Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Liam is great
This movie was so good that I had to buy. It’s gritty, & Liam delivers in his tough guy detective role. Story is great on this one, definitely worth watching.
This is a 3.5 to 4 star movie set in 1999 with an old fashion formula detective mystery story line adapted from one of Lawrence Block's mystery novels. Matt Scudder (Liam Neeson), an unlicensed P.I. and ex-cop suffering from his own demons, agrees to help a heroin trafficker (Dan Stevens) hunt down the men who kidnapped and brutally murdered his wife. As Scudder investigates the crime he discovers another victim has been kidnapped. The line between right and wrong blurs as he races to save the the latest victim before she is brutally killed.
Blu-ray 2.40:1 format with limited extra features.
Because it was Liam Neeson in the lead, I somehow expected an action shoot-em up. It wasn't quite that! A crime thriller, certainly, and with plenty of gun play to touch my expectations.
I enjoyed this modest movie. Liam turned in his usual precise-character performance that never fails to convince me he's who he says he is. There were other notable portrayals but he held this one together. The movie got progressively bloodier, which wasn't easy considering the nature of the crime he was investigating anyway. And the ending was as satisfying as getting that really hard 'burp!" out of your system; not nice but really relieving.
I'd recommend this one for a good stint in drama and not-so-good vs evil.
