Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Retaliation remains good genre fun thanks to charismatic performances and Ueda's dynamic camera work. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 27, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com This Japan is on the cusp of major changes, changes that are resisted by the old guard. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 21, 2020 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Yasuharu Hasebe did not do anything particularly original with "Retaliation", but the way he connected all the elements in the film is quite interesting, and results into a truly memorable movie among the plethora of similar productions of the era. Apr 13, 2020 Full Review Paul Chambers Movie Chambers Many of the action scenes are awkwardly staged, creating confusion. Rated: C Jun 4, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews
