Based on the novel by the same name, Tony Scott's 1990 box office washout 'Revenge' is one of those films, that remain bad despite having potential. It's a interesting film, that had the potential to become to a great watch! But the screenplay is so stupid at times, that you ask yourself 'Why Is It Faltering'? '
Revenge' was remade in India twice, 1 with Shahrukh Khan called 'Koyla', and recently with Hrithik Roshan called 'Kites', which also were box office disasters. This subject, which is quite interesting in my opinion, has never found acceptance. A screenplay that never got it's place!
Scott's direction is stylish, Jeffrey L. Kimball's Camera-Work is superb. In acting, Kevin Costner is excellent, it's a performance that works big time! Anthony Quinn is terrific. Madeleine Stowe is a beauty, but does not deliver. John Leguizamo is wasted.
'Revenge' ain't bad, but the result to the screenplay has been outright rejected! For me, as said, it's a One-Time Watch!
