Yep, it's a Liam Neeson action-thriller that kind of looks like all his other action-thrillers. Liam has that one-note Irish Bad Boy thing down that gets him in so much trouble after frame 12 in all his flicks. This time he is a retired killer (The Grave Digger) and alcoholic that does light work for his ex-boss, Ed Harris. One unfortunate night, Neeson's son, Kinnaman, gets accidentally involved in some nasty business with Harris' son, Danny. Liam takes Danny out in order to save Mike's life. When Harris hears of his Danny being killed by Liam circumstances are out the window and an eye-for-an-eye kicks in like a mule to get this film going.
Plenty of action for the shoot'um up crowd. But, no matter how different it may be Neeson is in the middle of it and it looks like his last movie. I'm thinking he needs a change of pace: Otello.
Sure, a lot of you will hunch your shoulders and buy a ticket anyway and that's okay. I could be raining or something and it beats being at the house.
Follow Ups:
He could play Matt Scudder and do the whole series, lord knows there are better books in it than AWATT. Keep him busy for years.
He was perfect as that character though it was a faulty film that almost but not really clicked.
"Once this was all Black Plasma and Imagination" -Michael McClure
...here's another take on it.
"....the right formula met the right actor, and ever since, it has been a delight watching Neeson play downtrodden, fundamentally decent men who realize themselves by becoming homicidal maniacs."
Love the self-actualization via homicidal maniac comment. Yes, this is so viewer guilty one will want a full trench coat with a very large collar.
...the reviewer even liked "Taken 2" and "Non-Stop". I didn't.
Which I enjoyed very much. Would like to see more stories of that ilk.
