Review of The Marksman (2021) by Vickimage — 31 Jan 2021
The Marksman isn’t going to please fans that want wall-to-wall action. This is a slightly different Liam Neeson movie - one with a bit more heart. In some ways it reminds me of Clint Eastwood’s The Mule.
It comes as no surprise that the director has often worked with Eastwood because you can imagine him in this role. That said, Neeson is great. Critics sometimes say he’s phoning it in with this post-Taken phase of his career but I don’t agree.
All of the films have been interesting in their own way. Here Neeson gets to display more heart and empathy than usual - which is why I’m sure he signed on. The first-time actor who plays the young boy Neeson’s character helps is also great.
They share a very good on-screen rapport. Like The Mule this is ultimately a road movie and I thought it was a very enjoyable one. Highly recommended.
