Preston Sturges was among a small handful of filmmakers in the 1930s and ’40s considered to be masters of the screwball comedy, and this is one of the greatest examples of his work. In the film, Barbara Stanwyck plays a beautiful con artist named Jean who jeopardizes her scheme when she accidentally falls in love with her mark, Charles (Henry Fonda...
John Boorman directed this stylish thriller about a thief trying to exact revenge on his partner after being betrayed during a heist. Star Lee Marvin looks and acts exactly like you imagine a thief ruthless enough to take his revenge out one person at a time would, but meticulous enough not to ask for a penny more than he was originally owed. By lo...
Despite François Truffaut’s deeply mixed feelings about The Bride Wore Black's legacy (the director agreed with early criticisms of the film, then warmed to it as public approval changed, then fretted about color choices as audiences embraced it as a classic), this drama occupies a unique corner in the "revenge movie" canon. Jeanne Moreau plays the...
Sergio Leone made a number of great films that hinged at least in part on seeking revenge. But this western—not only his best, but one of the greatest of all time—follows a mysterious man with a harmonica (Charles Bronson) as he disrupts the efforts of a hired gun named Frank (Henry Fonda) and his wealthy benefactor from trying to gain control of a...
Wes Craven was always a “big idea” man—he was, after all, a teacher before he became a filmmaker—as is evident in his debut feature, . Borrowing from Ingmar Bergman’s The Virgin Spring, Craven tells the story of two teenage girls who are dragged into the woods and tortured, and then the perpetrators accidentally visit the home of one of their paren...
Even if you’ve seen Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2, which pay tribute both to Lady Snowblood's story and its spirit, it’s impossible to start this film starring Meiko Kaji and not immediately think, “Am I watching one of the greatest movies of all time?” (Answer: you are.) Toshiya Fujita’s 1973 masterpiece starts with three murders in a snowy courtyard an...
Robert Redford and Paul Newman reunited after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid(1969) for this caper about two grifters who team up to pay back the mob boss (Robert Shaw) who killed their mentor. Like so many great con artist stories, the twists come so fast and furious that you’re not sure who you’re rooting for by the end of the film. But George...
Looking at Charles Bronson, previously represented here in Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West, it’s easy to think of him as somebody who would absolutely mess you up if you crossed him. But in Michael Winner’s adaptation of Brian Garfield’s Death Wish, Bronson plays a mild-mannered architect who becomes an armed vigilante after his wife and daugh...
Brian De Palma adapted this Stephen King story into a monstrous treatise on a young woman’s blossoming femininity under the puritanical control of her ultra-religious mother. Sissy Spacek plays the luminous title character opposite a domineering Piper Laurie, while supporting turns from John Travolta, P.J. Soles, and frequent De Palma collaborator ...
John Flynn directed this ice-cold sleeper about a Vietnam veteran who returns to a civilian life he doesn’t recognize, and that doesn’t want him—and he’s understandably not happy about it. William Devane plays Major Charles Rane, a seven-year prisoner of war who enlists fellow soldier Johnny Vohden (Tommy Lee Jones) to find the men who stole his ho...
Jul 29, 2022 · There’s little discussion of racial grievance as a motivation for politics in the film, and nobody mentions Trump, Greg Abbott, or the transformation of Texas into an authoritarian nation-state. The movie takes the audience into a minefield but tactfully declines to point out most of the mines.

Jul 28, 2022 · B.J. Novak's writing-directing-starring hat trick, Vengeance, is a thoughtful and humorous film debut packed with the comedian's caustic social commentary; however, much like its main character, the narrative struggles to communicate anything truly memorable about life, death, or the power of storytelling.
