“Vengeance: A Love Story” (**1/2 out of four) was an interesting but limited death-wish melodrama about a single mom (Anna Hutchinson) who is brutally raped and assaulted in front of her young daughter. All of the assailants are subsequently freed but the investigating cop (Nicholas Cage) on the case takes matters into his own hands and seeks to restore justice his own way. Features an unusual amount of character development for this type of movie and features good performances (including one of Cage’s best in a while) but is hurt by lapses in logic and credibility. Don Johnson is strong also as the rapists’ slick defense attorney.
