Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Retribution (out Sep 21) is reminiscent of the 1994 hit Speed. A businessman is driving his kids to school in Berlin when told there's a bomb under his seat which will detonate if he leaves the car. It’s hard to see audiences on the edge of their seats for this. The further it goes, the less sense it makes. Noma Dumezweni (as a police detective) gives the only above-average performance. Grade: C+.
