Verdict on Retribution
Retribution is an action thriller following a banker who has taken advantage of people being put through a series of events by a mysterious caller. The caller is demanding events to happen, and the banker must do everything to protect his family and find out who is behind the attack.
This is the latest in the Liam Neeson action series of movies. It puts him in a position where he must become the hero to save his family. However, this stops him needing to do much more than driving and relies on his intensity in his voice. It is an entertaining movie, without breaking into the best or worst of his career. An easy late-night action movie is the best way to describe it.
Final Thoughts –Retribution is an entertaining late-night action movie.
