Reception

The film has a 38% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. [4] Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Aside from the British accents, there's nothing here to distinguish I Am Vengeance from any '80s/'90s straight-to-video fodder." [2] Bobby LePire of Film Threat gave the film 7 stars out of 10 and wrote, "I Am Vengeance does not break the mold, but it uses its tried and true formula to good effect. Decent action, interesting characters, and a fantastic cast make for a fun watch." [1]
