A stylish and enjoyable fight flick with just enough tongue-in-cheek content to keep us smiling.

A very dumb, and very satisfying throwback to a simpler time when American action films were as predictable as they were formulaic.

A hysterically entertaining train wreck.

Story-wise, the movie's not reinventing the wheel, but the combat highlights are many and varied enough to please fans.

Rated: 3/5

There are smarter and more original action films to watch in the world, but few, trashy or earnest, are this consistently entertaining or brute force in their own honesty.

Rated: 3/5

As it progresses, scene after scene in Retaliation are infused with this crazy little thing called "fun", and Moussi feels much more at home than he ever did in the first movie.

As with the previous entry with Tong Po, played perfectly by Bautista, this is another great action flick. Poor acting at times drags it down, but it is still a remarkably good movie.

This is over the top and doesn't take itself too serious. But it is FUN!! The action sequences are plentiful and nicely done. HIGHLY recommended for action fans.

It took everything that didn't work in the last movie and improved on it and cranked up the cheese to 11

I thought this movie was great as it included so many real-life fighters from boxing, UFC, and stong-man competitions to make the fight scenes better. Other than the beginning of the movie & how he was captured, I thought the rest was good and the fight scenes even better.

Series of fight sequences that are all around the places &loosely orchestrated. It feels more like a scenic tour than a good action movie, fine for killing time but waste for much talents involved. Really expecting more...
