Recently saw Rambo Last Blood - pleasantly surprised. A very enjoyable movie from start to finish. Stallone's acting was great, and soundtrack was superb. The fight scenes were also satisfactory.

I'm also a fan of Taken, Man of Fire and Django Unchained.

Any other gems that I should consider?

First Blood Part II is a better revenge movie. They kill the hot girl Rambo likes, so he blows every single motherfucker up with ultimate prejudice.

Koreans love their brutal revenge movies.
Old boy and I saw the devil are two classics, but it's basically its own genre for Korea so there are tons more. Here is a good selection.

Count de Monte Cristo. Any version. But I’m partial to the one with Cavaziel released around 2000.

A very fine selection indeed. Obviously Park Chan-Wook's vengeance trilogy are all stellar, and I still go back and forth on which is the best of the three. Oldboy is the obvious choice because its the flashiest, but Sympathy is just... I have to be honest when I first saw the movie (back when it was new, and pretty much unheralded) I can't remember a tougher watch for me personally, it took a force of will to not just nope out once it becomes apparent where its going!

Of the other titles on that page there's no shortage of winners, even if I do think Na Hong-Jin's stuff is kinda overrated. I'd suggest people check out some of the less well known titles like The Divine Move (which is batshit-crazy and kinda awesome) instead.

A more recent watch but "Revenge" was a surprisingly fun movie that didn't seem to get much attention.

 

[Mossybrew]

I think The Rover would fall into this category. Love that movie, bleak and uncompromising.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

John Wick

John Wick is a good revenge movie? There's like 1 scene where Keanu Reeves says "They killed my dog" and then its 2.5 hours of gun dancing in nightclubs.

The whole franchise is an elongated Firestarter Prodigy music video.

The whole Vengeance is worthy of being on this list.
Hell, lots of South Korean revenge movies are quite excellent.

But yes, Oldboy is the best. A1.

One more.

the old boy trilogy is the best.

sympathy for lady vengeance

Another vote for Payback and the Punisher movies. I'm going to read through this thread later, I love revenge flicks.

Knocked Up: Directed by Judd Apatow. With Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann. For fun-loving party animal Ben Stone, the last thing he ever expected was for his one-night stand to show up on his doorstep eight weeks later to tell him she's pregnant with his child.
