I haven't seen the first film, VENGEANCE, but on the strength of RETALIATION I'm in no hurry to. This is an action film that plays out in an extremely mindless way, with no thought at all having gone into the storyline. It just assembles a number of one-dimensional characters at a warehouse and industrial estate, splits them into two or three factions, and has them fight each other endlessly until the end credits roll. The best thing about it is the fight choreography, with well-executed kicks and satisfying hits throughout, but with no story or decent dialogue alongside it quickly becomes extremely mindless. The hero is a brawny ex-wrestler and Vinnie Jones is the baddie, and the whole thing treads water.
