From the very second you hit that play button, the action gets rolling in Avengement. Things get going when Cain Burgess (Scott Adkins), a small-time criminal, finds himself in a sticky situation. He’s been betrayed and thrown into one of the UK's roughest prisons — not ideal.
While locked up, he deals with non-stop beatings and hardship that slowly thickens his skin. It’s not long before he’s moulded into a cold-hearted killer. The brutality goes on for years, and with each passing moment, Cain gets fired up and ready to break free. During a quick visit outside prison, the lowly criminal evades his guards and makes a run for it.
As soon as Cain escapes, he bee-lines for a pub that his old crew run. He confronts ghosts from the past, including Luke Lafontaine (Craig Fairbrass) and Mark Strange (played by himself). Here’s when one of the most gory fight scenes kicks off. He’s not just here to get revenge, but answers, too.
Avengement isn’t a film for the faint-hearted, so squeamish people should avoid it at all costs. But, if you’re anything like us and love a bit of gore, it’s the perfect thriller movie. It will definitely get your heart racing and adrenaline flowing.
There are a few streaming platforms, including Netflix (subscription), Amazon Video (rent/buy), Google Play (rent/buy), and Apple TV (rent/buy). You can stream it via smartphone, smart TV, tablet, and computer/laptop.
Avengement is definitely not for children, let’s just clear that up first. If you’ve got youngsters aged under 18, we strongly advise against letting them watch Avengement — it’s officially rated 18+. Spy Kids (2001), Big Hero 6 (2014), and The Incredibles (2004) are some of our top-picks for alternative kid-friendly action.
Yes. If we could summarise this film in just one word, gory is probably the one we’d pick. Two of the key themes in this film are gore and graphic violence. Blood, shattered bones, head-spinning punches, and a whole lot of dead bodies are exactly the type of thing you’ll see.
It absolutely is, but only if you’re into action-packed revenge thrillers, Avengement (2019) is definitely a top pick. It’s got all the important stuff an action film needs: strong character development, insane fight scenes, endless tension, and grit. But be warned — it’s not for the faint-hearted.
When it comes to bone-crushing gore, it’s safe to say this movie doesn’t hold back at all. So, if you’ve not got the stomach for it, you might want to pick a different movie. But if violence packed with brutal punches is your thing, you’ll have a field day with this one!
If you’re on the hunt for another film like Avengement, we’ve got some solid suggestions for you.
Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs (1992) will definitely satisfy your craving if you’re looking for a gritty, bone-crunching action. Want a taste of organised crime thrills? Guy Ritchie’s Snatch (2000) hits the spot. Or, maybe you fancy some good old cold-blooded revenge? If so, go for Gareth Evans’ The Raid (2011).
