a5c7b9f00b Walking home with her 12-year-old daughter after midnight on the Fourth of July, Teena crosses paths with some local losers to be brutally gang raped with her daughter Bethie watching. Bethie is able to identify the rapists, but when the rapists hire a hot shot attorney who attacks Teena&#39;s character, Dromoor, a local police officer who was first on the scene when police were called, starts to take matters into his own hands. A gulf war veteran seeks vengeance against those who assaulted a single mother. Just when I thought I had seen every horrendous movie offered online, I had the misfortune of watching &#39;Vengeance&#39;. Don&#39;t get me wrong, the plot is a good one, and perhaps with a better script, better direction and better acting it could have been decent. I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve seen Anna Hutchison (Teena) in anything before, but this may be the worst acting job ever. Her over-the-top expressions are laughable. All that being said, this may be a candidate for worst movie of 2017. What&#39;s even worse is how badly Charlene Tilton (Irma) has aged. A one star effort given an extra star for the one bright spot in the movie, Talitha Bateman (Bethie), who might go on to acting success…in spite of this movie. There is not much of anything original or unpredictable going on with this movie. It is pretty much your standard revenge flick, where the bad guys get off in court, and they are dealt with via vigilante justice.<br/><br/>There is one bright spot in the film, though. That is the performance of Talitha Batemanthe daughter. She acts in a relaxed, natural manner that is totally believable. In fact, she shows more acting ability than some of the other characters in the movie. But to be fair, there are a number of caricature roles in the movie that aren&#39;t very demanding of the actors (for example, the bad guys and their mother).<br/><br/>Bateman is young, so I hope she can find some better scripts than this in the future, and continues to growan actress. At this point, she reminds me of how Saoirse Ronan was at the same age. Ronan developed into a very good actress. I hope Bateman can do the same.
