Starring Orlando Bloom, Janet Montgomery, Anne Reid, James Smillie, Charlie Creed-Miles and Alex Ferns.
SYNOPSIS:
Decades after he was molested by a Catholic priest, a man deals with his abuser’s return as he is tasked with demolishing the church where the crimes took place.
Over the last year, dozens of smaller films have been released digitally, taking advantage of the increased attention on VOD platforms while cinemas have been closed.
Retaliation – originally known as
Romans, after the Bible verse referenced late on – is an unusual case though, in that it premiered on the festival circuit way back in 2017. Given its powerful premise and the presence of a bona fide A-list star in leading man Orlando Bloom, it’s difficult to understand what has left this gathering dust on the shelf for so long.
