Rendel: Dark Vengeance_360P

Ya know, I wish we could comment on other's Comments! Because there are SO many Really Bright, and to the point Reviewers on here, people that don't spend an ENTIRE movie just trying to find Fault in it. They can't just go I to a movie with an Open Mind and Judge it accordingly! There's MANY things involved in reviewing a Movie, to ME, 1st and foremost I look at the Budget! Low Budget does NOT mean BAD FILM, it just means they had to work a HELLUVA lot harder to produce their End Product. They don't have the luxury of 10 or 15 "Takes", most of the time they have to shoot the scene once and move on whether it's good or not due to budget constraints, the same with effects... But if the premise is good, and the storyline is good and the actors do the very best they can do nine out of 10 times they put out a really good movie! But you have to be able to look past the low budget, and the flaws! This is a REALLY good Movie! I LOVED it and if you can match the above criteria, and not going in already to look for the bad, you can allow yourself to enjoy a LOT more! GREAT Flick! Give it a Whirl!

Some sinister corporation has developed a vaccine for developing countries. The place is run by the evil boss and his partying dumber son who's supposed to take the reigns of the corporation. In town though there is a vigilante going after bad guys who by accident starts to get closer and closer to the corporation. But there is a pretty reporter who has an inkling that something isn't right with the corporation, she also by accident comes in contact with our hero--Rendel. Another story involves some ethical employee somewhere who interviews some wicked little guy but doesn't hire him despite the warnings of the little guy. Sure enough, the little guy gets our employee fired...and then hires him at the evil corporation. The employee eventually uncovers something at the corporation which leads the boss's son the go after the guy and his family. These two stories eventually converge as Rendel goes head-on after the corporation which has hired a bunch of incompetent criminals to eliminate him. Rendel reminds me of a long (1:45) episode of Arrow but without the charisma, not a surprise given that it's a Finnish production. Otherwise it's competent work with mostly decent action and some interesting bits in the story. Maybe the sequel won't be filmed in complete darkness which gets tiring pretty fast. With some tighter editing this movie would have improved but for an European, and Finnish at that, attempt at action, Rendel is ok.

I brought Rendel in Sainsbury's for £5. Being a fan of violent superheroes like the punisher I decided to give it a go. It is brilliant and very dark and gothic in many areas, and the fight scenes are brutal and pretty good but what let's the film down as a whole is the main character. I always think it should have a good explanation as to how heroes have their skills and abilities. Daredevil got enhanced senses at the cost of his sight and was trained by a ninja master. The Punisher is a highly skilled Marine and war hero, regarded as the best of the best, you get the idea. The main character Rendel/Ramos is an average pen-pusher who has no military or fighting background. Yet when his family gets killed, all of a sudden he glues a mask to his face(obviously didn't think it through properly because he can't eat or drink through it) and he has skills of hand to hand combat, stealth, espionage and able to take out skilled gangsters and mercenaries. If they had gone with the unoriginal but believable , he was an ex soldier/assassin etc storyline it would have been better. Plus the fact he will die soon by not being able to eat or drink and barely breath . It did have great potential but the main character really let it down. The writer should have developed him more. Gave it a watch but not again, I hope the sequel is better.

Angry vigilante anti-hero Rendell (a solid performance by Kristofer Gummerus) goes after the evil and powerful corporation VALA, who not only killed his wife and daughter, but also are responsible for making and distributing a potentially lethal untested vaccine to the public. Writer/director Jesse Haaja relates the familiar, but still enjoyable and absorbing story at a constant pace, maintains a dark gritty tone throughout, ably crafts a brooding gloom-doom atmosphere, furthers jazzes things up with a cool rainy'n'shadowy style, stages the exciting rough'n'tumble fights with skill and flair, and even provides some wickedly amusing moments of pitch-black humor. Moreover, Haaja deserves extra praise for giving the characters which include a majority of the slimy, hateful, and sadistic villains a certain wounded soulful humanity. Sure, it's definitely derivative, but the funky style and a surprising surplus of genuine (albeit severely damaged) heart make this a worthy entry in the troubled and vindictive superhero genre just the same.

This has basically same idea and feel as the game Max Payne. Some odd chemical, man who lost his family and revenge. The trinity of all good in movies; evil, loss ja payback. Clearly low budget movie, and some acting is questionable but over all great movie!

A Finnish superhero, a dc comic style made in a small country of Europe, hearing that is like wow that's something we don't see every day. Watching the trailer it looks very promising, cool music and cool scenes. But that's selected as watch bates. After finally watching the movie, it was weird and didn't feel serious and the soundtrack was disappointing. In a distant future, Jarno the Roth control the world with fear and his crime syndicate organization, until one day a masked demon attack his crime way and break a war with Jarno by killing his henchmen one by one, but who is he and why is he attacking Jarno? Simple.....revenge. The color in some scenes are excellent dark city with yellow colored windows or area, really cool, and cool action scenes sometimes but there it ends. While some scenes background looks great but other scenes like the outdoor looks cheap like an independent film but the worse is when the some of the cast doesn't look like they take this movie seriously. Sometimes it's serious then the next it's goofy, that's what I hate some European movies, when they have an idea to make a Hollywood style movie, they get scared and make it goofy instead. This movie is just like that. Don't be scared, just do it. I give it 5/10 for the ambition but seriously the trailer were better.

Nonstop meh. Action-packed meh. Pulse-pounding meh. Edge of your seat meh. Adrenaline rushing meh. White knuckled, fist clenching meh. Rob Zombie clone of meh. Valentine, Dark Avenger imitating meh. Gets a four, because it was only meh. It wasn't worse than meh; but couldn't rise above meh. MEH!!
