What to Know

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.

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 05/24/2019
"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. Go to Full Review Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly 05/24/2019

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. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 05/24/2019
Portraying his most complex character to date, Adkins delivers a ferocious turn that proves visceral in its emotional as well as physical intensity. Go to Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See 06/30/2020

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. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 04/04/2020
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. Go to Full Review Luke Whiston TheShiznit.co.uk 01/08/2020
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dean F @DFtheTruth Jul 25 One of the best revenge action movies ever with action scenes that will forever be in your memory. The protagonist is amazing and almost makes the rest of the cast look bad which works in this movie. See more Jordan P @Jordanflickmaster May 17 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. See more Nate S @RT66425271 May 8 amazing brutal action definitely top 5 scott adkins movies See more Pongo K @RT48921889 Jan 19 Not an Oscar, but worth your time. C it! See more Martin K @Martin885 Sep 27 Super Film! Erinnert an alte Belmondo oder Bronson Streifen. Coole Filmmusik! See more Robert T @RT70963987 07/16/2025 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. See more Read all reviews
