Liam Neeson's Rotten streak began in 2020.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Retribution continues a negative Rotten Tomatoes trend for star Liam Neeson. The movie, which is a remake of the 2015 Spanish movie El desconocido, was helmed by Predators and Stranger Things director Nimród Antal. It stars Neeson as Matt Turner, a financier who receives a call informing him that there is a bomb in his car while he is driving his kids to school, plunging him into a high-octane game of cat and mouse.
Ahead of the Retribution release date on August 25, the movie has debuted on Rotten Tomatoes. At the time of writing, it has a firmly Rotten score of 30 percent. While it will fluctuate as more reviews are added throughout the weekend, such a low score likely indicates that it will remain Rotten, becoming Neeson's eighth officially Rotten movie in a row. The star hasn't received a Fresh score from critics since 2019, with the romantic drama Ordinary Love.
Is Liam Neeson's Stint As An Action Hero On Its Last Legs? Before 2008, Liam Neeson was best known for his work in dramas, including Kinsey, Les Misérables and Schindler's List, the latter of which earned him an Oscar nomination. However, 2008 saw the premiere of Taken, in which Neeson plays ex-CIA agent Brian Mills, who fights to save his kidnapped daughter.
The negative streak that Retribution perpetuates isn't all action movies, however. The list also includes titles such as the crime drama Marlowe and the 2020 romance Made in Italy. However, action titles are still overwhelmingly represented on the list with continuing negative results. While the success of Taken has turned out lucrative action projects for the star for a decade and a half, if these results continue to worsen, his stint in the genre may soon come to an end.
