REVIEW: “Violent Ends” (2025)

“Violent Ends” is a truly independent film, created outside of mainstream studio systems. Beyond its funding and production, the movie tells a captivating and original story rooted in a particular Southern setting. It prioritizes complex characters and nuanced storytelling over big action sequences, focusing on how their difficult lives are shaped by their surroundings. Director Powell also clearly enjoys the thriller genre, which adds depth and richness to this Southern Gothic tale of revenge.
