An average movie

Posted : 5 years, 3 months ago on 14 January 2019 09:52

To be honest, I wasnโ€™t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Liam Neeson, I thought I might as well check it out, especially since it was available on Netflix. Well, eventually, I was surprised by how underwhelming the damned thing actually turned out to be. Sure, as expected, Liam Neeson delivered his usual tough guy act but, in fact, the other characters managed to be even less compelling. However, the main issue I had was mostly with the story though. Seriously, the damned thing was just rather boring and what was the deal with this title? Sure, it was a pretty cool title but what did it actually have to do with the plot? To make things worse, I thought the whole thing was rather lazy. For example, you never get a clear explanation about why these 2 guys were targeting drug dealers or, to be more specific, women linked to drug dealers. Furthermore, how come nobody seemed to be aware of these murders? Indeed, when Matt Scudder got involved, they had already killed a couple of women in a gruesome way which should have been all over the news but neither Scudder or anyone else seemed to notice that something had been going on for a while already. Anyway, to conclude, even though the directing was not bad, I thought it was still rather weak and I donโ€™t think it is really worth a look.ย

A Walk Among the Tombstones review

Posted : 9 years, 7 months ago on 3 October 2014 02:08

Liam Neeson is a great actor and even in his older age he is quite amazing as an action hero. I only recently heard of this, but decided very quickly that this was something I should check out. It doesn't have many well known actors other than Liam Neeson though, but I don't think that will bother anyone. There are some pretty gritty and intense scenes that were awesome. At times this is a bit disturbing given the content it deals with. I think other than the main character TJ was the only other likeable character. I find it funny how teenagers always look up to badasses who work alone and try to be their partners. There were some moments that I really didn't see coming which was good to see. The ending itself was shocking and thrilling. I guess it's good I watched this in October because it does sort of have elements of horror to it. It was definitely a great way to start October. It's a must see for any Neeson fan in my opinion.
