Low key but good acting by Kevin. Anthony Quinn is his good old self although I still can't understand some of his lines. Madeliene Stowe was a real beauty in this. She literally made me fall in love with her as... Full review

This is probably the 3rd best Kevin Costner film (behind 'Dancing with Wolves' and 'No way out'). It is however, a sad tale and the ending is pretty tear jerking. Overall, a good flick though.... Full review

Revenge is defintiely sweet when audiences stayed away from clunckers like 3000 Miles to Graceland, Waterworld, The Postman and this lame triller/drama. Besides from the actors who deserved better, their is nothing worth mentioning here, and the ending brought fits of... Full review

Critics Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
In a film like this it is helpful to believe that at least one of the characters is acting wisely and well, and " Revenge " has no righteous characters
The old action pulp magazines liked strongly plotted stories in which women were viewed as the prizes in a male game, and " Revenge " is right in that tradition.

Revenge is ultimately a pretty simple tale....Often pegged as a thriller, Revenge is in actuality a straightforward story of obsession and, um, revenge.....Costner is just fine here, playing an angsty role with reserve and outright anger when appropriate.....But the show-stealer is of course the legendary Quinn, grizzly and gnarled.... ...
