📺 On the edge of danger with Liam Neeson… again. Directed by Nimród Antal — who also worked on several episodes of Stranger Things — and starring Liam Neeson, Retribution is a remake of a Spanish film by the same name that follows a Berlin-based investment banker who, along with his two children, gets caught in a life-and-death crisis.

The plot: Matt Turner (Neeson) is a veteran banker who has been managing investment funds for 18 years alongside his boss and close friend Anders (Matthew Modine). Though his life appears to be perfect, we soon find out that his wife, Heather (Embeth Davidtz), is unhappy with how he prioritizes work and clients over his family — including their children, Zach (Jack Champion) and Emily (Lilly Aspell).

One morning, while driving his kids to school, Matt finds a phone ringing in his car. When he answers, a mysterious voice tells him that a bomb has been planted under his seat and will detonate the moment he opens the door or tries to get up. Matt is thrown into a race against time to save his children, while also dealing with the unknown caller behind the threat — who not only endangers his family, but also his closest friend.

The film offers what you would expect from a Liam Neeson movie — entertainment. It also has a fast-paced plot that keeps the suspense going from the very beginning. While the premise is nothing new and has been seen and done before, Neeson’s performance is enough to hold your attention, especially if you enjoy action packed thrillers and want to find out the identity and fate of the person on the phone.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can watch the film on OSN+ or catch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 2:02).
