Scott Frank is the writer and Director of this latest thriller, which sees Liam Neeson as an alcoholic Police Officer, who battles his demons, after a shoot out on thee streets gets an innocent bystander killed. Jump forward several years, and he is now on the wagon, attending meetings, and doing private Detective work. He is approached by Drug Trafficker Kenny Kristo, whose wife has been abducted, and is being help for ransom.
I could go on with the plot, but that is the gist of it. The characters are all either dispicable or have little to redeem them/ The plot is dull, cliched, and been visited upon many times before, and far more successfully.
For the most part I am enjoying the reinvention of Mr. Neeson, but sadly this is one film that just numbs the brain.
From Downton Abbey to this......such a shame Mr. Stevens.............3 out of 10
