Review of Run All Night (2015) by Brandon S — 11 Feb 2016

It's what you expect from the pairing of Liam Neeson and Collet-Serra (Unknown, Non-Stop), and that's not exactly a bad thing.

Yeah, the action is a little jarring at times, but Neeson gives the best performance of his newly found career in action movies, and that's enough for me.

My only major issue with this movie is the tone, being as I'm not entirely sure what they were going for. There are times when it feels very slick and state-of-the-art with Common's gadgetry and the camera moves that travel around the city. But everything else in the movie tells me that it's a gritty crime thriller. From the setting to the characters to the violence. It all screams mafia movie.

Those small issues aside, it's a fun movie with good performances and cool action.
