Retribution Ratings & Reviews
IGN Movies
A.A. Dowd
For a movie about a guy trying to save himself and his kids from a car that might blow up at any moment, it's curiously low on thrills and complications.
New York Times
Amy Nicholson
When will this genre escape its own tropes of sepia-tinted skies, italicized poster fonts and titles seemingly chosen by plopping a finger onto a page of the Old Testament?
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
It arrives in theaters the last week of August, which is the moviegoing equivalent of desperately scanning the faces at a bar just before closing time.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The cards and the cast of players may be different, but the stakes, given the way the game has been played over and over again in the past, are low.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Slowed by ludicrous dialogue and obvious plot turns...
Arizona Republic
Amanda Luberto
The action-thriller is formulaic and obvious. In other words, it's just another Neeson movie, nothing more, nothing less.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
The film's 90 minutes whiz by.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Neeson's last few action flicks may have been just for fans, but "Retribution" is for everybody.
Slant Magazine
Ross McIndoe
Without a compelling reason for us to care about the people inside the car, a reasonably diverting journey never accelerates into an outright thrill-ride.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
A film so devoid of thrills, excitement, or purpose that it seems to have been custom-made to play in empty multiplexes during the traditionally dead last weeks of summer.
Observer
Rex Reed
Another routine action programmer-doubly forgettable, because he [Neeson] does the whole thing sitting down.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
Watching Liam Neeson finally attempt to escape the car bomb is mildly entertaining; there's just a mediocre movie to sit through first.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Sleek and efficient as a jaguar, this Liam Neeson vehicle comes up with a simple, singular premise and then floors it.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Matt can park the car every so often to catch his breath; he just can't get out. This is a writing decision that robs the film of any possible chance at gaining momentum, and also perhaps best exemplifies Neeson's career over the past decade and a half.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
Retribution is not the worst of his thrillers/action movies, but it does suggest that Neeson may want to consider retiring from the everyman action-hero beat for good.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Director Nimrod Antal and writer Christopher Salmanpour don't reinvent the wheel; indeed, the whole exercise pivots on creating an excuse to put Neeson behind it and, essentially, leave the driving to him.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
This is a paycheck movie, to be sure, the kind of direct-to-video title that gets a theatrical release because the lead actor still has star power. But he and his director have earned that paycheck.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Neeson has become such a pro at this that he can make a stressed-out guy in a wired-up car thrilling enough.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
The best adjective I can think of to describe this film is "efficient." It gets the job done, much as one would expect.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
I'd recommend Retribution if the weather is too hot and you want to spend a few hours in air conditioning. Otherwise, it's a pass.
