About Retribution

Retribution drops you into a tense cat and mouse between Matt Turner, a bank executive, and an unseen caller who plants a bomb under his car seat. With his children strapped in the back, Turner is thrust into a ruthless high-speed game through the city. A crafted sequence of precise demands drives him to perform dangerous tasks before a timer runs out, each choice tightening the noose around him. The ride tests his wits, his resolve, and his willingness to protect his family, all while the bustling metropolis becomes a single shifting obstacle course. The setup keeps the suspense tight without tipping into melodrama, keeping the focus squarely on immediate danger and paternal duty.

Directed by Nimród Antal, Retribution arrives in 2023 with Liam Neeson leading the cast; the screenplay, by Chris Salmanpour and Alberto Marini, presents a lean, high-octane thriller built for a wide screen release.

With an average score of 6.56 from 1,320 votes, the film lands in the middle of the thriller pack, delivering brisk pacing and a clear focus on family protection. Themes center on parental responsibility under pressure and the ethics of quick, consequential choices.
