***Spoilers Ahead*** This is the first Johnny To movie I've seen or at least the 1st 1 I remember.I've probably seen more but usually I never pay attention to who's directing until after it's over & I really liked the movie.I REALLY liked this movie.Vengeance has made me want to go out & find more movies by Johnny To.The family massacre at the beginning shocked the crap out of me (I was NOT expecting that) but also had me hooked, Wondering how Costello was going to avenge his daughter & her family.Vengeance did NOT disappoint.It almost had a Western feel to it & made me wonder, What type of Western would Johnny To direct? Now that is a Western I'd go out of my way to see.I would've prefered the movie to fade to black after Costello got his revenge & was walking down the street the way they had it, not him sitting around the table with Big Mama & the kids.I think the ending would've been better that way.As far as I know, Vengeance is part of a trilogy so I'd like to see the other 2 as well if I can ever find them but right now, I'd be happy to see any of Johnny To's other movies..Vengeance is good!!!
