Why it received this score
My Name Is Vendetta is a 2022 Italian crime thriller directed by Cosimo Gomez. It follows a former mafia enforcer and his daughter as they flee to Milan after old enemies kill their family. They hide. They plot revenge. The film does not pause to consider the broader social implications of its narrative. It is a revenge thriller. That is its purpose. It fulfills that purpose with efficient brutality and little else.
The cast is uniformly Italian and white. No LGBTQ+ characters appear. No racial consciousness is engaged. The daughter is described as feisty, which is a personality trait, not a political statement. The film does not critique patriarchal structures. It does not mention climate change. It does not critique capitalism. The criminals are not stand-ins for the wealthy elite. They are simply criminals. There is no body positivity. There is no neurodivergence. There is no revisionist history. The film does not lecture. It does not preach. It does not sermonize. It shows a man killing people who wronged him. That is the entire moral universe.
In the current cultural moment, this film is a relic. It is a throwback to an era when movies did not need to justify themselves with social messaging. It is not a good film because of its politics. It is not a bad film because of its politics. It is a film about revenge. The classification is straightforward. Every marker of modern progressive sensibility is absent. The film does not engage with representation, identity, or systemic critique. It engages with a shotgun. A sequel is reportedly in production. That sequel will likely also be a revenge thriller. We await it with the same weary neutrality we reserve for all such endeavors.
