Despite how many other revenge stories are out there, Taken is still the first thing I think of when I think of revenge movies. The movie is simple, with Liam Neeson’s Bryan Mills, a retired CIA agent, going after the human traffickers who kidnap his daughter while she is on vacation in France. Taken earned cult classic just from one iconic phone c...
With The Equalizer starring Denzel Washington, which came out a handful of years after Taken, Washington’s Bob McCall takes on a much more vigilante role in the film, as he gets revenge on the Russian mafia for a young sex worker named Alina (Chloë Grace Moretz). With a basic, straightforward premise, there’s nothing to overthink here. The 2014 fil...
Come on, when you started reading this article, John Wick was one of the first movies you thought of, wasn’t it? With a grizzled Keanu Reeves killing people with efficiency and style, there’s really nothing more you could ask for in a movie. This will get into spoiler territory for people who haven’t seen the first film, but someone killing the dog...

Released in 1973 and based on the manga of the same name by Kazuo Koike and Kazuo Kamimura, Lady Snowblood is said to be a major inspiration for Tarantino’s Kill Bill. Directed by Toshiya Fojita, the Japanese film stars Meiko Kaji as Yuki, a woman born for the sole purpose of getting revenge for her mother against the three men who brutally raped h...
Another film from Park Chan-wook, 2003’s Oldboy is a classic crime thriller and a must-see for all film fans. Technically, the entire unofficial “Vengeance Trilogy” by Park, which consists of 2002’s Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, and the 2005 film Lady Vengeance, should probably be on this list, but Oldboy is arguably the best of the bunch. Th...
This may seem surprising, but teen movies often have the theme of revenge, and Mean Girls is the best of the best within this category.
