dont believe the high review, this is student movie material.
surfisfun1 November 2023
Even the front cover of the film try to mislead to the vendetta anarchist mask wt the semblance of mustache , No connection at all, just a huge mislead.

The movie is not well directed and acted , feel to me like a film school project without much of a script, The film rely on the main actress shoulder, but without much to go with, uninspired cinematography, no charismatic actors , a story not well developed and under produced, i dont know who will like this one . If you are interested in student film acting and underwhelming everything, this is ok i guess, but because of the front cover trying to cash on vendetta, i would recommend a pass on this one .

Low budget indie thriller
podozzypro26 October 2023
Vendetta Road is an interesting, low budget indie thriller. For all practical purposes, it's a one-location film, which is compelling.

The story takes place at a large, isolated campground. The main character is visited by a fugitive and initially is forced to help him. Their relationship grows over time and becomes more complicated.

Some of the events in the film seem implausible, like a RC car remote working from hundreds of feet away, a body fitting into a container that was clearly too small for him and the lead, Tamera, picking up that container and tossing into the bed of a pick up truck. It's little things like that which took me out of the story a few times. The acting was spotty and the VFX needed work, but all-in-all a pretty good effort. I'm interested in seeing what the director, Nathan Light, does with his next project.

A solidly suspenseful thriller
alexjd-0631012 September 2023
A solidly suspenseful thriller. It had me guessing the whole runtime. Dakota's character draws us through this twisting and turning movie. The supporting actors also help shore up the tone. Very nice representation of the complexity that humanity hides within. Having to guess each characters internal motive helps keep every scene an interesting reveal. It may be a slow start, but the story will hold suspense while it hits you with action scenes. The use of camera movement was well handled, the locations fit the tone of the story, and the music helps hold the tension and action firmly in place.

Fun thriller that starts slow but ends with action
photo-859-40163114 August 2023
This is a suspense thriller with action that starts slow but, once the story kicks in, held my attention with a few surprises along the way. I liked the lead actress and she keeps my sympathy throughout the film but some of the supporting characters aren't as strong. Still, I liked the dynamics between the characters and the set up for the story is good. The cinematography is good and I liked the sense of place of this rural American landscape. My favorite parts were the score (it builds the suspense really well) and the direction. The direction is kept tight for the suspense scenes and the action scenes have a nice visual kick to them. I'd be interested in seeing what this director would be with a higher budget and a tighter story.

great suspense
jedijimmy10114 August 2023
This movie had me glued to the screen holding my attention from start to finish. This was filmed in a beautiful location, giving you beautiful visuals through out. Vendetta Road had me guessing and tense all throughout. This is well written and the actors did a superb job. This was a fun watch for me. I really enjoyed it. The music was great to as it really added to the tension that I was already feeling watching this. Big shout out to the cast and crew on a job well done. The fighting scenes were great and very well done. If you like a good suspenseful thriller grab a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the show.

A Captivating Thriller
kjs114417 August 2023
Vendetta Road is a thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. A campground manager gets entangled in a mafia hunt on the campgrounds. The story is well written, with a plot that has countless twists and turns. You will find yourself trying to guess what the characters will do and exactly where their loyalties lie. The director did a great job with the cinematic, stylistic shots, and the use of camera movement. I also loved the Kansas filming locations. This movie is well worth your time, so if you're looking for a great thriller to watch, check this one out!

wild ride
thejhorton17 August 2023
Man, "Vendetta Road" is a trip, a wild ride through the dusty trails of El Reno, where secrets are as plentiful as the stars in the desert sky. Dakota Brooks, a front desk clerk, a seeker of truth in a world filled with shadows, finds herself tangled in a mystery that's more complex than a Coltrane solo.

This tale, it's a jazz composition, a rhythm of suspense and intrigue, where every cabin door hides a secret, and every glance tells a story. The murder, it's just the beginning, a note that starts a melody, a melody that Dakota must follow, must unravel, like a beatnik poet searching for the perfect line.

The suspect, he's not just a man, he's a symbol, a representation of the hidden layers of society, the complexity of the human soul. His story, it's a poem, a song of pain and redemption, a dance with the devil on the road to enlightenment.

"Vendetta Road," it's not just a story, it's a journey, a voyage through the human condition, a trip down the winding roads of life. It's a must-read for any wanderer, any seeker, any soul longing for the truth. Dig it, man.
