Revenge Is On Orlando Bloom’s Mind In Retaliation Trailer

After making it’s world premiere at the 2017 Edinburgh Film Festival, Retaliation is close to it’s general release. Saban Films released the film’s U.S Trailer, as revenge is on Orlando Bloom‘s mind.
Originally called Romans, the film follows Malky a demolition worker whose world is turned upside down. During a night out with friends he comes face to face with the man who abused him when he was a child. As the trauma of the past destroys him, Malky plans to seek revenge and make the man responsible repent his ‘sins’.
Ludwig Shammasian, Paul Shammasian film focuses on the mistrust and effects of child abuse especially from the Church. It doesn’t necessarily focus on one exact religion, sadly every day we read also watch the news and we here more stories.
We caught the British indie at the 2017 Edinburgh Film Festival with writer Andrew McArthur saying “The beating heart of Romans is a sublime leading performance from Orlando Bloom. This is a performance that respectfully captures the subtle pain, shame and hurt that plagues victim. Bloom is at his most raw and transformative.”
