Retribution (I) (2023)
10/10
A refreshing take on the Liam Neeson action movie.
28 August 2023
Retribution tells the story of a a bank executive named, Matt Turner(Liam Neeson). Matt, his daughter Emily Turner(Lilly Aspell) & his son Zach Turner(Jack Champion) find out that there's a bomb under Matt's car seat. This deadly bomb will explode if they stop & get out of the car.

Retribution is a mind-blowing film. It doesn't deserve all the negative reviews. Director Nimrod Antal has given us a movie that strays from the typical ingredients of the classic Liam Neeson action project, the likes of which we've seen, since the iconic Taken(2008). Don't expect tons of hand-to-hand combat sequences. The majority of Retribution takes place in the car. The set pieces are fantastic. The suspense is maintained brilliantly, throughout the course of its runtime. Liam Neeson is spectacular as Matt Turner. Neeson portrays a wide range of emotions, with ease & panache. Lilly Aspell is phenomenal as Emily Turner. Aspell keeps going from strength to strength as a young actress & has a long & bright future ahead of her, in Hollywood. Jack Champion is outstanding as Zach Turner. Noma Dumezweni is great as Angela Brickman. Embeth Davidtz is awesome as Heather Turner. Matthew Modine is excellent as Anders Muller. The supporting cast is perfect. Retribution is a must watch for Liam Neeson fans. Go in with an open mind about what to expect & you will have a blast!
