Among the movies that will arrive on Hulu this month is Retribution, a high-octane Liam Neeson thriller that has garnered a dedicated fan base since its theatrical release. The constantly revolving doors of the Disney-owned streaming platform’s rich library are also set to welcome a plethora of other new titles this month, including multiple action classics, as well as iconic movies and TV shows from various genres.
Liam Neeson-led Retribution arrives on Hulu this month
Subscribers of Hulu will soon be able to stream 2023’s Retribution on their preferred devices.
As per ComicBook.com, the action thriller, directed by Nimród Antal and written by Chris Salmanpour, is officially coming to the shores of the said streaming service on January 21, 2026.
Featuring Liam Neeson in the lead, the action movie revolves around the misadventures of a financier and father of two, Matt Turner. One day, while driving with his children, he receives a threatening phone call from a mysterious person, who informs him that there is an active bomb in his car. As such, to ensure the survival of his kids, Turner decides to comply with the unknown assailant’s demands, all the while contemplating a way to get out of the scuffle.
A remake of the 2015 Spanish action thriller El desconocido, the movie also features a competent supporting cast alongside Neeson, including Noma Dumezweni, Lilly Aspell, Jack Champion, Arian Moayed, Embeth Davidtz, and Matthew Modine.
Despite having a veteran actor like Liam Neeson in the lead, Retribution failed to impress both audiences and critics upon its release. The film could only gather a little over $18 million at the worldwide box office during its theatrical run, as per Box Office Mojo.
Moreover, the movie has recorded an underwhelming Tomatometer score of 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. Nevertheless, viewers seem to have enjoyed Retribution a bit more upon its digital premiere, as evidenced by a much more impressive PopcornMeter score of 67%. Thus, fans of the film can look forward to streaming it on Hulu soon.
