Adapted from John Middleton's 17th Century play, 'Revengers Tragedy', and set in a post-apocalyptic future, 2011. Vindici returns to his birth place to wreak vengeance on the murderer of his wife, but the killer has become a powerful man and Vindici must be patient if he is to win his quarry's affections. 'Revengers Tragedy' is a visually spectacular mess of a movie and, this being an Alex Cox film, that's a good thing.
