“Acts Of Vengeance” (** out of four) was a fizzled action melodrama about a slick lawyer (Antonio Banderas) who makes his living exonoreating murderers and other criminals but becomes deranged and hellbent on revenge when his wife and daughter are both murdered and turns him into a vigilante on the streets against the same people he used to defend! Potentially juicy story of a defense attorney who becomes a vigilante avenger is bungled, as story loses its way and is underdone. Banderas is solid as usual. Terrific story makes you only wonder what Martin Scorcese or David Fincher could have done with this.
