Vengeance Is Mine

It is rare to see actor Valentine Dyall playing a leading role as a goody. Even rarer to see character actor Sam Kydd having a more substantial role in a movie.

Vengeance is Mine is a low budget quickie. Dyall plays Charles Heywood who was wrongly imprisoned. When he is told by his doctor he is dying and only has a few months to live he seizes an opportunity to get vengeance on a former associate who framed him. Heywood hires a hit- man to kill him and then make it look like that it was the former associate that did it.

The hit-man, a meek looking man accepts the assignment but Heywood then finds out that he needs to stop him carrying out his side of the bargain.

This is a curious crime drama, some of the acting is stiff, the picture quality is below average yet it maintains your interest as it moves quickly and has a short running time.
