Where to Watch ‘Retribution’?: Liam Neeson is known for his parts in gritty dramas and action-packed thrillers. His next movie, “Retribution” (2023), will be another action-packed thriller. Liam Neeson has made a name for himself as a steady performer in action movies, and “Retribution” is no exception. Scheduled to release soon, this Academy Award-nominated actor takes the lead in the film. A remake of the 2015 Spanish movie “El Desconocido,” Neeson portrays Matt Turner, a finance professional and devoted father.
The story starts when he drives his kids to school like he does every day, but then he gets a strange phone call that puts their lives in danger. The tension grows as he has to follow the caller’s directions to keep them safe. Embeth Davidtz, Noma Dumezweni, Lilly Aspell, Jack Champion, Matthew Modine, and Arian Moayed are among the actors in the cast.
Neeson has been in a lot of action movies in the past. In “Retribution,” he gets caught up in situations where he has to make hard decisions to keep his family safe. Notably, this is Neeson’s 100th film, which is quite significant since he just recently appeared in “Marlowe.” Nimród Antal, who is known for tackling dark themes in his movies, works with scriptwriter Chris Salmanpour to bring this gripping story to life.
From the trailers, it’s clear that “Retribution” will give fans what they want: a thrilling experience. The plot is like that of most action thrillers, like “The Commuter,” which Neeson has written before. The trailer for the movie hints that it will have an exciting story like the classic movie “Speed,” but with a unique twist: a father and his children will be in danger inside their car. As the story continues, Matt Turner goes from initially feeling helpless to being motivated to protect his family.
Retribution has a critics rating of 24% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 33 reviews. The average rating is 5.6/10. The critics’ consensus reads: “For a movie about a guy trying to save himself and his kids from a car that might blow up at any moment, it’s curiously low on thrills and complications.” Some of the positive reviews have praised the film’s suspenseful atmosphere and Liam Neeson’s performance. However, most critics have found the film to be too predictable and derivative.
