Critics Consensus

Avengement compensates for a lack of narrative originality with thrilling sequences of violent, bone-crunching action, elevated by Scott Adkins' brutally intense performance.

"Avengement" is Adkins-Johnson's best film yet: a clever reinvention of their formula, which puts all the usual bone-crunching into a more mythic context.

If you like watching an endless string of prison brawls and pub fights connected by the thinnest of narrative threads, then you'll be in heaven.

Portraying his most complex character to date, Adkins delivers a ferocious turn that proves visceral in its emotional as well as physical intensity.

This is a gritty, mean, down and dirty crime story about gritty, mean, down and dirty criminals. It's also Johnson and Adkins' most ambitious film to date, as well as maybe their best.

3.5/5

As usual, Adkins' fighting is great and his acting is, besides the aforementioned hindrances, above decent. This may not be his best work, but it's good nonetheless.

While Avengement isn't exactly a classic in any regard, it's a step in the right direction for a new breed of British thumpfests that - if Adkins can wield his sensibilities correctly - may just begin to rival their Eastern origins.

This is one of the best revenge films ever. Betrayal, false accusations, loss of basic human rights, turning from an innocent man into an unrecognizable anti-hero monster just to survive, pushed deeper into a bottomless dark pit and fighting to crawl out, tragedy, and deep satisfying vengeance. Killer film.

While over the top with the fight scenes this film is highly entertaining. It has it all, shot guns, knives, machine guns, ball bats and more blood than the Red Cross. Waiting for Avengement 2.

An average British revenge film which features the forever versatile Scott Adkins, some nice action scenes and gritty display. Unfortunately it doesn't feel anything new, Craig Farebasses character has hardly any backstory and we get all the previous history in Adkins. Also some scenes go on for far to long. In conclusion though, it does feel well played and thought out which is different from the generic action genre.
