Liam Neeson's latest film, Retribution, released its official trailer on Wednesday, featuring the actor's trademark high-energy action sequences, including car chases and explosive stunts.
The film stars Neeson as Matt Turner, who receives a warning from an unknown caller about a bomb planted in his car. This sets off a nerve-racking pursuit throughout the city as Turner races to fulfill a series of challenging demands.'
However, things take a deadly turn when Turner realizes that the bomb will detonate if he or his children leave the car, forcing him to follow the cryptic commands in a desperate attempt to save his family.
“Listen very carefully, or I kill you” the distorted voice booms eerily over Turner’s phone in the trailer. Neeson's character receives a chilling instruction to open his glovebox, which reveals a weapon he is supposed to use to kill his friend in a nearby car.
However, Turner refuses to comply and tosses the weapon out of the car, causing his friend's vehicle to explode. The anonymous voice then declares, "You're a murderer now, Matt."
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Matthew Modine, Noma Dumezweni, Jack Champion, Lilly Aspell, and Embeth Davidtz.
Despite previously revealing to Entertainment Tonight in 2021 that his age was causing him to consider retirement from action movies, Neeson's upcoming projects suggest otherwise. Along with Retribution, he is set to star in several other films, such as In the Land of Saints and Sinners and Thug.
