Retreat is an effective thriller, but deliberate pacing at moments undercut the twists and turns. Ostensibly about an airborne pandemic, but really a movie about relationships, trust and gender roles. A real treat to see such an excellent trio of actors take center stage instead of where they are usually cast–at the edges of more traditional movies. I think Cillian Murphy is hot as can be & provides a lot of meat to a somewhat underwritten character. Thandie Newton should be more famous than she is–a beauty, an intelligent actress & British…Hmmm, I wonder why she isn’t more popular. Jamie Bell succeeds in embodying so many different & believable roles in one character–threatening, trust worthy, vulnerable. He is what every child actor should be.
