When his pregnant wife is violently killed by a criminal that he put away, Mason, a hard-nosed detective, deliberately gets arrested to get revenge. While inside, Mason discovers a new criminal enterprise that those behind it would kill to protect.
Vendetta was filmed in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada.[citation needed]
Vendetta was part of a six-film deal WWE Studios made with Lionsgate that will be releasing WWE's Action Six-Pack, a series of unconnected action films.[5]
Vendetta received a limited theatrical release.[2] It was released to theaters and Video on Demand on June 12, 2015.[1]
The Hollywood Reporter described the film as "the sort of B-movie violent actioner that makes you feel your testosterone level rising as you watch it", while the "screenplay offers no surprises, mainly serving as a springboard for the endless series of fight scenes in which Cain demonstrates that he's become a serious movie badass."[2] The Soska sisters "prove themselves quite proficient at staging the brutal skirmishes which inevitably lead to a climatic prison riot."[2]
