Entertainment Weekly
Director Jesse V. Johnson sprinkles in enough cruel twists of fate and melancholy-laced flashbacks to prevent Avengement from becoming just another disposable exercise in action sadism on a budget. The real credit, though, goes to Adkins, who one of these days will hopefully get called up to the Hollywood big leagues and wind up surprising a lot of people — and grin while he’s doing it. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Avengement features a good balance of colorfully profane British gangster-speak and intense, explicitly gory punch-outs. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Portraying his most complex character to date, Adkins delivers a ferocious turn that proves visceral in its emotional as well as physical intensity. - 38
Movie Nation
If what you’re looking for it fists of fury, he can provide them. And if you’re looking for signs that a guy who is playing heavies in small roles in big budget pictures is growing as a performer, that he and Johnson have gotten better since “Debt Collector,” just not all that much, Avengement is going to be your kind of movie. - 20
Film Threat
The whole film plays like a hunk looking at himself in the mirror.
