Plot

In suburban Georgia, family man and former marine William Duncan (Clive Standen) is out to pick up dinner with his 16-year-old daughter, Kat (Maddie Nichols), a softball player with dreams of playing professionally. While William retrieves the food, Kat is left in the car, where she is killed by brothers Rory (Theo Rossi) and Danny (Cabot Basden), on behalf of their father, kingpin Donnie (Bruce Willis). They are soon arrested by the authorities, but William rigs the court to fail, allowing Danny to go free. William elects to stalk and kill Danny the following night. Enraged, Donnie and Rory embark on a revenge path to eliminate William. Failing in their mission, William eventually kills Rory and Donnie.

Rene Rodriguez of Variety gave a negative review, saying, "the body count starts to mount. So do the implausibilities, along with the boredom."[11] Brian Costello of Common Sense Media also gave a negative review, saying, "when the most earnest and compelling performance in a movie is turned in by Sir Mike Tyson, you know you're in trouble."[12]

Box office

As of February 17, 2023, Vendetta grossed $175,173 in the United Arab Emirates, Russia, and South Korea.[2]
