(BB, PP, ACAC, Pa, PC, FR, L, VV, M) Strong moral, patriotic, anti-statist or anti-totalitarian government worldview in loud, disjointed action movie, including several jokes made at the Communist dictatorship of North Korea’s expense, undercut by a brief syncretistic pagan reference to a vague multicultural, politically correct “deity” seven relatively light obscenities includes five “h” words and two “a” words, but with a hard-to-hear strong profanity, plus an obscene gesture wall-to-wall action violence with no blood includes punching, kicking, beatings, shootings, bombings, explosions, and swordfights including a major villain being stabbed through the chest with a sword, multiple vehicular fights and chases, the world’s nuclear missile supply is launched with impending destruction of the planet until leaders self-destruct the missiles, London is impressively leveled by another form of bomb hitting it, and head villain pretends to be the U.S.
However, even that’s undercut by a high body count and a brief reference to a vague, politically correct deity or god. JOE: RETALIATION does have a strong moral, patriotic worldview.
Finally, most of the performances are lazy. Also, the storyline jumps from one loud and incomprehensible action sequence to another. Terrible 3D effects render it nearly unwatchable in many fight scenes. JOE: RETALIATION is a loud, disjointed and disappointing action movie, with an incoherent screenplay and incompetent direction. Joe’s return to America to find out what happened and stop the bad guys. President has been secretly kidnapped and replaced by the leader of Cobra, an international terrorist group. When preparing to leave, they get ambushed and many are killed by the United States government. Joe force goes to Pakistan to reclaim a rogue nuclear missile and a suitcase carrying Pakistan’s nuclear launch codes. JOE: RETALIATION presents another set of adventures where an elite fighting force saves the world.
