The whole movie was about revenge, and everything that happened in the movie was an act of revenge, so it definitely wasn't lacking that. I think I know what you mean though - the fight scenes, brutal revenge.

I really liked the ending; and I can honestly say at first... I didn't get it at all and thought "this is silly." But then I did some research and thought about it (along with a few visits to IMDb forums), and I was astonished with how great the ending was once I fully understood it in my own context. It's certainly the type that isn't straight-forward, it lets the viewer decide... come to their own conclusions. It's a thinker's ending.

IMO it did live up to it's hype, and I agree with The_Return, check it out again sometime... you never know. :)
