My Name Is Vendetta movie review
An ordinary story idea
Honestly, in terms of story idea, this movie is nothing special. Story ideas like these often come up. Call it some Liam Neeson movie called Taken, or even the movie Peppermint, starring the beauty Jennifer Garner.
Although the plot is slightly different, the premise of the story is still about revenge for the murder of his family. So honestly, the ending of this movie is predictable.
But what’s interesting is that instead of protecting the child, Santo teaches his son how to defend himself. It’s something that’s different enough from most other movies to make it more interesting.
Beautiful scene
Although the story idea is quite ordinary, it must be admitted that this film by director Cosimo Gomez is quite eye-catching with the presence of some beautiful scenes.
Using the wide-angle technique, Gomez tries to bring out the beauty of the European mountains while also showing the relationship between father and son, namely Santo and Sofia.
Convincing acting from Gineva Francesconi
No less interesting in this film is the appearance of young actress Gineva Francesconi. Only 19 years old, but Gineva is already in great shape in this action movie.
Although she does not have much experience in acting, Gineva can prove her expertise when transforming into the character of a teenage girl who is a master of martial arts.
My Name is Vendetta doesn’t offer much new in the context of story ideas. But the packaging of this film is quite neat with beautiful cinematography and the acting of the actors is quite eye-catching. So this movie is quite interesting to watch in your spare time. Interested in watching it?
