As the local pastor, Bishop holds his faith high and even turns his cheek in dicey situations. This drives his two daughters up the wall. Of course, Bishop has to give in when the older one wants to go to a party. But when Sarah witnesses a serious crime, the perpetrator drives her to her death. For Bishop, a world comes crashing down. For him it is clear: he will look for the perpetrators and hunt them down. But where he goes, there are no gods. Here there is only revenge!
What sounds like a hard-hitting revenge thriller naturally strikes a crude note and of course the film celebrates its nihilistic interior. But THE RETALIATORS also celebrates the savagery of the genre, it enjoys playing with its protagonists and the audience, and it has a blast kicking so much ass in the final act that it makes you look like a car. This film is terrific fun for crossover fans and genre geeks! What a soundtrack! What a grenade!
