“Avengement” (**1/2 out of four) was a fairly entertaining action potboiler set on the streets of England in which a violent criminal (Scott Adkins) is given a furlough from prison and returns home and seeks revenge on his brother (Craig Fairbrass) and others who turned him into a cold-blooded killer and he has to retrace his roots to find the compassionate man he used to be. Never quite cuts loose as it should but keeps its grip thanks to strong performances from both Adkins and Fairbrass who play off each other well and some violent hand-to-hand combat scenes.
