In the traditional ’90s thriller Speed, a madman sticks a bomb on a bus. If the bus’ velocity dips beneath 50 miles an hour, the bomb will explode and everybody on board will die. The premise was so easy, nevertheless it was executed to perfection by director Jan de Bont and a solid that included Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, and Dennis Hopper. It grew to become the fifth-highest grossing film of 1994, spawned a sequel, and made Keanu an motion star for the remainder of his profession.
The new thriller Retribution imagines what would have occurred if as a substitute of a public transit bus, Speed was set in Liam Neeson’s automobile. I’ve been questioning this very factor for many years, and now I lastly have my reply.
In the movie, Neeson performs a probably shady businessman who’s menaced by an unseen killer. Said killer has planted bombs beneath the seats of Neeson’s automobile — which accommodates not solely himself however his youngsters. If Neeson tries to get out of the automobile, the bombs explode, if Neeson doesn’t observe the bomber’s directions, the bombs will explode. And so he’s caught, performing a collection of duties that make the police suppose he is a deranged killer. What’s a Liam Neeson to do? (Presumably, given the title, he’ll get retribution in some unspecified time in the future.)
