Review of Vengo

Vengo (2000)
Disappointing
3 April 2004
I watched Vengo on video as an assignment for a Spanish Class.It was slow moving and boring. If not an assignment, I'd have turned it off after the first 15 minutes. I didn't care for the music which was a major part of the film; I found it discordant and upsetting. I'm not sure if it was the language barrier, or the movie itself which made the plot confusing. I didn't catch on to the family feud until nearly the end of the film. The main character was unconvincing as a grief stricken father. I do not believe he turned his attention toward Diego (his handicapped nephew) because of his own loss.Instead I think he did it out of loyalty to his brother (Diego's father), who had avenged his daughter's death. I found the characters to be unattractive. The men, dressed mostly in black, with long tangled hair and beards repulsed me. It seemed their main occupation was having drinking parties and discussing the killings.
