Review of Revenge

Revenge (I) (2000)
7/10
Much better than I expected.
12 November 2002
In spite of some obvious flaws, notably an over-the-top villainess (whom I still found myself rooting for), this film kept my total attention from start to finish.

Negative note: why does anyone cast Anthony Michael Hall as anything other than a corpse in a box?

The storytelling is good, the direction crisp, and Alexandra Paul is a pleasant surprise to me (sorry, I never watched Baywatch or Melrose Place - to me, Tom & Jerry cartoons had much greater entertainment value. Hey, what can I say? I'm a guy).

My recommendation: kick back, relax and enjoy. It's better-than-average entertainment, and didn't strain my aging brain cells. And Alexandra is very easy on the eyes.
