Movie# 19 Run All Night 2015
An aging hit man Jimmy (Liam Neeson) is miserable and bitter, haunted by those he killed.Mob boss Shawn (Ed Harris) has remained his friend through the dark days but this changes when through unfortunate circumstance sees Jimmy killing Shawns son in self defense.
I love horror and cult films but damn if I dont love a great action film and while "Run All Night" isn't a masterpiece it is entertaining as hell. I think what was most surprising was the depth and actual time spent on developing characters and making them seem real and even sympathetic at times. All the actors are at the very top form but really when is Neeson not? Ed Harris is also great and both men really that their pulp style roles very serious. Speaking of which the film plays out like a modern film noir, its gritty violent yet at the center of it lies a heart. Not as good as say "Taken" or the newer "John Wick" but over all a damn good fast paced action film.
