I Spit on Your Grave (2010)
Setting the bar very high
I find this movie very interesting, especially the revenge part. Both the assault scenes to our main character and the second part of the movie, which are the scenes where the main character get back on full force to the guys are fantastic! The acting were good, I can feel the satisfaction seeps through my veins as the main character's super violent vengeance scenes are on. What also satisfies me is that the main character does back what the bad guys did to her - in some ways.
Kudos to this movie. This movie has really set the bar very high for action/thriller/gory movies to me. Since I watch this movie, i think only less than 5 movies that could match my need for this terrific kind of action/thriller/gory movie. This might be one of my favorite movies of all time.
Never Let Go (2015)
Don't mess with moms!
I like it when the villains mess with a wrong person, in this case, the person is a very tough mom. Surprisingly she fights back- real hard!.. and that is not the only surprise the movie gives me. The action is great, I was taken into the ride of a mother trying her best in finding her daughter, leaving me with questions like: should she do this or that? It is like "Taken" in different package, with sudden violence to the bad guys, but unfortunately with lower quality, I'd say.
The story is interesting, with political intrigue and all. I am annoyed by the way the scenes are taken by the camera (shooting style of the camera?), for me it's too dramatic. The movie has a quite interesting twist at the end.
Plus point: the setting is in Marrakech, Morocco. I find the place very interesting.
Berkshire County (2014)
An OK movie to kill your time with.
If you're looking for an action and gory movie in which the main character fight back with cool and tactical action (like You're Next or I Spit on Your Grave), this is definitely not the one for you. This is a thriller movie with mild touch on the action and goriness. The main character is not quite a fighter, I think she is just lucky. The hide and seek scenes are quite exciting, but too bad, it lingers for too long.
For those of you who pay extra attention on the lines and the acting, this movie would be a waste of your time. But somehow the twist at the end (watch out, there are several twists!) prevent me to rate this movie below five. With this ending, it definitely opens for a sequel, for which I request: please upgrade the quality.
I'd say, watch this movie only if you run out of full-action movies.
Eden Lake (2008)
My thirst quencher
I super like this movie! I never thought this movie could be THAT good. Apart from the "end of chapter-like" editing (fading to black and then move to another scene) that I don't really like, the movie quenches my thirst of light-gory movies, revenging characters, and stupid antagonist characters that doesn't realize that they're mean.
Its a tragedy, for its sad ending. The plot gives several small climax and relieves as well - the moments you think the problem is solved but it actually not. The woman is surely a fighter, which gives me hope as the audience that all the evil actions are revenged. Some people might think the romance of the couple is too much, but since I focus myself on the action, that does not really bother me.
Interesting enough that the movie still gives room for some human touch: the leading woman character realizes she makes mistakes after accidentally killing one of the boys (which I thought she really mean to kill him), and the parents being parents (in the diner and at the end), "protecting" their love ones. I also love the sickness of the characters: crazy and deranged kids. Even the seemingly nice ones.
Too bad the whole fight starts only because a stupid mistake (I know this sometimes happens in movies I like, but for this one i think it's too much). But like the romance of the couple, it does not really bother me, since the action really entertains!
The Good Neighbor (2016)
Great story line
I really like this movie because it's a kind of movie which makes me guess - not think- so much. It has the flash back scenes which kind of teasing because it partly gives me hints on what or who is doing what. I consider the movie not heavy, so you can enjoy the movie, while making lots of guesses along the way, and finally know what behind the story. Although it is not heavy, the movie makes me think, that we all we do to others might have great consequence(s) to them, because of their background that we do not know of. Just like it is said at the beginning.
The movie got some surprising scene, enough to meet my expectation from thriller movies. But for you out there who's got high appetite for revenge, do not expect so much from this one. But then again, its not about getting even, its the story that makes this movie great.
