Run All Night is a 2015 American action thriller film written by Brad Ingelsby and directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. The film stars Liam Neeson, Joel Kinnaman, Common, and Ed Harris. The film was released on March 13, 2015.
The Buzz:
Liam Neeson acts tough and beats up bad guys - haven't we seen this before? Many, many times. So why am I excited about
Run All Night?
First, the movies reunites Neeson with the director of
Non-Stop and
Unknown,
both of which are solidly entertaining entries in his recent action
movie portfolio. Second, this one is rated R, which will allow Neeson to
really let loose on the movie's gangster baddies; two of his best
movies in recent memory are
The Grey and
A Walk Among the Tombstones, both of which were also rated R.
The
movie also has a really strong supporting cast. It's going to be
exciting to see Neeson face off against Ed Harris, who is probably his
most interesting nemesis in quite some time. I also think Joel Kinnaman
has the goods - he's top notch in "The Killing" - but
RoboCop didn't really let him flex his acting muscles that much. Here's hoping that
Run All Night is the right showcase for his talents.
