Special Delivery
lavatch4 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Early in her career as an obstetrician, Dr. Victoria Brooks had to make a tough call. With Kerry Meyers in a desperate condition in childbirth, either the mother or the infant daughter would perish. The doctor followed the wishes of the mother and saved the child. But years later, it would appear to be payback time for someone who believed that Dr. Brooks made the wrong choice.

There was an interesting set of characters, including Dr. Brooks' daughter Noelle and two hospital interns, Claire and Luna. Dr. Brooks has the feeling that someone is following her, and a cat-and-mouse game ensues. There was a brisk pacing to the film and good suspense built in to the narrative with the three interns.

The only shortcoming was that the entire revenge scenario stretched credibility. Dr. Brooks was clearly a dedicated practitioner who was following the Hippocratic oath. It was due only to a truly twisted mind to find fault with Dr. Brooks' decision making process.

Still, the cast was excellent, and there was a strong denouement with the possibility opened for a sequel. But, for the moment at least, it is cause for celebration for young Noelle, who is off to the Angel of Mercy hospital in Chicago, where she will no doubt be involved in many special deliveries.

Somewhat bland and devoid of thrills...

Stumbling upon the 2021 thriller "Revenge Delivered" here late in 2022, of course I opted to sit down and watch it, eventhough I had actually never heard about the movie. But I figured that I would give the movie a fair chance, since I hadn't already seen it.

The storyline in "Revenge Delivered" was a bit bland. Sure it was watchable, but it wasn't exactly a particularly exciting thriller, nor was it a movie that had me at the edge of my seat at any time. So writer Jordan Robinson only managed to churn out a fairly generic thriller here.

The acting performances in "Revenge Delivered" were fair enough. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, and that is something that I enjoy when watching movies. I will say that the cast here put on good performances, but they were somewhat hindered and held back by a subpar script.

For a thriller then "Revenge Delivered" was fairly bland. It made for a very simple viewing experience, and without the thrills and suspense, then "Revenge Delivered" is hardly a movie that I will recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.

My rating of director Bill Corcoran's 2021 movie "Revenge Delivered" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

Okay but...

Warning: Spoilers
Who was that hooded man? It looked exactly like the father of the baby from decades ago although he died years earlier and his bones were unearthed. It was the student doctor with the blonde hair and obvious weird attitude. Her scare pranks was to switch off the lights and lock doors. She's an adult, who sought revenge on a doctor who saved her life when she was born, resulting in her mother dying. This seems very unrealistic and stupid. The crocodile tears she was shedding was dumb. And how did she ever get up after being hit across the head by a metal pole? The fact the doctor is married to a car mechanic who admits he was too stupid to be a doctor himself is like the script writers saying people in low income jobs are thick. I didn't find that funny, and the film was predictable and had unfinished ending. Why did it stop there? It ended as it was getting more interesting.

Better plot, not better movie
tomfsloan8 June 2021
When I watch a movie, I make mental list of things to write about in my review. The other reviewer, nightroses, pretty much summed up everything I wanted to say. So read that review instead of mine. And spoiler, sort of....if you watch this movie, be prepared for a very stupid and pointless final scene.

Somewhat Lacking in Suspense and Marred by an Extremely Bad Ending
Uriah4317 July 2023
This film begins with an obstetrician by the name of "Victoria Brooks" (Olunike Adeliyi) being hurriedly summoned into the maternity ward to deliver a baby while the mother is experiencing a medical crisis. When she gets there she is forced to make a decision on whether to focus her efforts to deliver the baby or save the mother's life. She chooses to deliver the baby first but, when she then turns her attention to the mother, she is told that she has already died. The scene then shifts to over 20 years later with that same obstetrician working at a large hospital and greeting three new medical school graduates with one of them being her daughter "Noelle Brooks" (Mary Antonini). Around that same time, Victoria begins receiving written threats which mention the exact same date when the mother died in the maternity ward many years previously. Not long afterward, strange things begin to happen at the hospital and it becomes apparent that she is being targeted by someone harboring an extreme hatred for her-and even the local police cannot seem to make any progress in identifying the suspect or to stop this person's increasingly aggressive behavior. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this started off well enough but neither the mystery or suspense was enough to really stimulate my interest that much. Likewise, it was also marred by one of the worst endings I have ever seen as well. That being said, while I don't consider this to be a terrible movie necessarily, I wasn't really impressed with it and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
