The Exterminator: Retribution

Just like John Rambo this movie captures a Jake Eastland the son of the exterminator that grabs the guns and goes to fight criminals on the streets of Detroit.

The premise is simple, and i do like a vigilante films, i already saw all of the old ones from 70´s to 80´s, so i couldn´t miss this one.

The cast works well together, the soundtrack, special effects (a little CGI) are cool.

But the main focus for me his the legacy, it carried the movie to it´s objective until the finale.

This thriller is quite good a lean, mean and nasty way of wasting bad guys.

There are some intense interplays, and a disturbing moment or two, but in the end it's not particularly gripping like I would have hoped, i wanted more depth within the characters, the soundtrack is satisfying, and the conclusion is begging for a sequel.

But overall a good revenge flick.

I saw this one on release day on their channel, and somehow i was mesmerized how they pulled it off with a low budget like this, it has that vibe of grindhouse classics and lots of blood, the violence in the late 70's showed more realistic and depressing popular culture, showing the dark side of New York City (full of low lifes, street criminals, drug dealers, drug addicts, underage prostitution, disgusting pedophiles and slimy perverts) So in this first chapter we see him take on a criminal organization led by one mob leader Teschio (D. Dias) so we know it won´t be a easy fight has he struggles with his legacy of the old path done by his father, i liked this backstory wish there was more of it, but that´s not the case here.

The soundtrack is good.

"The Exterminator Retribution" will become a cult classic among the exploitation cinema in time, but like the other flicks from this genre it's not indicated for the general audience...

A vigilante is walking the streets of Detroit, dispatching villains using various methods, his name is the exterminator, never saw the old ones, but like this one.

Now i must see them.

This gritty, violent slice of a movie, brings the pain to the scumbags that prey the innocents.

He hardly used the flamethrower, but i hope to see it more in the future.

It's not exactly original, but is well-written enough to stand on its own as an effective thriller without being overshadowed by more popular films in the genre.

I quite like The Exterminator Retribution, this movie is a major keeper for me.

I was a real surprise to see the exterminator back after all these years, and here it is another great hommage to the movies of 80s.

Here we have the son of the exterminator taking us father flamethrower to do good deeds, and he begins in Colombia.

Here we can see the value of this production, and the real love for this beloved franchise.

Hope to see more movies like this one.
