Where to Watch Fistful of Vengeance
- jackmeatAugust 24, 2025My quick rating - 5.0/10. Do all Interpol agents show up dressed ready for a rave, such as Katrina Grey? Some really nice camerawork in this one. It is really difficult to score a movie that looks so damn good this low. I know I am giving it a mediocre score, but that is REALLY generous since the elements that aren't choreographed, such as acting and story, are just plain awful. I wasn't even aware of this being related to a canceled show called WU Assassins, which is also available now on Netflix. But from what I have read, it doesn't do any justice to the show. I immediately recognized Lewis Tan from the Mortal Kombat redux and Jason Tobin from Warrior, so I was expecting a lot better. But if you strip out the fight scenes from this, you aren't left with much. Plus, they had to shove superhero powers into the mix when it really wasn't necessary, and made it even more of a mess for the writers to make coherent. I immediately went from watching intently at just how well crafted the action was to then laughing at just how stupid it became, and that happened over and over. Maybe in the sequel, they'll spend some time on a story to make all the eye candy worth it.
