In a revenge-movie mood tonight. Enjoyed "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Taken". Any recommendations? :biggrin:

Taken was pretty good, I thought.

I liked that movie because it was such a change from your typical Batman movies - Liam killed every single one of the bad guys :biggrin:

For some reason, I *really* enjoy Breakdown. Can't really say why that works for me. :hmm:

Kill Bill came to mind almost immediately, I mean she got revenge on everybody

For some reason, I *really* enjoy Breakdown. Can't really say why that works for me. :hmm:

With Kurt Russell? I really liked that movie too but wouldn't really consider it a revenge flick.

Watch it again, man. He really messes up those criminals. I love when he kicks the asshole leader's face and knocks him into the cellar before locking him there.

At the end, they finish him off by dropping a fucking big rig on him when he was practically dead already.

Shouldn't have effed with Kurt Russell and his wife.

I'd say Oldboy. I had no idea it was a revenge movie when watching it. Blew my mind.

The original 'Death Wish' is timeless, I've also heard that 'Faster' is pretty decent, but cannot confirm for myself yet.

Please don't mention that garbage Vengeance trilogy.

Well, Old Boy is worth your time.
