The Wrath of God (2022) User Reviews

When eye for an eye isn't enough

[cool_andhot · 7/10 · 23 November 2022]

I love Spanish thrillers. This amazing Argentinean film is dark and beautifully directed.

The movie is not linear , may be that is reason people did not give good rates. Because most of the people now wants to be spoon fed.

The movie goes back and forth abruptly may confuse you little but that is actually get interesting when you get in to the flow. You will be glued until the end to know was it murder or just bad luck or act of god.

I am still not sure if I am with the girl or with the writer. I wasn't happy about the ending but still I loved it. The dialogues are so well written, so even the english translation was good.

Watch it if you like a good psychological thriller.

An eye for an eye...

This is a story of revenge. A slow and painful revenge.

Peretti is a great actor and he is superb in his role.

I liked the way the story is told but I didn't like the ending.

What happened here?

[LauraAnnG · 20 June 2022]

I like international works and was happy to find this on Netflix. Perhaps my first Argentinian piece.

It is not great. It was not bad enough To not watch the entire movie. It's only 90 minutes and the plot seemed to move along okay. In other words it kept my attention. There is some bouncing around on the timeline so there were points I was a little confused, but I eventually sorted that out.

I found the lead character (Kloster) truly unlikable. By the end of the movie I was having almost a visceral reaction to him.

The other two primary leads are similarly unpleasant. None of these three are at all sympathetic and so the end (which throws in a surprise) left me cold and unsatisfied.

It is interesting that in the same weekend I watched this movie I also watched Spiderhead, which is fantastic. Of the two there is no comparison. They are not in the same league.

Watch Spiderhead and if you have time to waste give this one a try.

Reviews need review

The movie theme hinges on the wife reading the letter from the lawyer on him getting sued for sexual Harrasment because that provided the tragic motivation for the suicide and the murders.

The moral question to ask was? Is the sexual harassment case justified and did she give him signals. Did it have to escalate when she could of said no to the kiss or rationally just said it was a mistake and moved on. She obviously had feelings for him and religious guilt. A preacher's daughter should forgive but I can see why he did not forgive her after her being a catalyst for the suicidal death of his demented wife and tragic manslaughter of his daughter.

The ending was a surprise and it was worth watching if you enjoy trying to predict endings to psychological thrillers and you will be surprised.

brutal thriller that gets lost

[thewalkingpuns · 5/10 · 20 June 2022]

This film was alright. But it got a bit lost halfway through and things started seeming a bit confusing. I understand what was going on it was just the way it was done. I did however enjoy the acting and still thought it was a good watch but the lead it took could've gone a lot better.

End leaves you high and dry

[harineem-209-525488 · 5/10 · 18 June 2022]

Well paced thriller with good performance but whats the point of spending that much time watching to find the main question is still unanswered at the end. The answers are never given and the central character the writer is a really disgusting character who never acknowledges that it was his own careless behaviour which destroyed his family not the poor girl who filed a genuine lawsuit. The director never shows even one character make the point that it was never ever Luciana's fault but the writers who left a kid alone with unbalanced woman. The pace kept me watching only to have a disappointing end where the questions remain as open as ever. What a wasted effort!

Boring, Predictable & Stupid!

[hileher · 3/10 · 17 June 2022]

Those are the three words to describe this movie.

When I watched the trailer, it looked to be an interesting movie and I was really looking forward to it. But it could have been easily avoided!

I could guess what was going to happen from the get-go. The ending was just as obvious. The acting was extremely tiring and tedious, like as if the actors were also putting up with this movie the same way the viewers were!

Give it a miss unless you have time to kill and nothing else to watch!

Very boring with a very silly plot

[nicorip22 · 2/10 · 27 June 2022]

I think this movie is very bad, although the plot seemed promising, it ends up being predictable and very silly. You know what happens the whole movie and at the end it almost ends without a conclusion, all very bad. I expected something else, especially with Diego Peretti in the cast.

Deserves appreciation

[hiroM84 · 8/10 · 17 June 2022]

Not knowing what it was I binge watched this movie. It wasn't a waste of time. I like psychologycal thrillers and this is one of the better ones. It's not too ,,scary,, but still makes you bang your head in the wall time to time. I recommend it to the ones who liked The girl on the train, Thelma or Sightless. You do have to have a certain taste to appreciate the movie as it is but you definitely should try.

Plodding

[powerdude-2 · 2/10 · 17 June 2022]

#1. The "Story Line" associated with this movie has absolutely NOTHING to do with the plot. Don't even bother to read it.

#2. It is very hard to keep interested in watching this piece. It is boring and jumbled. I gave 2 stars because it's in color.

Absolute waste of time.

[fbaltagiannis · 1/10 · 20 June 2022]

This movie is boring, nothing makes sense. The acting is borderline acceptable but the pacing and the plot are just preposterous. There is nothing logical in the sequence of events that took place in this film.

FAIL-Extremely unsatisfying

[Darryl1127-1 · 3/10 · 17 August 2022]

I'm hoping I've caught you before you hit play!!! This movie was a massive failure in the attempt to create an antihero. This had all the right ingredients to make a great thriller. Apparently that wasn't the goal because every one of these ingredients was mishandled. Very disappointing.

WARNING Do not watch this film , WORST ENDING of a film.. EVER!! HORRIBLE!!

