when police were called, starts to take matters into his own hands. A gulf war veteran seeks vengeance against those who assaulted a single mother. This is literally the first time I've ever felt the need to write a review WHILE the movie is still playing on my tv. The courtroom scene alone did it in for me. A woman brutally raped by 4 men. Her daughter a witness (almost a victim herself) identifies the rapists. And at NO point during the trial did it even remotely look like anyone was on her side. From a jack@$$ judge to a lawyer making up ridiculous stories that are simply…believed without question. And to top it off…the entire courtroom applauds?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Then, instead of laying low, the rapists continue to antagonize and reek havoc like they're untouchable. Even loudly admitting to their crime. I've always liked Nicolas Cage, but he lost a ton of credibility for even touching this bs fest. Just when I thought I had seen every horrendous movie offered online, I had the misfortune of watching 'Vengeance'. Don't get me wrong, the plot is a good one, and perhaps with a better script, better direction and better acting it could have been decent. I don't think I've seen Anna Hutchison (Teena) in anything before, but this may be the worst acting job ever. Her over-the-top expressions are laughable. All that being said, this may be a candidate for worst movie of 2017. What's even worse is how badly Charlene Tilton (Irma) has aged. A one star effort given an extra star for the one bright spot in the movie, Talitha Bateman (Bethie), who might go on to acting success…in spite of this movie.
