Righteous Villains (2020) User Reviews

Toodle-Loo

[nogodnomasters · 2/10 · 1 February 2021]

Jeremiah (Jamie Crew ) and Jolie (Lois Brabin-Platt ) are rare descendants from the Essene of Dead Sea Scrolls fame which they pronounce as "Essence." The world is run by The New World Order who sacrifices and eats babies. They are offered a monetary reward to rescue a child from their island in order to save the world. Everyone knows them as Saints.

The winged angels on the DVD look cool, but they never appear in the story and neither does the neat sword. The characters are not good and the plot is nothing more than a conspiracy theory, similar to the one promoted by Qanon. Jolie's brash demeanor was the only thing entertaining.

Guide: F-word. Nudity. No sex.

Accurate portrayal of the New World Order

[dstilt07 · 4/10 · 30 April 2021]

Amazingly accurate portrayal of the New World Order. Not all accurate, yet the general thrust amazing. Surprised that it was allowed to be made. Decent enough screen play. Decent B grade acting.

Don't waste your time on this

[baduffe · 1/10 · 16 October 2021]

This movie was a directionless, meandering, hot mess of burning garbage, don't waste your time. The only positive thing I can say for it is, at under 75 minutes you won't actually be wasting too much time if you're tricked into watching it. Lame story, boring characters, lead like pacing, and ultimately, you don't care about anybody in the movie, so you won't care how it ends.

Audacious and outrageous

[Woodyanders · 8/10 · 4 November 2021]

A group of Devil followers known as the Illuminated kidnap a small boy with the power to save mankind. It's up to unlikely Christ disciples Jolie (a spot-on sassy and lively performance by Lois Brabin-Platt) and Jeremiah (sharply played by Jamie Crew) to save the boy before it's too late.

Writer/director Savvas D. Michael the enjoyably loopy story at a brisk pace, maintains a no-holds-barred bold and confrontational tone throughout, presents a neat array of colorful characters, and takes plenty of fiercely mocking satirical pot shots at woke cancel culture. Moreover, Adam Deacon has a field day as a super suave incarnation of Satan while Steven Berkoff is a total hoot as Jeremiah's demented grandfather. A wickedly twisted treat.

Seriously weird, I guess I like weird

[jakejohnsonmoore · 7/10 · 28 January 2021]

To best describe this movie, for me it was style and content mixture of 'Eyes wide Shut' and Shawn of the Dead. It took me about 30 min before I got to grip with plot and once I did boy what a ride. I was thrown into a world of demons, secret societies, debauchery and redemption. Some of the scenes were so disturbing an obscene you might rock yourself to sleep in a corner, if like me you will holding belly in laughter. Enjoy and strap in!

Awestruck

[moviebossmb · 9/10 · 22 January 2021]

Visually Stunning, unpredictable, and incredibly intense. Perfect casting and sub plots and locations. Scarily close to the bone on key social and religious tensions all around us. Authentic, gripping and thought provoking.

Surprising alternative

[handspup · 7/10 · 10 July 2021]

Speak the truth & shame the devil. In the case of this movie we are all pressed for our own truth shaming. I found myself following along with the characters to discover the plot with the expectation of already knowing the outcome. The actors are great, very believable as they reveal themselves to be inward looking and outwards commanding in their performance. I can't say anything offended me by this movie; it's simple, direct, and fun to watch. If there is a secret about world order that secret isn't revealed in this film. Just allow yourself to have fun with 'ol Scratch.

Sisters get it Done

[janejennings · 8/10 · 22 January 2021]

YES YES YES please. This is a fantastic thriller with a fresh authentic take on dichotomy of free speech and censorship. Set to the backdrop of wacky ,visually fantastic fantasy world, our heroes Jolie and Jeremiah try to save a world that may not deserve saving.

Viewers beware, don't let your granny watch:)

[sherylmehmet · 7/10 · 22 January 2021]

This film tries very hard to shock you too think, and you will. lots of subplot and hidden depth. Not for the easily Offended!

Extraordinary

[filmgurufuru · 9/10 · 28 January 2021]

Get yourself strapped in guys this has the makings of a cult classic. Its definitely not a predictable movie and takes about 30 minutes for the concept to kick in. Though once this supernatural Thriller with fantastic twist takes grip of you a thrown into world of cults, debauchery, secret societies and redemption.

Interesting Take on the New World Order

[rebeltaz-18705 · 7/10 · 12 June 2022]

Let me start by saying that I watched this because of the cover. The angel was not in this at all - not the character, not the weapons.. not a single angel. That is enough to lose a star in my opinion.

Anyway, the movie itself is weird, strange, odd and yet interesting. The depiction of the New World Order is pretty spot on - or at least what they want to be. The characters were hard to understand sometimes because of the thick British accents, but ... I like a good Cockney accent :) I'm not sure what the grandfather's role in all of this is/was, but maybe that's just me. If you enjoy a good movie with religious undertones - in this case overtly so - this is for you.

Righteous watch

[dcronin-60829 · 9/10 · 28 January 2021]

I really enjoyed this film,I watched it a week ago and I am still thinking about it. Its set in a surreal world and follows two unlikely heroes, Jolie and Jeremiah as they battle to save us from the forces of darkness. The Plot is straight froward enough, buts the tense psychological unwinding of the Jolie and Jeremiah is fantastically insightful and wonderfully portrayed by Director Savvas D Michaels. Loved it

Sensational Human Drama........ terrific thrills and suspenseful

[bobbyrainard · 9/10 · 28 January 2021]

I was on the edge of my seat through out the whole film, some breaks in the suspense for some clever human and still absolutely nail biting. Watch out for 7 stages of hell scene visually fantastic and permanently etched in my minds eye. Thoroughly recommend for everyone to take trip into the surreal world of Righteous Villains
