Vendetta

Instead of just stating the obvious about why this movie was so bad I'm actually going to take a minute and explain myself. "Vendetta" fancies itself a South Korean revenge thriller, but it's not. The reason Korean revenge thrillers work is because the main character must become as evil and sadistic as the person who harmed them, a process which tortures and disturbs them to their core. But, in this film, Dean Cain doesn't blink an eye when he rapidly turns into a raging psychopath. There is no character development and not a glimpse of remorse from him, and the film falls to pieces because of it. Cain acts terribly throughout this mess of a film, and between that and the shallowness of the story, nothing about it works. The ending is so patently ridiculous I was happy to see it end. Not good at all. 2/5
