Reception

Chris D., author of Outlaw Masters of Japanese Film described Retalliation as "a decent programmer" and that "staging is effective but occasionally it results in cluttered compositions that contribute to narrative confusion". The review concluded that 'Hasebe takes his tory seriously, because the performances are realistically downbeat situations save the picture".[5]
