One IMDb user commented, 'This thriller tragedy starts slow and ends with a bang.

This thriller tragedy starts slow and ends with a bang. The story is a cross between Romeo and Juliet and Scarface, which is self-explanatory. There is some action, but it's the thrills, suspense, and twists that make the movie truly captivating.

The story is a cross between Romeo and Juliet and Scarface... ' Another viewer noted, 'You can't name your film Violent Ends and not have some reasonably high levels of violence... It is quite brutal at times.

' The exact release date, director, runtime, and critical reception remain unconfirmed.

You can't name your film Violent Ends and not have some reasonably high levels of violence throughout the movie. And it does. It is quite brutal at times. What I really liked though was that it made the bad guys really monstrous. They were pure evil and it was especially easy to root for the good guys for this reason. A very important element to any revenge movie.
