Churlish and smug, Vengeance Unlimited punishes viewers for the crime of tuning in, even though Michael Madsen is ideal casting as an intimidating vigilante.

If you're finding Friends unfunny and can't abide the treacle of Promised Land, then Vengeance Unlimited may be a pleasantly diabolical Thursday-night surprise. Go to Full Review
Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch 04/05/2023
Vengeance Unlimited is shamelessly manipulative, feeding on the same sense of universal injustice that fuels militias and terrorism. The writing is lame and the acting melodramatic. Go to Full Review
Tom Shales Washington Post 07/15/2019
