The Exterminator: Retribution (2022) User Reviews

The fuel is back in the backpack to torch them all.

[sverenkoboby · 8/10 · 20 May 2022]

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.

More than just a violent exploitation film

[trevorshimba · 7/10 · 21 May 2022]

A tough, adult exploitation film in which violence and retribution are the main themes.

Essentially the story follows the son of the exterminator, in a one man army against crime, i missed these vigilante movies and with this one, it hitted the spot.

The actors do their job well, mainly the exterminator and the crime lord.

Though the film only has one scene of strong gore, the series of deaths are impactful and pretty disturbing.

The film concentrates on the various ways the exterminator kills his enemy´s.

Essential viewing for vigilante fans.

The exterminator returns with his massive flamethrower frying the street scum...

[AaronMikea · 8/10 · 25 May 2022]

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.

Great action movie

[albertginger · 21 May 2022]

If you like Vigilante+Death Wish+Warriors than this is the movie for you, it got that real connection and vibe with the 80´s, starting with the music, and the way he deals with the criminals in the most savage way, you will be pleased.

The principal motivation of Jake (the new exterminator) is to pick up his father´s mask and be the exterminator, but he will have to deal with a new Don a guy called Teschio, this guy is number 1 in Detroit (he doesn´t die in this one, so i´m hopefull that this won´t end here) he´s a good villain, but the men working for him, can´t find Jake, they try but they die.

I had a great time watching this on their channel, so It's time to take out the trash.

7/10.

A solid revenge.

[varietyreviews · 8/10 · 22 May 2022]

A decent acting, a strong storyline, some "rough" violence, sums up what we get in this return of the exterminator.

This one is pretty action-packed right from the jump. The opening shows our protagonista in Colombia taking out a kingpin (references to scarface) Rather than being strictly a revenge/vigilante exploit film though, the character development is enough to really feel the bond between the exterminator and is uncle, and makes it easy to root for Jake as he's blastin' his way through the city.

8.5/10.

Society is in decay and only the exterminator can restore it.

[stevelambertalien · 9/10 · 20 May 2022]

This is a vigilante movie, without a doubt, so i was looking forward to it, it´s violent and nasty like the old Cannon classics, Director, writer Rui Constantino. Offers a punchy vigilante film for us to go back to the golden years.

The story follows Jake Eastland the son of the original exterminator, that receives a letter from his uncle, only to tell him that his father wants him to pick up his legacy and vanish crime from the city of Detroit forever, the only problem is Don Teschio a mob leader that rules the city, he owns cops, judges, senators, so everybody works for him, so it won´t be an easy task for the young man, but he manages to go well in this movie, i liked to see a new flamethrower, another mask, to give it a futuristic look, and the villains are great.

Overall. A good time that lives on full action of the 80´s, violent and tricky so i´m giving it 9.

Corruption, violence on a city in flames.

[bosven · 8/10 · 4 June 2022]

Director Constantino digs deep in the life of the exterminator´s son, proving that violence is the only way to stop the killings and the siege from the enemy´s that prey on society.

Jake Eastland ins´t a superhuman, just a quiet, reflective man wielding a very, very big flamethrower, in a dark savage world.

The old ways are back.

[sancholuis · 8/10 · 26 May 2022]

This movie is bad to the bone.

Director Rui Constantino recreates the legendary one man army the exterminator with another powerfull new flamethrower, that kills all bad guys, leaving to rotten in the sun.

Lots of weapons, explosions, pursuit, fear, suspense fills the gritty movie.

All in all, I'd strongly recommend this film to everyone interested in vigilante flicks "The Exterminator Retribution" is surely an unforgettable experience. 8 out of 10.

If the law wont stop them the exterminator will...

[tyeddd-68700 · 7/10 · 21 May 2022]

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.

The exterminator is back!

[AlSanders81 · 9/10 · 21 May 2022]

It's a violent movie from the first to the last minute! The son of the Exterminator takes his father's place and cleans house, or at least he tries.

Don Teschio gets his business and his grip on the city shaken in an amazing performance by Miguel D. Dias.

Pedro Pinecross delivers a great uncle Tom!

Rui Constantino gives us another great action, bloody and violent film that pays homage to another classic!

Congrats to all for another amazing work!

This looks like that old grindhouse classics.

[vascomiguelaras · 7/10 · 22 May 2022]

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 gratuitously violent, rollercoaster ride.

[jexrichy · 10/10 · 27 May 2022]

Indeed this all-out action, and includes a huge battle in the end with the exterminator taking out some baddies in an amazing way.

