Today brings the first look at Liam Neeson’s next action flick, Retribution, which is kinda like Speed, but more personal.
If you have a hankering for more Liam Neeson action goodness, check out the trailer for Retribution:
This is actually a pretty swanky trailer, and director Nimród Antal does some solid work. As such, I’m more intrigued by Retribution than I expected. Sure, the general concept of having to drive around or get blown up feels familiar, but I’m digging the more personal approach to it. Could be fun.
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.
Retribution hits theaters on August 25, 2023.
