The Revenger

Seen for the first time in October 2012.

This movie is terrible. But it’s terrible in a good way. It’s marvelous 80’s cheese. With cheesy 80’s saxophones and cheesy 80’s soundtrack. There is not a single good performance in this movie, though there were some funny ones. And it was incompetently made. Also the script is bad. Probably too the editing. Even the sound editing is bad. I know it’s bad, because I don’t even normally notice the sound editing of a movie.

All that said, there is also never a dull moment. Albeit, that may be because any particular not dull moment was not dull only because it was either poorly conceived, or poorly executed, or just otherwise so noticeably bad that you wonder how it wasn’t cut from the film in the first place. There is also some action to this “action-thriller,” which theoretically is not dull, but the action is often undercut by the incompetent directing. If this movie had a better commitment to exploiting its tits and ass opportunities it would be a perfect grade A cheesy ass 80’s movie. As it is, I have to score it an A-.
