Celluloid Verdict
Billed as the most expensive action film in Mexican history, Venganza delivers genuinely elevated, John Wick-caliber stunt work and a committed against-type performance from Omar Chaparro, but critics agree the character work never catches up to the technical spectacle.

What is Venganza about?
Carlos Estrada, a decorated Mexican special-forces veteran, watches his life collapse when his wife is murdered by a ruthless criminal network. A sudden windfall gives him the resources to reinvent himself as Capitán Toro, arming a private strike team of former soldiers to hunt down everyone responsible, no matter the cost.

Critic Reviews
Venganza Review: Mexico's Biggest Action Movie Nails the Stunts, Skips the Story
★★½☆☆
Omar Chaparro trades comedy for combat in a revenge thriller with genuinely first-rate action and a script that can't keep pace with it.
Spectacular stunts, thin story.
