Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See Jun 30, 2020 A

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.

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.

Avengement can rightfully claim to be the hardest hitting British action thriller for years, provided you don't take it too seriously and just enjoy it for what it is - a ridiculously entertaining thrill ride

Putting the middle finger to originality, narrative coherence, and deserving humor is Johnson.

Patrick Bromley F This Movie! May 24, 2019

This is a hard-hitting movie, the kind where the violence is stylized less so that it looks cool and more so that you feel every blow. I got bruises just watching it.

"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.

As Cain's story goes on and on ... we realize just how hollow all of this is.

Technically, Adkins isn't flying around as much as Cain but honestly, he's still so fast that you don't really feel Adkins is holding back.

There's really no downside to this continued collaboration and the rate at which it blesses us.

... Avengement is a crackling, bone-crunching crime drama which advocates that action films are best left to the professionals.

Avengement is... a streamlined monster giving Adkins a ferocious role to sink his teeth into and gnaw on until the bone is showing.
