Redeemer (2014 film)

Redeemer is a 2014 Chilean martial arts vigilante action film directed by Ernesto Díaz Espinoza and co-written with Guillermo Prieto, Sanz Andrea and Gina Aguad.

Zaror plays a former hit man who seeks redemption through killing the drug gangs he once served.

Former hit man Nicky Pardo regularly plays Russian roulette with a stylized pistol.

Flashbacks reveal that, during a confrontation, he accidentally killed the son of a rival hit man known as the Scorpion.

The gang's boss, an American named Steve Bradock, dismisses his henchmen's fears and orders them to kill Pardo.

On March 18, 2014, XYZ Films announced Redeemer, which Marko Zaror would star in and Ernesto Diaz Espinoza direct.

[5] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter called the action scenes "thrilling to watch" and singled out Zaror's performance as a breakout role.

[7] Martin Tsai of the Los Angeles Times called it lame and derivative action film with contrived scenes that force the characters to resort to martial arts.

[8] Simon Abrams of The Village Voice wrote, "Redeemer may not be as good as its star, but it does give Zaror enough room to shine.
