Days of Wrath (2013)
7/10
Not As Bad As It Has Been Made Out
29 September 2018
This is a film about young man who, as a teenager, was relentlessly bullied and abused by classmates and school officials. The boy who was his main aggressor and the "pack" lead of his bullies, is wealthy, cruel and rapes his girlfriend while the rest of the pack holds him while he has to helplessly watch. The following day, his girlfriend commits suicide.

Years later, and still guilt ridden and traumatised by his experiences, he is unable to live life the way he wants after dropping out of school to break free from his tormentors. He has a chance encounter with his rich, happy, engaged to a beautiful doctor, aggressor, who acts like it was no big deal. This intices the anger in our main character and he sets out to do what he can to find revenge.

It's not the best. The story has promise but in the end, I was left a bit unsatisfied. While I felt some sympathy for the main character in the beginning of the film, there were some bonding behaviors in the second half of that didn't sit right with me. This had nothing to with the acting and everything to do with the script. The bully got all my hate though. He was just straight A**HOLE all through the film. I wanted to see him get it.

I didn't like the end of the film seeing as how it lacked a bit of poetic justice and there was a little that was left unresolved. It wasn't horrible just not as good as I was hoping.
