My Name Is Vendetta (2022)

An impressive international film by a newb filmmaker.

[8/10 · 5 December 2022]

This is Italian-Film Production Designer Cosimo Gomez's third dabble as director and (co)writer, and it was more entertaining than expected. In this overused genre, there were some decent stand-out scenes (e.g. The head-shot through the cell phone was brilliant) and a nice twist to the crime-family dynamics - namely the daughter who has to learn and adapt to play her part alongside her mafioso father. A few plot issues aside, the writing was very cohesive with great continuity. The 90 min runtime flew by with excellent pacing. There was the perfect amount of family dynamics, a coming-of-age per se story, and action to keep you glued to the screen. The cinematography and score were great, and all casting and performances convincing. It's a fun and entertaining little gem by a newb writer and director.
