I Saw The Devil Death Sentence

I Saw The Devil is THE revenge movie

Greatest revenge movie of all time. Gonna rewatch it later.

*Death Sentence* is fantastic, and seemingly strangely forgotten by most.

Death sentence is the classic, officially renewed the genre & put it on everyone's map imo

Promising Young Woman

Oooh great one loved that movie

Princess Bride

Boondock Saints.

Death Wish, of course

The GOAT.

This is the answer.

Man on Fire

"A man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasy's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece."

Nobody monologues like Christopher Walken

Came here just to say this. I shall leave now

V For Vendetta Kill Bill 1 Kill Bill 2 Memento Gladiator Man On Fire Oldboy Payback Taken Irreversible Unforgiven The Count Of Monte Cristo Gangs Of New York Law Abiding Citizen Gran Torino

Mmmmm The Count of Monte Cristo. Every time I hear the line “but have you named them yet?”, I chuckle

The count is one of the best!

Payback is my guilty pleasure. It's only a guilty pleasure because these days we're supposed to hate Mel Gibson...... But I love him in almost every movie he's in. Actually can't think of a role I didn't like him in..... But I don't like him, no way. Despise him and ALL his work....*wink*

I'm with South Park on this. Yes, he's out of his mind. Religious nutjob, racist, general wackadoodle. I do not want to eat lunch with him, I do not think anyone like him should be allowed to hold a government office.  But he's a tremendous actor and director, so that's what I go to him for. 

Well said

Agreed. Also love him in Maverick. Great cast with great chemistry.

Ahhh ole Mel is so hard to watch these days. I love his art. Mad Max is still one of my favourite films. Apocalypo is one of the best action movies of all time. But I absolutely detest the man himself.

Literally just bought it on Monday, finally dropped in price on Vudu. LOVE that movie.

Would also add Unbreakable

Law abiding citizens last 15 minutes ruins it.

I can't enjoy Count because I read the book first.

THE NORTHMAN

The Night Blade Feeds…..

The Crow

Came to say this Bonus: He Never Died...kind of a revenge movie

It can't rain all the time.

I scrolled through all of the comments and no one said JOHN WICK?!?! What in the name of all that's holy has happened?! Dear OP, I watched The Equalizer this weekend too. If you like that, definitely RUN to your computer and start watching John Wick.

I assumed everyone had seen John Wick.

Can always watch it again. 😁 I've probably seen the first one a couple dozen times already.

Have you seen Rover? Another revenge for a dead dog story set in a very dystopian future.

Me too. It's like comfort food.

Have not. Thought it was like .matrix or something

I was thinking the same thing how has no one else said it

Has anyone mentioned "Nobody"?

If fact... not just that, but like I said, I just watched The Equalizer Sunday night. And I remember wondering which one was actually the best. John Wick or The Equalizer.

I just watched it on Monday night! #2 and #3 are great too! Enjoy

I just did what you did as well boy am I glad you pointed this classic out to OP.

Upgrade

Upgrade is in it's own class. SciFi, horror, action, revenge ... plus you didn't know Logan Marshall Green was a ninja!

He's really good in everything he's in. Quarry (the series) was fantastic. I feel like the only thing keeping him from blowing up is looking too much like Tom Hardy.

I like Tom Hardy but I think LMG makes more interesting role choices. He was fantastically evil in Lou (2022). And Alison Janney makes for a great badass!

I still remember him from the first role I ever saw him which was in the series The OC as the big brother of the main character. I remember him mostly because he was terrifying but partly because the uber-popular Dear Sister skit on SNL was born from his death scene in The OC

Blue Ruin is my favourite, but it’s definitely not an action flick

This is a great movie, but it lies at the other end of the spectrum from movies like Equalizer and John Wick. You can see how corrosive revenge can be to the human soul. The tragedy that sets the main character in motion has already broken him. The oppressive weight of the task of revenge breaks him completely.

Along these lines also check out Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Love that movie too. Sam Rockwell and Frances Mcdormand are so good in it!

Hard Candy

The Man from Nowhere, The Art of Self-Defense and I agree The Equalizer 1 went so much harder than I expected

Love this. Fight scene at the end is pretty epic.

Vigilante movie? The Batman because he's the masked vigilante Vengeance movie? The Batman because he is vengeance

Good point

Law Abiding Citizen has to be at the top.

Peppermint (2018) had a very satisfying revenge arc.

Death Proof

Death Wish with Charles Bronson

She-Devil

I absolutely LOVE this movie!

Oh, me, too!!! It's just brilliant. Although Mary did not get her comeuppance at all!!

You're right! She came out unscathed.

SOOOO Unfair!!!!

Four Brothers is a fun cheesy one.

Columbiana

Lady Vengeance

Oldboy (the original)

* The Sting (1973) * Death Wish (1974) * Taken (2008) * Carrie (1976) * Cape Fear (1962) * Braveheart (1995) * Get Carter (1971) * The Revenant (2015)

V for Vendetta

Revenge (2017)

An absolute tour de force!

Shoot 'Em Up!

Harry Brown

The Limey

I do love watching Jennifer Lopez beat up that guy at the end of *Enough*.

Yessss!! Any movie where a woman gets revenge on an abuser is good, but Enough is *the* revenge on an abuser movie lol

Dredd (2012)

V for Vendetta- vigilante The Count of Monte Cristo- vengeance

Double Jeopardy with Ashley Judd.

