A Soldier's Revenge (I) (2020) User Reviews

Long, boring, predictable

[moonkey-642-450073 · 3/10 · 8 July 2020]

I watched this movie because it had high rating on IMDB. It was my mistake. I don't know what is worse, scenario, direction or acting. But the result is not satisfying. Not at all.

Dont' be fooled by high rating bots in the reviews!

[suripat · 4/10 · 5 July 2020]

I found at least 8 bots with one week of imdb as users, rating this movie as 9 or 10. This movie is awful and does not deserve nothing over 4. Check yourself and rate it accordingly in order to teach a lesson to fake reviewers.

Where did such a high rating come from?

[knyrz · 2/10 · 15 July 2020]

I am really surprised how bad this film is. Poor acting, poor direction, poor everything ... Don't waste your time.

A complete snore

[hiding35 · 2/10 · 15 July 2020]

Turned it off at the 45 min mark as enough of my time had been wasted.

Time Saved

[dcarroll74 · 1/10 · 22 July 2020]

The first 5 minutes of the movie told me all I needed to know. It's crap, pure and simple. I've seen 6 year olds act better. I saved 2 hours and 15 minutes I can use on watching something better.

Not Recommended 👎

[TheNonSmoker · 1/10 · 19 July 2020]

A garbage revenge, is the perfect title for this movie 👍

So very bad

[onyxrecruitment · 1/10 · 1 August 2020]

Acting is so terrible. It's hard to describe how bad the acting is. It's like a primary school decided to put on a play.

The script is even worse and the plot makes no sense.

Total B movie

[gimmeanr · 17 August 2020]

The hero wasn't Terrible he just had nothing to work with, Kilmer is unrecognizable at best and adds horrible awkwardness, McCord is obviously a model with 0 talent, just wondering who she slept with, must've been Pfiefer? Busey is obviously B movie actor, disappointed. Movie has no redeeming qualities at all. Absolutely like a teenager made a bad western.

I have not like me thinks it deserves a better overall rating

[lindasue-50133 · 6/10 · 11 June 2023]

I thought the story was decent, the acting adequate, and the scenery stunning.

Compared to some of the other tripe I've seen, this should get a much better rating and comparison. A little of the acting was weak , but just from one or two of the incidental cast.

I'm not sure how (not being a screenwriter), but I think the writing could have been tweaked to made us care more about the supporting cast. It definitely made me hate the antagonist, and made me feel sympathy for the protagonist, but I think stronger writing of the other characters would have bolstered this movie quite a lot.

Some scenes were just far too dragged out, and in the first 15 minutes I'd already fast forwarded through most of it. That always worries me.

However, the story was good enough that I wanted to know how it ends. Good to see Val Kilmer sticking with the craft.

Fake, bot reviews & ratings

[starcraftbw88 · 2/10 · 3 August 2020]

Boring, nonsensical story. I lasted to almost the 2-hour mark. No build-up of anything, no attachment to any of the characters, silly dialogue. Avoid.

THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY

[grahamvr · 8/10 · 13 August 2022]

What can I say about this movie, first if it had been 30 minutes shorter I felt the story could have been less drawn out. In saying that I found it a remarkable story of the old west. War and violence dominated that era and the way people treated each other in many cases was with violence and abuse. Today's society with guns blazing in the USA almost feels like these days are well on the way to returning.

Most of the performers carried out their roles suitable to the way characters in the West were. I have loved westerns all my life and there have been good ones and bad ones but the West was like that......the good, the bad and the ugly.

Most of the reviews I have read here saying this movie was so bad obviously have not researched the history of the West as I have. I have also worked in the entertainment industry most of my life and have viewed much more boring films than this. Today even many of what is streaming is so much worse.

All I can say to conclude is, if you don't like westerns then don't bother to watch them. Congratulations to cast and crew on giving me the opportunity to witness this devastating story.