[joiningjt · 1/10 · 28 June 2022]

Forget the plot holes that are so numerous you cant count or that are so big you could almost fit Trumps ego in them ( I said almost) but this film has BY FAR the worst ending EVER you finally get to the end and itll piss you off. I'm not going to give it away I'm just telling you now DONT WATCH it the film has No pay off has no redeeming quality at all my wife and I both looked at each other and said OMG DID THAT suck what horrible negative person wrote that garbage. Watch something with a better ending like exorcist or the conjuring!! This SUCKED!! It's a negative 10.

Dull

[manugw · 5/10 · 19 June 2022]

The choosing by Netflix of Argentine premium male actors Peretti and Minujin to attract viewers could not make up for the wasting of a good script into a poor screenplay. Does not convey emotions, and the dramatism required in some scenes does not show up either. Dull. It is a one dimensional cardboard flick all the way.

Very intriguing thriller.

[JackInColumbia · 8/10 · 10 July 2022]

I literally can not understand the very negative reviews people are giving. It seems that they are so accustomed to american-made superhero movies/series, that they can not watch something different or foreign. This movie has all the elements (plot, acting, atmosphere, plot twists) that render it a very enjoyable watch. Well done.

Boredom bored itself

[iris6580 · 2/10 · 21 June 2022]

Lately it seems that there are no good thriller films! Utterly boring and no interest in finishing it! Reading the plot i became interested and did not watch the trailer but at first 15 minutes i completely lost interest! Dull and the actors did not have any nerve or acting skill!

Very disappointing!

[deidra_x · 1/10 · 16 June 2022]

How could this movie be called the wrath of God. What sort of perception of God do the writers have to make a hopeless film like this! The title misleads what actually happens in this movie. Evil prevailed in this movie. God's wrath doesn't destroy the innocent. If I'm to judge this movie on the title, it was horrible!

Great Point

[albertval-69560 · 8/10 · 18 June 2022]

This could be a disconcerting film to some especially those who want a clear-cut ending. Some viewers might have expected quite a different outcome.

There is no quarrel about this stance. But what the film is trying to convey is that, in real life, what seems straightforward is not necessarily so. Could it be a streak of bad luck, a string of coincidences?

It's a well-scripted film. It's engaging and the viewer is hooked to find out how it will end. It was a surprise ending but something that is totally plausible.

The main actors dish out subdued and limned performances. Macarena Achaga, Diego Peretti and Juan Mimijin deserve praise.

The film makes you think of its basic point: is perfect revenge possible? It's apropos that it makes use of Odile and Odette as a cinematic device all the more to illustrate what we take for granted: that good and evil exist in this life.

Wrath of reviewer

[Thepunjabiviewer · 1/10 · 26 June 2022]

To be fare to the director the plot of movie was awesome . The one star is for that . Other then that it's flat senile storytelling, plot holes are plenty and there is no character arc. It is more of a abuser making the film for sake of documenting his abusement. There is no twist no change in direction of the story .

Pure trash

[msorik · 1/10 · 24 August 2022]

The writer should never write again and the parties that brought it to screen should never work again also....sickening really. Some peoples mind are way to disturbing and people that enable this type of writing are all in the same boat... there are some movies that leave a true expression on you and this is one of those...truly evil minds at work these days...

My best revenge film ever

[tp-40455 · 10/10 · 21 April 2023]

The film poses thought-provoking questions about the morality and consequences of taking matters into one's own hands, and the price one must pay for seeking revenge.

It is a riveting exploration of the concept of revenge, skillfully crafted and emotionally resonant. It is a thought-provoking and captivating film that delves into the complexities of the human condition, showcasing the devastating consequences and moral dilemmas of seeking revenge. Whether you are a fan of revenge films or not, this film will leave you pondering the nature of justice, the price of revenge, and the limits of human morality.

Don't waste your time!

[tulsabiker · 1/10 · 20 July 2022]

I never write reviews but wanted to make a special effort for this film. There is no plot, no point, & Definitely no redeeming value. The ending is abrupt and leaves the viewers feeling dissatisfied & like they just wasted two hours of their life. This film is nothing but a piece of trash.

Worst movie ever

[coloreta · 1/10 · 18 June 2022]

Flat Plot. Boring. The story lack of rhythm and hook. Don't waste your precious time seen this sad movie. Don't have any more to say to fullfill 150 characters.

It tries to make a point, but fails miserably

[gabycmonteiro · 4/10 · 1 July 2022]

This film tries to be interesting, and somewhat physcological and dark. But honestly? It fails miserably. And it tries to make a point about coincidences and casualty in life...but instead, you get a boring story, and a frustrating pointless ending.

Extremely underwhelming - terribly wasted potential

[vukkovacevic-96293 · 1/10 · 12 January 2023]

The only good thing about this movie is the acting. Aside from the fact that all the actors did a superb job, their acting was wasted in a criminally bad and dumb storyline. This is not about not having a happy ending, the ending is even worse than "sad"...From minute one till the end, it's just evil, bad, unfair and unjust things are happening, and there is no redemption, revenge, counter balance...It is ok for a movie not to have a happy ending, but at least some semblance of justice would have been nice. Definitely a movie that i would never watch again, or recommend to anyone, in the same ballpark as The Blair witch project...
