The Neeson Action Factor
Liam Neeson has made a notable mark in Hollywood with his gripping roles in action films. With movies like Taken, The Grey, and Non-Stop, his legacy in the action-thriller genre is well-established. Continuing his streak, Neeson now returns with ‘Retribution’—an action-packed drama set to release on August 25, 2023.
This isn’t just another entry in his resume but a movie that promises a mix of high-octane chases, suspense, and the classic Neeson factor. Especially when we learn that meddling with Liam Neeson’s on-screen family is, and always will be, a bad idea.
What’s ‘Retribution’ All About?
Directed by Nimrod Antal and penned by Chris Salmanpour, ‘Retribution‘ offers an intense storyline. Matt Turner, played by Neeson, is just another finance professional who suddenly finds his day turned upside down. Receiving a threatening call while transporting his kids to school, he learns that a bomb has been planted under his car seat. What follows is a desperate quest to save his family, with each turn dictated by the mysterious caller’s dangerous demands.
Adding more depth to the cast, the film also features Neeson’s Schindler’s List co-star Embeth Davidtz and notable names like Noma Dumezweni, Lilly Aspell, and Matthew Modine.
Where Can You Catch ‘Retribution’?
On the Big Screen
Retribution, while holding its own in the summer blockbuster category, is set for a grand release in theatres, backed by Lionsgate Films. Cinema enthusiasts can grab their popcorn and experience the thrill from August 25, competing head-to-head with titles like The Retirement Plan and Gran Turismo. If you’re keen on catching it first-hand, Fandango will help you locate a local screening.
Streaming Platforms: A Waiting Game
Those accustomed to couch-viewing might need to hold their horses. As of its release date, the only place you’ll find ‘Retribution‘ is in theatres. Though Lionsgate Films has ties with Peacock and Roku, any streaming release will wait until its cinema run concludes.
That being said, platforms like Amazon, Vudu, and Apple might soon provide rent or purchase options. Speculations also hint at its availability on Netflix, given its past associations with Lionsgate titles, but nothing is set in stone. Disney Plus enthusiasts will have to skip this one, as Retribution wasn’t produced under the Universal Pictures umbrella.
Free Streaming? Tread Carefully!
For those scouting the internet for free streaming options, websites like 123Movies might hint at availability. However, viewers should always exercise caution while navigating such platforms to ensure they aren’t violating any copyright norms.