Very slow

[pmpiscitelli · 3/10 · 4 January 2021]

This movie is very slow to start and it's tempting to fast forward through parts. The mild excitement starts in the last 30 minutes of the movie. There are no good action scenes and even the flashbacks are pretty bland. The acting is not very good and the plot is vague for most of the film. Most people would probably stop watching halfway but I was curious how it would end. I was hoping for a decent western movie but this wasn't one.

Really really bad

[dsipho-64561 · 1/10 · 2 January 2021]

For sure bots must have been used to create good reviews. The correct rating is 1 star. I am so angry I wasted an hour watching this rubbish. It gets worse the more you watch, so take my advice and don't watch more than 10 min, just to see how really bad a modern movie can be.

Terrible

[nuff-58995 · 2/10 · 28 July 2020]

Boring and acting was horrible ....I couldn't finish watching it.

Shocker

[bforbrett · 1/10 · 3 November 2020]

Terrible acting, couldn't get a grip on the storyline, lasted an hour (only because I wasn't able to pay full attention). Do yourself a favour and find something else to watch.

What??

[grey-70054 · 1/10 · 16 January 2021]

Best actors were the 2 mules pulling the stagecoach. Some seriously horrible garbage.

Worst Two hours of my life

[wouterscarl-56882 · 1/10 · 30 October 2021]

How bad can you make a movie. Bad acting and bad story! Incredible how you can even write a script like this one.

There is no flow in the movie, crazy slow, just running around in circles with the most stupid ending ever.

Don't know what is the worst part

[paul_d_gavin · 1/10 · 21 December 2020]

I seriously can't tell you what is worse - plot, dialogue, acting, soundtrack or the fact it is allowed to be shown on Prime.

highly recommend!

[jessicav1704 · 10/10 · 24 June 2020]

Great story line! had me very engaged throughout the whole film!

Juvenile

[saltye-71910 · 1/10 · 13 December 2020]

Not worth the powder to blow ot to hell. The actors should have been paid about a buck each.

Truly awful.

[gbftl · 1/10 · 14 December 2020]

I wonder how much money was wasted in making this trash? Pathetic and boring, bad acting and even dips below the mark of amateur.

Terrible

[Rigorouswatcher · 2/10 · 7 August 2021]

Plot so bad no one went to the trouble to add the plot to the Wikipedia page.

Watched less than 20mins.

how slow they have made this

[ops-52535 · 3/10 · 13 June 2020]

Its a clear b-movie, loas of cowboys a renegades, with neiter cow or guts. meaness it has but at a shallow depth, the story aint good, the acting likewise, and the big miss in contrary to qverwhelmingly made westerns is the choice of score. my childhood memories wher either a decent symphonical or a crude steelguitar based score. here its just a cheap meeeow of a synthizeiser, that trashes the golden transition from scene to scene.

its a blur of close up shooting camera angles, and use of focus is almost absent.the cast would have impressed me if they had it in their eyes but they dont. thats why clint'ern caught his audience, you wont be caught by this.

playtime here are 137 minutes, coulve been easily compressed into 85 mins without a problem, so here its quantity over quality believe me. inexperience deluxe from the director and editors, make this sub western saga a blimp and no more than that.

its made for the cowboy nerds, and the cast and crews families, a weak 3 for stamina from the grumpy old man saying that watching a bit of bonaza wouldnt hurt. its pretty decent compared to this. recomende?no.

Terrible!!!

[bardarebbekita · 1/10 · 6 November 2020]

Please don't waste time watching this movie I am surprised how this movie got 6.1 ratings..It is really bad scene,storyline and bad acting😔

Slow

[omgakeem · 3/10 · 1 December 2020]

I like a good Western, this is a Western but it misses the good part. It is very slow and I hate computer generated fake gun fire but I know it's cheaper and safer but it looks so bad. As for the actors I did not care for the two children or their mother, everyone else is ok. Good to see Val Kilmer in the film, hard to believe he was Batman now he's an old grandpa. I think I understood the story line, as for watching it I'm not saying yes or no, I watched it once and that was enough.
