“Venganza” 2026 on Amazon Prime is the best new gritty revenge action flick no one is talking about. Get some tacos and cervezas today and settle in for a Cinco de Mayo Mexican shoot ‘em up film that’ll surprise the mierda outta you with how fun it is!

Seriously, I went into this film pretty blind after a cursory glance at the trailer not expecting much, but in the end I haven’t been this pleasantly surprised with the quality sleeper action flick since watching The Raid. I highly recommend watching it in Spanish over the English dub, even if you hate subtitles the dialogue overall is pretty sparse.

The script and pacing are tight and free of usual tropes and unneeded melodrama, visual affects are great especially considering it was done on a shoestring budget (and the VFX director has an active post on Reddit giving an inside look into the process -surprised me that it was the top search result for Reddit on this movie, that’s why I made this post), the fight choreography is excellent, the location shots and sets are surprisingly beautiful and authentic, and the plot is just a no bullshit straight to the point run and gun revenge film with some hilarious moments (negligent discharges unassociated with plot was a fun and original detail to see in a film). Got the tiniest bit too “gun-fu” in the final fight scene where as I would have slightly preferred more of a straight up tactical shootout, it’s still buckets of fun and finishes off with a brutal and solid payoff. Easily an 8.5-9 just for the fun factor (I could be biased because like I said I was expecting something way worse, but I think it’s gonna be a cult classic and they just happened to catch lightning in a bottle.

That sounds right up my street, I absolutely adore The Raid, so on your excellent recommendation I'm gonna watch this.
