Vengeance (2004)
This movie portrays how futile and destructive vengeance can be.
This review contains some information about the plot, `spoilers'.
Because it explores some very strong emotions and the battles with addictions (of all types) many of us face, "Vengeance" is a very intense movie! While this story involves `gangbangers' and drug pushers, the emotion of anger leading to the deep desire to get revenge is an emotion all of us, in all stations of life, must deal with. This movie portrays how futile and destructive vengeance can be.
A very strong performance is given by Danny Romo, as Danny Pinero, an assassin who survives a near fatal shooting. Having experienced a `near death' experience, Danny turns to Christian religious conversion and completely kicks his drug habit. However, he still is driven to vengeance when his beloved daughter, Danielle, played by Erlinda Orozco, is murdered by her abusive boyfriend, Alexandro, menacingly well portrayed by Lorenzo De La Cruz. Raul Julia, Jr. plays Detective Marin, who is instrumental in Danny's recovery from drug addiction.
I look forward to seeing this movie again when it comes out in video. Watch for the cute female paramedic, played by Paras Alexandria.
