For the Sake of Vicious

The daft title tries to promise splatterhouse brazenness, but actually fesses up to the film's lack of imagination.

[Director Gabriel] Carrer's world may be cruel, but it's not exploitative. It's dismal, but never tedious. It's violent, but not soulless. It's our world, like it or not.

Mercifully lacking any pretensions whatsoever, though merciless in every other respect, is this down-and-extremely-dirty thriller by Gabriel Carrer and Reese Eveneshen...

For the Sake of Vicious loses all sense of purpose, except for senseless violence.

When creative and highly trained stunt professionals are part of the alchemy of moviemaking, the results can be magical. A great example of that magic is the action/horror bloodbath For the Sake of Vicious.

"For the Love of Vicious" isn't quite the twisted revenge story it initially promises to be, but for those with patience, it delivers a wild payoff.

A mean, ugly little picture. Even at eighty minutes, this exercise in gratuitous violence made my skin crawl so badly that I couldn't wait for it to be over.

There is a repetition to the attacks in For The Sake of Vicious that worn me down a little bit but the movie really makes up for it with some A+ practical effects.d

For the Sake of Vicious is refreshing for doing one thing and doing it really well... the action scenes.

Double home invasion for a nurse when first she finds a furious interrogation in her kitchen and then hooded and helmeted hoodlums turn up. Exciting, bloody action but sketchy writing.
