Description: Drea (Camilla Mendes) and Eleanor (Maya Hawke) agree to go after one another’s bullies.

Review: After a furtive encounter Drea and Eleanor join forces to go after each other’s tormentors. “Do Revenge” is a modern take on “Strangers on a Train”, with elements of “Mean Girls” and “Cruel Intentions”. A dark comedy with the scariest protagonists: teenage girls.

“Do Revenge” is a typical teen movie with a clear nod to modern audiences. The film has a bright and bold vibe, while being a dark comedy. I like that contrast. It’s not the most original film, but it has some fun twists.

The film is entertaining enough and has enough surprises and progression to justify the two hours. A film that is carried by Maya Hawke and Camilla Mendes, who are very talented and mostly known for their series “Stranger Things” and “Riverdale”.

Reviews are mixed, but I kinda liked it.

Rating: 3/ 5
