Liam Neeson stars in Retribution, an immersive ticking clock thriller that straps audiences in for a high-octane ride of redemption and revenge. When a mysterious caller puts a bomb under his car seat, Matt Turner (Neeson) begins a high-speed chase across the city to complete a specific series of tasks. With his kids trapped in the back seat and a bomb that will explode if they get out of the car, a normal commute becomes a twisted game of life or death as Matt follows the stranger's increasingly dangerous instructions in a race against time to save his family.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Retribution may prove mildly diverting for hardcore fans of films depicting Liam Neeson as a parent in peril, but in most respects, this thriller is strictly standard stuff.

Audience Says

Retribution's confined setting and divisive ending don't do it any favors, but if you've enjoyed Liam Neeson's other action movies, this one is suspenseful enough to make it worth a watch.

2/5
An inoffensive but inessential addition to Neeson’s latter-years thriller canon. Less the bus that couldn’t slow down than the car that couldn’t get started. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 10/26/2023
2/5
Some guilty pleasure thrills are what’s on offer but they are frankly annulled by Liam Neeson’s autopilot dullness, a driverless car of a performance from an actor we know to be capable of much more. Go to Full Review Marta Medina Pérez mundoCine Jul 24

Luis V 07/01/2024 Speechless, great movie. See more Tricia 09/30/2023 Loved it and love Liam Neeson ! See more Robert H 09/18/2023 Major technical error. When the car flipped sideways near the end, the pressure (due to gravity) no longer being applied would have caused the bomb to detonate. See more PastorG 09/13/2023 The movie was pretty entertaining then it ended abruptly. One of the worst endings ever. See more Dale P 09/12/2023 Would not recommend. Weak ending.
