“Retribution” excels in delivering a tension-filled, action-packed experience, driven by Liam Neeson’s compelling performance. While the plot occasionally treads familiar ground, the film’s high-speed chases and intense sequences keep the excitement level high. The visuals are particularly noteworthy, capturing the urgency and claustrophobia of the situation. However, the storyline sometimes falls into predictability, and the dialogue could be sharper. Overall, it’s a solid entry for fans of the thriller genre and Neeson’s action-packed filmography.
