There is an insane amount of exaggeration in Revenge in many aspects of the film. If you treat it like a story taken from a comic book or a video game you might enjoy it. I am not sure if the filmmakers wanted for people to treat it like that or not but it is hard to interpret it otherwise. The direction, acting and photography are all top-notch and the female and male leading actors are pure eye candy material. It is nice to see a lead female character that is strong and tough. This does not make a film a feminist propaganda like some argue since the gorgeous leading lady is never wearing much in the film and there are numerous close-ups of her behind. It is a bloody, sexy, violent thrill ride if you allow it to be but as mentioned before, take it with a pinch of salt - maybe more than a pinch. Give it a shot and see what you make of it.
