Measure Of Revenge Review: Melissa Leo’s Drug Dealing Thriller Is A Snooze
Measure of Revenge is aptly titled, but they are dealing with inches not feet. Somehow, the film finds the time to not be engaging at a 92-minute runtime. Melissa Leo (The Fighter) is one of the best working actors, yet even her performance is on the same subpar level as the film. Bella Thorne (Chick Fight) is written as a tacky hipster and, though she is no Melissa Leo, her portrayal is just as lacking if not more. Kenny Walakandou (The Spiral) has written a script with some very cool aspects, but they basically add up to an early 2000s Ashley Judd thriller. Most directorial debuts don’t hit, but hopefully, Peyfa will surprise viewers in whatever his sophomore effort ends up being. Unfortunately, the best part of Measure of Revenge is the opening credit sequence.
