In this tense, politically-charged drama, Carlos (Carlos Riccelli), a widower from El Salvador, comes to the U.S. after his wife was horribly tortured and eventually murdered by CIA forces during that nation's long-simmering civil war. Carlos has decided to find the mysterious Mr. Smith (Robert Pine), the U.S. agent who was responsible for the death of his wife (and many others as well), and tracks him to his home. However, as Carlos is about to take his revenge on Mr. Smith, he suddenly finds himself uncertain if he indeed has the right Mr. Smith. The Best Revenge also stars Christian Svensson and Michael Woody.
