Great Performances and Nice Twist
Retribution (1928)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Henry B. Walthall made his talkie debut in this 10-minute short from Vitaphone. In the film he plays a once rich man who has found himself in the dumps due to drug abuse and other issues. He goes to see a former friend (Tom McGuire), now a Senator, and he's not too open to giving the man a second chance. RETRIBUTION is certainly one of the best shorts I've seen from Vitaphone and it works on many levels including the excellent performances from the two leads. Walthall was clearly an actor who could go from silent cinema to the sound pictures as his voice is just perfect. It's interesting to see how well he does in his first talkie because many people struggle but the actor pulls it off perfectly. I was also impressed with McGuire and there's no question that the two men work well together and deliver the story. What really makes this film interesting is a twist that happens in the final minutes. I'm not going to ruin what this twist is but it's just so clever that you can't help but smile and really enjoy it.
