Run All Night (2015) 6/10

Starring : Liam Neeson, Ed Harris, Joel Kinnaman, Boyd Holbrook, Bruce McGill, Genesis Rodriguez, Vincent D’Onofrio
Director : Jaume Collet-Serra
Running Time : 115 mins

When Michael Conlon (Kinnaman) witnesses a shooting, he calls on his dad Jimmy (Neeson) to help him get away from the killer, a man named Danny (Holbrook) who is also the son of Jimmy’s boss, Sean Maguire (Harris). But when Jimmy is forced to shoot Michael, Sean comes after him and his son, seeking retribution.

It seems that Liam Neeson has fallen into something of a niche market – playing men who have to protect their kids in over the top and drastic fashion. Here he’s a former mob hit man forced to turn on his former boss because said boss has a nut job for a son. The action is pretty slow for this type of movie, and fans of action flicks would probably be better off looking elsewhere, but it did have its moments.
