"Kill Bill" and 6 other outstanding revenge movies

"Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair"

4.23 out of 5 on MyShows | 2006

Black Mamba was the most dangerous hitman in the Deadly Vipers assassination squad before she decided to leave the business, start a new life and get married. And it was on her wedding day that her old "friends" found her and massacred her. The head of the squad, Bill, shoots the Bride in the head, but she survives and spends a long time in a coma. Four years later, she wakes up and sets out to take revenge on those who ruined her life.

"Kill Bill" was released in theaters in two parts, but director Quentin Tarantino conceived and shot it as a single movie. So we decided to add the director's cut version, which combined both parts and an extended animated scene, to the collection.

"Oldboy" / 올드보이

Drama, thriller, detective, action | 4.18 out of 5 on MyShows | 2003

"Oldboy" is often compared to "Kill Bill" — after all, the main characters in both films become obsessed with revenge. However, according to "Oldboy" director Park Chan-wook, Tarantino shows revenge as something to be enjoyed, while in Chan-wook's case it can only bring pain.

The movie is about Oh Dae-su, who is kidnapped right on the street. The man wakes up in a strange windowless room where he is kept under lock and key, fed and periodically put to sleep with gas. Oh Dae-su is released only after 15 years, provided with money and a cell phone. It is up to him to find out who is behind the mysterious kidnapping, and finally take brutal revenge on his unknown tormentor.

"Oldboy" is the second part of Park Chan-wook's "revenge trilogy," which also includes "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" and "Lady Vengeance". Check them out too if you like revenge movies.

"Used to seem like just another action movie. But in fact it's very clinging, in what an unusual story wrapped the understandable to everyone lives of the heroes. I worried both for the protagonist and the antagonist. Shooting at the height", — elizablok.

The picture is beyond praise. The soundtrack is legendary. The acting by Russell Crowe and especially Joaquin Phoenix is amazing. My personal benchmark peplum", — RichisonTrug.
