‘Honest Thief’ Movie Review
You know what we could all use right now during these crazy times? A Liam Neeson action/thriller! Unfortunately, “Honest Thief” is low in both the action and thrills departments — and is a middle of the road entry in his specialty genre. Neeson plays Tom Carter. He admits early on that he’s robbed a dozen […]
‘Made in Italy’ Review
Liam Neeson and real-life son Micheal Richardson play father and son Robert and Jack. Jack wants to sell his parents’ former home in Italy and use his proceeds to buy the London art gallery he’s currently running with his soon-to-be-ex-wife. So Jack and Dad (a famous artist) head to Tuscany to spruce-up the villa, which […]
Dennis Quaid is STILL Here!
In January 2017, I wrote a piece on actor Dennis Quaid, whose latest film “A Dog’s Purpose” was set to open. Here we are, a little more than two years later, and that K-9 adventure is getting a sequel… with Quaid back. He and Josh Gad reprise their roles in “A Dog’s Journey”, out May […]
‘Widows’ Review
Director Steve McQueen could’ve chosen any project for his follow-up to 2013’s Oscar-winning Best Picture “12 Years a Slave”. An all-star, action, crime, revenge, heist, political drama wouldn’t have been my first guess. McQueen is the director and co-writer (with “Gone Girl”’s Gillian Flynn) of “Widows”. The story, based on an 80s British TV series, […]
‘The Commuter’ Review
At 65, Liam Neeson is still kicking ass. “The Commuter” is Neeson’s latest action/thriller and his fourth collaboration with director Jaume Collet-Serra. Their previous films involved Neeson dealing with an identity crisis (“Unknown”), an airplane takeover (“Non-Stop”), and a mob boss friend turned enemy (“Run All Night”). This time, Neeson’s ex-cop turned life insurance salesman […]
‘Run All Night’ Review
“Run All Night” is the fourth action/thriller starring Liam Neeson to be released in the last 13 months. Jaume-Collet Serra directed Neeson 2011’s underrated gem “Unknown” and last year’s “Non-Stop”. Both of those films provided intrigue, suspense and engaging storylines worthy of your full attention from the first frame to the last. “Run All Night” […]
‘Taken 3’ Review
Only a few months after the original “Taken” was released in January 2009, star Liam Neeson’s wife, Natasha Richardson, died following a tragic skiing accident. Since then Neeson has starred in more than 20 movies, the majority of which are intense, heart-pounding action movies. He’s said that these films, such as “Clash of the Titans”, […]
‘Non-Stop’ Review
Liam Neeson has become one of the top action stars of the 21st Century. With the “Taken” and “Titans” franchises, along with about a dozen other action/mystery/thriller hits (including the voice of the Good Cop/Bad Cop in “The LEGO Movie”), Neeson is someone we always root for as he attempts to save the day and […]
