Critics Consensus

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
Has a certain thuggish charm... The idea that somebody is out there to right the many wrongs of the criminal justice system is a comforting fantasy, and Vengeance Unlimited puts it over, albeit in quite a limited way. Go to Full Review Ellen Gray Philadelphia Daily News 04/05/2023
