The Retaliators | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Gory and ridiculous, this genre hopper manages, sort of, to succeed as both a revenge thriller and a sicko horror movie. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 26, 2022 Full Review Mark Keizer AV Club An ungainly horror mashup that works in pieces, most notably during its climatic free-for-all, but not as a whole. Rated: C- Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian This is a resolutely sexist film, where all women are basically either passive victims or strippers in a club where Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe spins the discs and slaps them on the bottom for fun. Rated: 2/5 Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana The Geek Show (UK) With a lack of any real solid main character energy or perspective, it becomes muddled as to which player the audiences are meant to follow and align themselves with. Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review A bloody revenge flick that doesn’t quite land on even footing, but proves for fine genre escapism for those that have the stomach and appreciation. Rated: 3/5 Nov 25, 2023 Full Review DarkSkyLady DarkSkyLady Reviews The Retaliators is another holiday action horror film to rest beside Die Hard and Krampus in your collection.

Everything You Want In A Horror Flick! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/22 Full Review David I hate movies whose main goal is just to be as mindlessly depraved as possible. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/28/22 Full Review Tif It was great, definitely a fun movie and I loved the cameos from my favorite bands. Only thing is that they had this entire pointless subplot with the gangs to include them and it was a bit obvious. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/19/22 Full Review Read all reviews
