Narrative structure – what happens in the film and in what order (max 100 words)? The film takes place in current in current Miami, Florida where an ex-marine soldier man comes home from work to find his family killed in cold blood. As left behind evidence prove to be the most ruthless gang in all of Miami known as the Poison Ivies. As his mind fills with anger and Vengeance he sets out to destroy the gang.

Target audience for your film (age, gender, social class, interests etc.):

My target audience is aimed at teenagers aged 16-55 and over because the movie can contain violent gory scenes and a lot of explicit language. Also more aimed at the male and largely the middle class with parents in ABC1 Social class classification. Audience likely to be in education, thinking about going to university and interested in hard-core ruthless films.

User Reviews

By far the Best Movie of the Year, Best Actor, Best Director! The whole supporting cast is excellent as well. This movie will not disappoint it was much better than I expected and the duration of the movie is not felt at all. It definitely did not feel like a 3 hour production. Scorsese put this movie together brilliantly! You are on your toes and engaged throughout from beginning to end. Leonardo DiCaprio is at his best! He will take you through the highs and lows of the movie with an Oscar Winning Performance. I read about Jordan Beaufort and it appears that Scorsese and DiCaprio made this movie as accurate as possible which I really appreciate. I commend Scorsese and DiCaprio for keeping this epic picture as authentic as possible. After all this is Hollywood.
