Acts of Vengeance

An abrasive attorney known for rapid one liners reshapes his life after tragedy strikes his family. He commits to a brutal physical regimen and then withdraws his voice, speaking only through actions and glances. The vow of silence becomes a weapon as he tracks down the people behind his wife and daughter's deaths, insisting that words won't bring them back or reveal the truth. The plan leans on patience, discipline, and a sharpened presence rather than courtroom rhetoric. Along the way he relies on a small circle of allies and keeps a careful distance from those who would exploit his vulnerability. What follows is a tense pursuit that tests loyalty, resolve, and the meaning of justice in a crowded city.

Directed by Isaac Florentine, the movie leans into compact, edged action. It arrives from an original screenplay by Matt Venne, anchored by Antonio Banderas and Karl Urban in a procedural style. The production relies on stunt work and minimal exposition. For genre fans worldwide.

Box office figures show a modest run, with a worldwide gross around 320,705 against a 10 million budget. The release largely targeted genre audiences in select markets and venues rather than a wide theatrical push, hitting on demand platforms.

As for recognition, the film did not receive any major awards nominations or wins. Critics generally treated it as a straightforward action thriller with a focus on stunt work and performance rather than prestige. The lack of awards underscores its status as a mid level genre piece.

Reception was mixed but the action sequences earned praise for timing and realism, and Banderas delivers a focused performance. The film centers on a vow of silence, the cost of vengeance, and the way power shifts when force replaces chatter. Some critics praised Florentine's pacing and choreographic clarity throughout scenes.
