‘My Name Is Vendetta’ (2022) – Netflix Movie – An Action-Thriller

My Name Is Vendetta (Il mio nome è vendetta) is a thriller movie directed by Cosimo Gomez starring Alessandro Gassman and Remo Girone.

A film with a classic premise that develops in a coherent way, and in which Alessandro Gassman takes on a role that is reminiscent of a Liam Neeson character, although slightly darker in temperament.

Premise

After old enemies kill his family, a former mafia enforcer and his feisty daughter flee to Milan, where they hide out while plotting their revenge.

Movie Review

Here we have a movie that is watchable, it is relatively well produced, but will not be remembered. It has the virtue of maneuvering like a classic thriller, although it never really strikes us as impactful.

‘My Name is Vendetta’ is not novel. We have seen similar thrillers before. It navigates within the framework of a thriller format that almost always works, and it seems to have been written around the actor Alessandro Gassman – with slight (obvious) references to ‘Leon’ by Luc Besson.

There are quite a few violent scenes, and it is dynamic in its frames. Without being an overly modest production, it is not a blockbuster either. Although the photography is good, with some interesting contrasts between the indoor chiaroscuro takes, and the outdoors takes with natural light.
