“The Retaliators” (** out of four) was a gory, one-note horror melodrama about a morally conflicted pastor (Michael Lombardi) who is unable to move on with his life until he solves his daughter’s brutal murder and in doing so uncovers a dark and twisted underworld involving sadism and brutality that he is determined to put an end to. Film takes an awfully long time to get going but final third does deliver in terms of blood-drenched kills and action. Blink and you’ll miss Brian O’Halloran, Robert Burke, and also Tommy Lee who show up in meaningless cameos.
