Description: “Vengeance is Mine” is a 2021 British action revenge thriller film that tells the story of a shattered man grappling with the murder of his wife and daughter. Upon discovering the whereabouts of the killers, he emerges from his grief-driven despair, fueled by a thirst for vengeance, and sets out to destroy those who ruined his life.
The film, written and directed by Hadi Hajaig (known for works like “Terry Gilliam: Film Maker,” “Blue Iguana,” and “Cleanskin”), is a UK Film Studio Pictures production. It features a cast including Con O’Neill, Sarah-Jane Potts, Ricky Grover, Peter Pedrero, Caitlin Innes Edwards, and Anton Valensi.
The story begins with Emile (Anton Valensi) and his heavily armed criminal group ambushing another gang of villains. They leave no survivors and escape with a fortune in drugs. This event sets the stage for the unfolding drama.
Harry (Con O’Neill), who works and lives in a church, is a man consumed by grief and despair. He repeatedly contemplates suicide, haunted by the tragic hit-and-run that took the lives of his wife and daughter. Years later, the detective he hired (Ricky Grover) finally provides him with a lead, which connects back to the gang from the film’s opening scene.
Hadi Hajaig simplifies a familiar plot, focusing on a grieving man driven by rage and a group of criminals who deserve retribution. The film strips away excess dialogue and characters, honing in on the core elements of vengeance and justice.
