Good movie for a night with my husband. A lot of action

Great action movie to watch with your friends on the weekend.

Saw this at the movies and enjoyed it so much I had to buy the DVD. Liam Neeson stars with a great cast of supporting Actors, Ed Harris, Joel Kinnaman (Robocop, The Killing) and Common (He'll on Wheels). Story line is about a Gangster(Harris) and his friend and hitman (Neeson) whose son's cross paths and one sons life ends for the other to survive. The gangster and his hitman go at it and tear up the town to get to eachother and to kill the surviving son to make things "equal" if you will.

Liam Neeson plays a former mob hitman (Jimmy) who is now just a drunken bum. Odd sort of character for Neeson! His former boss, also best friend, is the head mobster (Ed Harris as Shawn McGuire) and takes care of him, until Jimmy's estranged son kills Shawn's son in self defense. Now the two are friends no more and Jimmy has to keep his son alive until he can get him to someone who can help. Interesting to see who he chooses. Good action, moral dilemmas, courageous parenting skills!

Usually movies that take place in one night are typically quite straight forward and "action pack", but here Liam Neeson plays a great dynamic character that will do whatever it takes to save his son. This movie is also character driving so the best part of the movie is this incredible cast: Ed Harris,Bruce McGill, Vincent D’Onofrio, Lois Smith, Common, and Nick Nolte...If you Love Liam Neeson like I do then this is the perfect movie for you! I highly recommend this movie!
