Bound to Vengeance (2015)

Very well executed

Too much of everything

As Good As It Gets

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One minute, Eve is a neat and cute young lady, 21 years old and declaring her love for her boyfriend on a webcam, limiting herself to a life of marriage and children with wholesome beau Ronnie (Kris Kjornes). The next we see her as she is 'now' - chained and sweaty and bloody, in her underwear, a prisoner of Phil (Richard Tyson).Eve overpowers the man and makes her escape, only to find the building is in too remote an area to get help. So she returns, finds Phil has other female victims scattered around, and takes him on an enforced tour of his other girls, all chained up and clearly part of a sex trafficking business. Perversely, the girls have become so conditioned to their environment, they are not happy to be freed, which threatens to make Eve's mercy mission twistedly redundant.And yet she perseveres. And while the 76 minutes are filled with their fair share of running around and screaming, Director José Manuel Cravioto ensures events are tight enough to pursue a build-up of coherence and tension, so that the twist at the end is satisfying indeed.The acting is fine throughout, with Tyson giving Phil a measured quality that makes it understandable some former victims succumb to a form of Stockholm Syndrome. As this film's 'final girl' Eve, Tina Ivlev puts in a fiery and intense performance. Not for one moment do you not believe in her. Recommended.

This movie is definitely worth a watch, especially for young woman (who are old enough to watch this type of movie) who are targets for this crime. There is a lot of blood and violence and disturbing scenes of abduction, but don't let that stop you from a good story line, well pieced together, and acted well. Tina Ivlev does an excellent job of the girl who gets away and seeks vengeance on behalf of the other girls abducted. She realistically dramatizes a person who has to be tough rather than a super-hero type that just plows through the bad guys. Probably the only issue that I have with the movie is that Richard Tyson, as the abductor, gives up information a little too easily in this movie. Sure, he's being tortured, but there could have been a little more to the script that would explain why he's divulging the information so readily.

I did need a couple things I was confused about spelled out for me on the board, but it is okay. Certain things happen fast I was a little unclear about, but mostly I followed everything.This movie is quick and fast, nice twists and turns, and the main female is well acted. The other actors were good too but do not shine as well as her.Good horror, action, dark, is not afraid of a vigilante getting their hands dirty which I like in a movie. It is not very long for a movie either which works well for this type of film. Dark gritty and good with no unnecessary scenes slowing it down like other films. No slow dialogue scenes or pointless feeling scenes.I enjoyed it. I like its quick motion and dark look too.

First of all let me introduce myself. I am an avid fan of dark sadistic thriller movies from directors in the likes of David Fincher and have watched the excellent Se7en, 8MM and other titles which border on such themes. As such, i am also a heavy critic when the movies in this genre falls short.This movie tries to be those movies that appeared back in the 90s with the "old urban decay" theme but falls short on many levels. The acting of the main evil lead is just gibberish.And definitely far worst and below the character of John Doe in Se7enThe only suspense here is anticipatory and rather common in other movies as the captor leads her to one house after the next . And this suspense last probably only a few minutes long. By now one can have guessed that this is those sadist group made up of yr ordinary neighborhood men kidnapping girls for sexual slavery scenario with a mastermind that is so ordinary that he is a family man holding a decent job There are certain plot holes and the usual clichés in this movie which makes it rather senseless. As the duo go around the town, there seems to no one and even when gunshots were fired, there is no one even to hear them? There are just not enough visuals, pacing or camera work in this movie that can make it a Se7en or something like that.The only thing good about this movie is the performance of the lead female character and the portrayal of a disturbing theme. Just don't wak into this movie with expectations of Se7en or the likes . This is just another action fare Watch it if u have nothing else to watch else u can just give it a pass.......
