Revanche (2008)
7/10
Good movie but slow paced

Revanche in German means revenge. This is a revenge story of Ex-con Alex who is in love with a prostitute Tamara, and wants to escape with her after robbing a bank. But, something terrible happens which leaves Alex shattered and he seeks revenge on Policeman Robert.

This is not the usual revenge flick. In the beginning the story seems different but it takes an unusual turn. My discontent with the film is that, the film becomes too slow after the second half, and I think the film could have easily been of 20 minutes short. It would have made the film even better and fast paced.

Alex figures out that, Robert is the neighbor of his grandfather after he comes to live with his father. It makes Alex more and more anxious after he figures out. But, the way things turn out in the end is very different from the usual revenge movies I've seen. I do not have a problem with slow paced movies, but it may be a problem with some viewers.

Good film but it could have been great, had it been a bit fast.paced. There are some scenes in the second half which could have been omitted. So, I give it 6.5/10.
