20 Worst Movies Of 2023
13. Retribution
As gimmick thrillers go, Retribution at least had a fun concept, with Liam Neeson's embattled protagonist forced to stay sat down in his car, lest a bomb explode if he moves his keister.
But that's basically where the amusement ends for this thoroughly naff riff on Speed minus the charm, excitement, and basic sense of thrills.
The script evidently struggles to drag the concept out to feature length, throwing in a desperate plot twist and yawn-inducing villain reveal you'll likely see coming at least a few miles away.
While it's all certainly preferable to having Neeson continuing to beat up men one-third his age, this is a thoroughly immobile action-thriller that remains stuck in neutral for its entirety.
