If you’re craving bone-crunching fight scenes, stylish kills, and a revenge plot that never slows down, The Ruska Roma Assassin’s Revenge delivers—but don’t expect much beyond that. This film follows a deadly assassin (think John Wick meets Atomic Blonde) trained in the shadowy traditions of the Ruska Roma crime syndicate, who goes on a rampage after her father’s murder.
What Works: Pure, Unfiltered Action
- Fight Choreography: The combat is brutal, fast, and well-shot—no shaky cam here. Fans of John Wick will appreciate the gun-fu and close-quarters knife fights.
- Visual Style: Moody lighting, sleek costumes, and a gritty Eastern European underworld aesthetic give the film a distinct look.
- Pacing: It never drags. From the first act, the movie hits the gas and doesn’t let up.
What Doesn’t: A Shallow Revenge Tale
- Zero Character Depth: The protagonist has no backstory, no emotional arc—just rage and revenge. Even the villains are forgettable.
- Predictable Plot: If you’ve seen any revenge thriller, you’ll guess every beat after the first 25 minutes.
- Repetitive Action: By the third act, the endless waves of faceless henchmen feel tedious rather than thrilling.
Verdict: Worth a Watch?
✅ For Action Junkies – If you just want cool fights and stylish violence, this delivers.
❌ For Story Lovers – If you need emotional weight, clever twists, or deep themes, look elsewhere.

Final Thoughts: A Missed Opportunity?
This film had the potential to be more than just a John Wick clone—with a stronger script and deeper characters, it could’ve stood on its own. Instead, it settles for mindless (but well-executed) action.
Should you watch it?
- Theater? Only if you love big-screen fights.
