Liam Neeson continues his run of action flix. This time, he’s a washed-up alcoholic hitman for his mob-boss best friend (Ed Harris). Their sons have an inadvertent encounter that leaves one of them dead, which means Neeson has to bring out his gun to protect his son (Joel Kinnaman). If this sounds familiar, it is. Although it’s moderately interesting to watch how they evade and defeat the bad guys, there’s almost nothing original here. To make matters even more mediocre, the chases and fights are downright dull. The three lead actors bring a certain gravitas to the proceedings. Still, this is one of many quickly forgettable revenge/action films.
