Kevin Costner as Michael J. "Jay" Cochran and Madeleine Stowe as Miryea Mendez sitting in a car together in Revenge (1990)
The Big Picture In the Golden Age of Hollywood, western cinema was broadly defined by powerful movie stars like John Wayne, James Stewart, Gary Cooper, and Steve McQueen who developed multiple entries within the genre. Although there have certainly been some terrific modern westerns in the last few years, the genre does not have many singular avatars who dedicate their efforts exclusively to gunslinger stories.
Actors Kevin Costner, Anthony Quinn, Madeleine Stowe Run Time 124 mins Director Tony Scott Release Date February 16, 1990 Studio Columbia Pictures What Is ‘Revenge’ About? While the two films couldn’t be more divergent in terms of tone, Revenge actually begins with a callback to Top Gun. Costner stars as the U.S. Navy aviator Jay Cochran, who intends to leave the service after dedicating over a decade of his life to active duty.
Scott heightens the level of violence in a manner unseen in most commercial action films, making Revenge feel closer in tone and style to the low-budget flicks produced by Cannon Films in the 1980s. A sequence in which Miryea becomes trapped in a home for sex workers after Tibey lashes out is particularly disturbing; while it runs the risk of being too obscene, the gritty tone makes it more rewarding to see Jay eventually dispatch with his enemies ruthlessly.
