Liam
Neeson plays retired hit-man, James Conlon, and it's one of the finest
roles he's played in years with a great performance, and with additional
superb acting from Joel Kinnaman, whom plays his son, Mike Conlon. The
first 'Taken' may have turned out great, until it launched a franchise,
but 'Run All Night' is a definite improvement over Neeson's latest work,
and a major improvement over clichéd action movies released in the past
decade. What makes it so good, is that Neeson brings company with him:
his co-star Kinnaman who plays his son
and it's a different movie experience altogether as in most clichéd
action
thrillers the main protagonist, usually played by a familiar action
star, is usually without company the whole way through. The character
James Conlon is so similar to Jimmy Bobo, a part Sylvester Stallone
played in a movie called 'Bullet to the Head'. Jimmy Bobo was an ageing
hit-man who still made hits on assignments, but compared to Conlon, he's
more emotionless and merciless. Neeson's Conlon still had good in his
heart somewhere, whereas Bobo cared more about killing and seeking
vengeance. However, the action sequences are enjoyable and thrilling,
acting is great and the direction and screen writing becomes intriguing
whenever the main plot kicks in - so Run All Night has what it takes of
being one of the most exciting movies of the year!
