Review of A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014) by Lane Z — 30 Sep 2014
Liam Neeson has launched himself quite a second-coming in the action genre over the last few years. On the surface, everyone should expect nothing different from prior roles with the grittiness and somber tones and heavy gun play we are accustomed to seeing from him.
However, it's a nice change to have more of a detective role that involves the mind more than the fists in 'A Walk'. I wouldn't necessarily call it one of his best films to recent memory, but there's enough here for the Liam Neeson fan to enjoy his typical swagger.
The problem lies in the pace. It's a little slow and a little too long getting to some of the main highlights of the plot line. For the star quality Neeson brings these days, the supporting cast wasn't up to snuff, but it could have been worse.
The boy who plays TJ being the standout amongst the others who fall into a typical second-tier actor role. At first I thought the film would be darker and more sinister, but it doesn't quite delve into that style and stays at a nice even keel to keep most types of viewers interested.