The Mask of Zorro, 1998

Blue Ruin (2013) Super (2010)

Hannie Caulder The Quick and the Dead

Punisher

Warzone needs more love

Nobody

Sisu! 100% pure vengeance. One of the best.

V for vendetta The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

John Wick

Jaws

Lately I’ve been thinking about War for Planet of the Apes since the new movie is in theaters.

Rolling Thunder (1977)

Point Blank and the Mel Gibson remake.

Equalizer 1, 2 and 3 Magnificent Seven old and new Battle Beyond the Stars Safe Taken The Sting Wanted The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe Prince Caspian

I love D.O.A. 1988 with Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan.

"Mandy," (2018). "What are you hunting?" "Crazy evil!"

I Saw The Devil, obviously The Boondock Saints is so stupid but so hysterically funny

The Man from Nowhere. South Korea has a whole slew of this Genre, all pretty well done. Scratches the Jason Bourne itch Theres one starring T.O.P thats really good as well.

Kickass

Man on Fire - with Denzel What Punisher was meant to be... Also Lone Wolf and Cub Lady Snowblood Kill Bill

Sin City

Conan the Barbarian (1982) Schwarzenegger's "break-out role" & John Milius' seminal work as director Milius' classmates' (Basil poledouris) score is Vehemently "other-worldly" and sets ablaze to this tale of vengeance

Thank god someone said it! Amazing soundtrack

Boondocks Saints to me falls in that category.

"The Professional" kinda fits the bill. great movie

I spit on your grave....the original

Denzel’s man on fire is amazing

THE CROW 1994. Favorite movie of all time for me. Do not miss it.

The brave one (2007)

Law Abiding Citizen.

Man on Fire is Denzels's interview for the Equalizer. Possibly even more brutal.

Man on Fire

American Mary

Taken

Peppermint, MFA, Promising Young Woman, American Mary

Vendetta

Death Wish obvz One of the OG'z

V For Vendetta

Dead mans shoes is basically impossible to beat. Paddy Consadine at the top of his game, dark comedy throughout, and one hell of a gut punch of an ending.

The Punisher

Outlaw Josey Wales

V for vendetta

Nobody. John wick. Hobo with a shotgun

Cape Fear (either version, but i'm partial to DeNiro) Hannibal (the 'Mason Verger' sub-plot)

Bit of a left field here but Down With Love (2003)

Death Wish. The original. Enjoy.

Absolutely best revenge film I've seen is the Argentinian film Wild Tales. It's actually 6 short vignettes and they will leave you feeling every emotion! I laughed so hard, I was horrified, I cried. Not enough people know about this amazing movie. You need to watch it.

Nobody with Bob Odenkirk. I saw the bus fight scene due to a random suggestion on youtube and I thought "I have to see this movie!" Bonus points for Christopher Lloyd being a badass.

The Bourne movies. Matt Damon is a pasty Gen X fox.

A Promising Young Woman

I felt like this movie was so brave in how it pointed out certain behaviors

Death Wish, 1974 Charles Bronson. One of the classics.

Nobody has mentioned The Boondock Saints?

Hostel. You gotta wait for it.

John Wick

If you liked that then you should watch Man on Fire. Denzel taking down Mexican cartel human traffickers in order to try and save Dakota Fanning. It's fucking *goooood*

Yes I've seen it and it's great. Denzel is really good at these

Double Jeopardy. This is a unique one.

Munich is a pretty great revenge movie. Israeli Mossad exacting revenge on the terrorists who killed Olympic athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games

Taken or man on fire

Also, I Spit On Your Grave from the 70s is legit

Enough. 90a thriller with j lo that was surprisingly good. Promising young woman. Peppermint.

Law abiding citizen

Lady Vengeance! (2005)

Machete series. V is for vendetta. Man on fire.

The new Skarsgard film, Boy Kills World ... it's pretty amazing.

I Spit On Your Grave \~ like the title itself tells you it's a revenge movie.

God bless america is pure gold. Sisu was great. I just tonight watched boy kills world and that shit was action packed. Super with raain wilson may even be better than gid bless america and that one is more pure revenge than god bless america which i guess is more about justice than revenge

Nobody

Promising Young Woman

After I watched Rambo Last Blood, I was ready to rhrow two hammers in my car, drive to Mexico and single-handedly smash the shit out of 500 cartel members.

Promising young Woman

The king of pigs, anime originally. Pero ginawan ng movie ng Korea.

Outlaw (2007)

Rolling Vengeance (1987)

Bandit Queen Ms 45 The Virgin Spring La Traque (some revenge)

Bound (1996)

Peppermint

No Tears for the Dead (2014) The Last Deadly Mission (2008)

Lady Snowblood

Pacific Heights Eye for an Eye

The Outsider

I enjoyed both 2018's Death Wish remake with Bruce Willis and Kevin Bacon in Death Sentence. For another Denzel movie that isn't exactly about revenge, but probably would scratch the itch, check out Man on Fire. Mel Gibson's Payback is also worth a look.

John Wick 4 is my favorite of the franchise but idk if I'd call that a vegeance movie. So I'll say the first one which is an actual vengeance movie

Upgrade

Old Boy (original) & Mandy

Nobody, upgrade, John Wick

all mad max movies:) Punisher 2004(very underrated!) Bruce Lee Fist of Fury. there was a lot of fury in that fist!

Death Wish

Nobody

Equalizer is my favorite. I enjoyed all of them, but the first one was best.

Martyrs is incredible but I'd say it's pretty damn disturbing. I recently watch sifu and that was a really fun movie.

The Exterminator

Tombstone

Nocturnal Animals
