Do Revenge (2022)

Do Revenge is the kind of candy-coated thriller that looks like a glossy teen dream and then bites back with wicked intelligence. It’s stylish to the point of feeling curated—every hallway, outfit, and needle-drop humming with confident, mean-girl-movie nostalgia—while the story keeps tightening its screws with clever turns that make the fun feel earned. The leads are charismatic and perfectly in sync, selling both the comedy and the darker edge as the film toys with power, image, and payback in a way that lands with a sly, feminist wink rather than a lecture. If you don’t enjoy high-school satire or you prefer your teen stories purely sweet, this might be too sharp for your taste—but if you want something entertaining, glossy, and just a little dangerous, it’s a blast.

Do Revenge is aiming for a glossy, mean-girls-meets-Hitchcock teen romp, mixing high-school satire with a twisty revenge setup and a splash of romance. The problem is it often feels longer than its material can support, with stretches that play like familiar teen-movie beats rather than the sharp, nasty “bite” the premise promises. A few turns are easy to see coming, and when it tries to juggle bigger social commentary, it can feel more like window dressing than something the story truly earns. If you want a lean, genuinely dark thriller or deep character work, this may irritate you—but if you’re in the mood for stylish, candy-coated chaos with charismatic leads, it can still be a fun watch.
