Vengeance Is Mine

7/9/2022

This quirky little thriller sees "Charles Heywood" (Valentine Dyall) as a man who thinks he has a only six months left to live. His mind turns to revenge on a former business partner who stitched him up many years earlier and for whom he ended up going to jail. He engages a seedy character "Sammy Parsons" to kill him at the last minute, make it look like murder and then leave clues leading to his erstwhile colleague. He doesn't bargain on falling in love with his new secretary, nor on a last gasp opportunity to have some life preserving surgery - so now wants to cancel his arrangement. He can't find "Pasrsons" and he genuinely starts living in fear... Alan Cullimore directs this with some aplomb; the story is tense and engaging and much better the you'd normally expect for this low budget
