Reception

The film has a 38% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[4] Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Aside from the British accents, there's nothing here to distinguish I Am Vengeance from any '80s/'90s straight-to-video fodder."[2] Bobby LePire of Film Threat gave the film 7 stars out of 10 and wrote, "I Am Vengeance does not break the mold, but it uses its tried and true formula to good effect. Decent action, interesting characters, and a fantastic cast make for a fun watch."[1]

Sequel

The film spawned a sequel I Am Vengeance: Retaliation (2020) with Ross Boyask returning as screenwriter and director and Wade Barrett reprising his role as John Gold.[5][6][7]