The final fifteen minutes are sheer bliss for the action lover who's looking for a good time.

This movie is so eye-blindingly beautiful I can't find the words to properly end my commentary and render justice to this cinematic masterpiece.

The exterminator rocks.

[yensithshi · 7/10 · 23 May 2022]

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 Like the Way Snrub Thinks

[refinedsugar · 2/10 · 9 October 2023]

I'll start this off on a positive note. I have nothing against fan fiction, but I can't stand self promotion when it means people are being lied to. I found out about 'Exterminator: Retribution' because this short film gets a mention on the original's wiki page. So I tracked it down and the reality of someone's ego set in as I was bathed in cheap amateur hour fantasy.

John Eastland before he passed away gave Uncle Tom (that's not a joke) a handwritten note to pass to his grown son Jake (director, writer, star Rui Constantino) when the time was right. He apologies for not being there more but explains it was because he was busy and needs to reveal a secret. That he was the 'Exterminator' and now it's his son's time to be the hero the city needs. So he battles thugs, saves victims, kills dirty police and takes on a powerful mob boss.

I've seen more than a few people try to prop themselves up on IMDb. I feel with good certainly that's going on here. So many positive well liked reviews, overall score. Tell me that this isn't the director himself. Look at his bio / credits. Maybe crew, friends, family doing this. I could get mad about it, but it's just sad. Can't get any real praise so why not create it yourself.

Working with friends & possessing some computer skills, he obviously had little budget and delivers a disjointed story. The Exterminator always appears via green screen as he fires a weapon. All the violence is CGI rendered. Filming is composed of everyday footage he could snag - commuter train going by, a bunch of fire trucks responding to a call. What's not is someone's house, basement, a warehouse they probably worked at. Maybe some drone shots, stock footage.

This 44 minute (not including credits) piece is a barrage of amateur acting, drastic up & down camera work and feels like a fans creation all the way. It captures the spirit by using a welders mask & a flamethrower in a bit of fan service, but let's be real about it's quality. One explosion is literally taken from a video game. Don't believe me? Watch 'Retribution' and you be the judge.

The offspring of the exterminator battles the mob.

[harpboss · 9/10 · 30 May 2022]

The First Exterminator film is a cult classic among fans of Revenge and exploitation flicks.

Now we have his son that picks up his mantle and starts killing everyone of a mob organization led by a godfather called Don Teschio, this guy is in charge of everything in the city, so the young man will have a difficult task at hands, in this movie he destroys warehouses of dope, a pier, and an industrial complex.

This movie reminded a lot of golden years of Cannon, so it his my pleasure to give it a 9.

An effective vigilante tale

[timdugans · 7/10 · 20 May 2022]

We got Jake Eastland the son of the exterminator taking his father´s legacy on the criminals of the city.

While there are flaws in this movie, the violence here is vicious and powerful, exploitation fans will love this.

One guy gets his head cut off with a machete, one guy is vaporized.to the bone.

This is a world of drug pushers, murderers, and more-the scum of the Earth led by a mob boss who does an amazing job with the character, all the cast is great and believable.

For fans of revenge movies and exploitation.

It´s really crazy.

The exterminator´s son gives flames to thugs.

[dinispereira-31929 · 7/10 · 23 June 2022]

This is a vigilante movie in every sense, His circle of vigilantism extends beyond low-level thugs too. He even goes after a mafia boss, exterminating all his men.

In need of an exterminator. I think the answer is yes.

A good movie.

[estevesalberto-06622 · 7/10 · 23 July 2022]

I don´t even know this saga, but this movie is really good, it brings back the old street justice feeling, it knows what it wants and it takes us on to follow the path the exterminator´s son makes for himself.

A true dramatic and action movie that brings on the goods, and delivers.

A good revenge flick

[andrefrasco · 7/10 · 24 May 2022]

This is a must see.for many reasons, it's low budget and that shows too, it has gore, violence, executions in the face, and the famous flamethrower.

So the story picks up a few years after the original exterminator dies, his son continues his work, with the help of his uncle who knows what his father was doing every night, the final confrontation of this movie is for the ages, as the exterminator goes berserk and starts killing everyone and destroys a warehouse.

The acting was all believable, loved the scenes where the mob boss talks on the phone with the swat leader to kill the exterminator, liked the conversation between him and one of the victims at the end of the movie, it really carried the drama too.

For me it´s 7.4/10,and i will be waiting for a sequel because in the end credits says the exterminator will return, so i´m guessing he will be back.
