It's all a tad too serious for a movie that's essentially a tawdry pulp thriller. Still, anyone who comes to Acts of Violence looking for colorfully sleazy characters and shootouts — as opposed to nuanced public policy briefs — should find enough reasons to stick around.

The script has been written compactly if without great imagination by Nicolas Aaron Mezzanatto, and directed likewise by actor-turned-helmer Donowho, whose work here reps an uptick from his prior, mostly B-grade horror features.

With a polished production quaity, I’m not sure the message would have been as good.
The messsge was very strong, and this movie is about regular folks. I wish most of us, in America would stand up to what is wrong, in several ways.
This movie is a odern version of “Saving Private Ryan.”
It reminds me of the best Christian film.

Not a solid Action Thriller but entertaining enough. Hauser performs well, in other movies he did not convince me that much, Ashmore beyond handsomeness and very emotive sequences. 6'5/10

This dopey action thriller harks back to grindhouse pictures of the ’70s and ’80s, although it’s too tasteful, if that’s the word, to consistently exploit the more lurid implications of its sensationalist scenario.

Acts of Violence evaporates from your mind while you're watching it.

The title Acts of Violence has less to do with the storyline of the movie it graces and more about what’s perpetrated against the audience watching it.

The film may be completely worthless from an artistic standpoint but it certainly can’t be beat from a convenience standpoint.

I loved the movie. The story was very interesting and I am a big fan of Bruce Willis and Cole Hauser. It does a good job of shining some light on one of humanity's darkest areas. The acting was good and overall a very enjoyable experience. We could've done without the strip club scene but thats what a fast forward button is for.

If you're in the mood for a good laugh, give this slopfest a try. My favorite character is **** if you agree.

Another **** action film starring Bruce Willis. It’s getting hard to differentiate them.
