Vengeful is a film about a man who is unfairly imprisoned and when he is finally released on parole and finds that he is unable to resume any semblance of a normal life, he decides instead to take revenge on those who put him in prison in the 1st place. This is... pretty not-great. The writing and acting feels amateurish at basically every level. You can feel the passion in telling this story, but you can also feel a single writer's unedited voice, when it could use an editor for sure. It clearly is also wanting to make some bigger point about the prison industrial complex and how it affects Black families, but it never lands that message. There are much better examples of better crime movies.
