Critic Reviews for Fighting Back (Death Vengeance)
All Critics (5) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (4)
A good deal of acting talent is wasted on negligible or disreputable material in Fighting Back.
Although the message does not get delivered with crystal clarity, the movie is fast-moving, attention-holding and even thoughtprovoking.
There's political conscience somewhere in the script which places its hero as a blood-lust racist and an opportunist politico, but it's all too easily drowned by the crowd-pleaser set pieces of 'righteous' revenge.
A muddled narrative undercuts this overly ambitious film's attempt to explore urban vigilantism, and diffuses any insights the film might have offered.
Ambitious but heavily flawed urban thriller.
Audience Reviews for Fighting Back (Death Vengeance)
Effective, if a bit silly. Skerritt is earnest, though never quite Italian.
