Cast: Liam Neeson, Dan Stevens(Kenny), Sebastian Roché(Yuri), David Harbour(Ray), Adam David Thompson(Albert) and Brian Bradley(TJ)
Director: Scott Frank
Genre: Crime, Thriller
Quite a watch, a dark one though! Lian Neeson keeps up with his genre of movies and delivers another good one
You may look forward to:
- The USP of the movie lies in its thriller aspect, it manages to get your attention. To an extent gory but not over the top completely red. This movie even after being executed slow, grips up until the very end
- Scott Frank deserves the appreciation for making this an interesting watch
- Liam Neeson at his regular best, he best suits genres like this
- David Harbour and Adam David Thompson, were quite a dark pair villains together, the one without loyalty even to each other. They if real, has the potential to get into your nerves, man and woman alike
- Brian Bradley has productive and supportive role :) He began with an unnecessary presence but makes it up by the end
- Dan Stevens and Sebastian Roché were in good parallel roles, the victims who were as well active and not merely riding on detective to do all the job :)
What you can sleep over:
- Unnecessary angle of 'Kenny's' brother, has nothing much to do with the whole of the story
- Also one of the leads jumping off the building for no apparent threat
The dampeners you should be aware of:
Irritating presence of Brian Bradley in the first half, also partly in the second half. Feels like forced upon drama of his sickness, blah blah! They could have written something a bit more interesting for him
My Rating: 3.5/5
