revved up for Revenge
8 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Instantly engaging. I'm, as usual, late for it, but watching on DVD is The Way To Go, so I'm just glad I've got the whole thing, all four seasons, bought simply because the box covers drew my attention, the research backed them up, and I did happen to see Emily VanCamp in a small but pivotal part in one of my all-time favorite movies, LOST AND DELIRIOUS. So, I knew I had to have it. Yesterday, was quite surprised to see Ashley Madekwe in it as well, I know her as Bambi in SECRET DIARY OF A CALL GIRL, a British show. Which I highly recommend as well. As for Madeleine Stowe, she dates back years and years, most notably STAKEOUT and BAD GIRLS and even a Kevin Costner movie called REVENGE as well. Supermodel Amber Valetta is here too. Never seen her in a movie. Of course, being RavenGlamDVDCollector, I've already singled out Crista B. Allen as one to really, really drool over... The kid looks delicious in her string bikini!

It threw me at the beginning that we go back six months, and then we do not return to the present. The first bit is like a teaser, we see what is eventually going to happen. That is actually like one big immense season spoiler, but okay, we are all in the same boat, that's the way the story is told.

Emily VanCamp is not only beautiful, but clearly a terrific actress. Well, d-uh, of course! Her facial expressions are a joy to behold. Secretly gloating, feigning innocence, scheming inwardly...

It is so obvious that it is not the Daniel character lying there dead. This cannot count as a giveaway for I haven't watched anything further on, but I am pretty sure there's just gonna be some twist up ahead, for the guy lies face-down.

Great viewing pleasure up ahead! To everybody out there, pretty girls in a murder mystery set in a picturesque location, you can't go wrong with this.
