Review of Run All Night (2015) by Junelkean — 05 Jul 2017
Liam Neeson reunites with director Jaume Collet-Serra in their third collaboration in kicking asses. This time, he has to protect his estranged son (Kinnaman) who has been the next target of a mob boss and his longtime best friend played by Ed Harris. Would Neeson and Collet-Serra's third installment make a decent successor to Unknown and Non-Stop for a trilogy of action-thriller?
Well, if you had pleasure with the two mentioned movies, then you'll probably have an enjoyable time watching Liam Neeson kicking asses in one night. It's greatly acted with well-developed characters and tightly written with exciting moments that help the pace moving properly. Furthermore, it consistently keeps the depth and substance all throughout the movie by particular scenes revolving around family, regret and redemption.
As for flaws, the plot can get convoluted and too jumbled at times for its own terms. Also, Common's character feels a little bit out-of-place for the totality of the film.
VERDICT: Neeson and Harris face off in a lusterless movie that centers around family, regret and redemption.
