"When you've been betrayed by a friend, you hit back" says James Woods character in Sergio Leone's masterpiece "Once Upon a Time in America". There can be so many reasons behind why we love to watch revenge movies. IT can be because we find it fascinating to watch a person's rage, how it brings them on the edge or we like to get provoked by its morally questionable sides or we like to see justice getting done, even if it's done by somewhat unethical way. In the end, maybe we just have a sympathy for the devil.
Whatever it is, revenge films had been part of cinema for so long and gave us so many interesting, thought-provoking, impressive films. Some of them were depressing, some of them were shocking, some of them were just fun. Hopefully this list has little bit of everything."
