Strike Back (TV Series) Retribution: Part 4 (2017) User Reviews

Boring conclusion to a 2-parter

[Rat_27 · 1/10 · 17 February 2018]

The plot is starting to congeal, but slowly. The Evil Chick is still on the loose, and her parts of her plan are starting to be revealed. The tactics displayed in this episode were laughable. It is starting to feel that this whole thing was phoned in.

One thing I noticed was the these two episodes had local bad guys. By that, I mean ones that were clearly not intended to be around for the whole season. But, for these two episodes, it seemed like the guy was more hung up on his sister than anything else. The chick flick vibe was strong in this episode.

Since we are at the halfway point of the season, there is a surprise twist at the very end. I'm 40% of the way through the season, and I'm now finding myself powering through it. I think it took me three tries to get through this episode.

... soldiering on.

Pretty weak jumps to horribly stupid

This whole season has been a letdown from previous Strike Back seasons But I kept holding out hope. This one is cause for finally writing this review.

Bad acting a terrible plot give way to ridiculous shoot outs 6ft away and 20 people miss their shots??

The end of this episode is a poorly written bad joke. The Romanians take the evil DR. We learn from a phone conversation sec 20 will get him back in 1 day. Do they follow the Romanian police back to town? Of course not! The half dozen soldiers get ambushed on a bridge and all killed within minutes by?

You guessed it! The show's antagonist Mary Lowry! Single handed she wipes out every highly trained Romanian soldier. The whole sequence of this episode was so poorly written, acted, and directed it drags down the fun level for the entire season!! Sad to say but I'll skip to the next season and hope for the best.
