AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
juneebuggy This movie felt very long, not that it was boring just that I've seen it all before from Liam Neeson. He plays exactly the same character here as he has since he started his badass aging action hero career. We've seen this growly, revenge man in all the Taken movies, Nonstop, Unknown. And despite the ongoing carnage he sets off here in "one night" in N.Y with shootouts, car chases burning buildings, stabbings, crazed hit men (Common) it all still felt kinda meh. Here Liam is a booze addled former hit man, a shell of his former self, haunted by his life of crime and laughed at or pitied by his mob boss/old friend (Ed Harris) and his cronies. When his estranged son (Joel Kinnaman) gets marked to be killed by his bosses son, Neeson is forced to turn against his employers, put down the bottle and protect his son at all costs. Some great scenes of dialogue with Liam and Harris and I enjoyed Joel Kinnaman. I also liked the story hook which sees Neeson forced to tun against his lifelong friend and and work with his son, unfortunately the running, shooting, hunting, chasing, and killing, went on and on becoming sorta mindless. Like I said, meh, ultimately forgettable.
Nicolas F. Costoglou "Run all Night" is the most recent movie from a new director i highly admire, Jaume Collet-Serra. And this movie is his third collaboration with Liam Neeson, after the two strikes "Unknown Identity" and "Non-Stop", the latter is my favourite plane-centered-action- thriller to date. (I also want to mention that he did one of my favourite psycho- horror-thrillers "Orphan")Even though this guy's first movie was the "House of Wax"-Remake, which isn't that great, he managed to get his own style and voice, and i like his work very much.And this movie is no exception. It's a very well told, and intriguingly written Gangster-Revenge-Thriller, with Liam Neeson and Ed Harris as old Gangster-buddies, who try to kill each other, after Neeson killed Harris son, to protect his own.The title has a good reason to appear four times (!) in the movie, because the movie's really set during one night, and hell what a beautiful night it is. All the transition-shots to other locations, literally fly over the whole city and stop at the new location, and between moments where some time passes, there are just shots of the nightlife of the city, so you really feel the atmosphere. It reminded me of some of Michael Manns movies.The action is very well directed, intense and brutal. And the characters, get believably hurt, and never feel like they are unbeatable, like in other recent action movies. The best comparison would be "A good day to die Hard", where John McClane and his son have to team up to survive, but they are never in real danger, the bad guys are bland, and the action over-the-top.This movie is the fifth Die Hard i wish we'd got, plus much more drama than i expected. The movie never relies on painting the characters bad, or good and role with it, they are believable and all of them have a dark and a light side. Liam Neeson plays a guy who would be an unlikeable asshole if it wasn't for his charisma which keeps you interested in him, and his relationship to mobster- boss Ed Haris feels real and it's great when you see Neeson killing him, but when he dies in his arms, you see that they respect each other after all, and wished non of this had happened. It's great stuff, and fairly well told.Technically it's also very well made, the night scenes are a little too dark at times, but you see what's necessary, and the soundtrack by Junkie XL fits very well, and helps setting the dark tone.All in all a very enjoyable, dark and dramatic Action-Thriller which will entertain you the whole night through...
Uriah43 "Danny Maguire" (Boyd Holbrook) is the impetuous son of a mob boss who wants to show his father "Shawn Maguire" (Ed Harris) his ability to assume an increasing role in the business. So one day he makes a deal with an Albanian drug cartel by guaranteeing them his father's resources in exchange for some money. However, when his father refuses to do business with them this leaves Danny in a bind and rather than return the money decides to kill the Albanian negotiators instead. Unfortunately, Danny is spotted by a young man named "Mike Conlon" (Joel Kinnaman) and rather than having any witnesses decides to kill him as well. What Danny doesn't count on is Mike's father--and infamous mob hit man-- "Jimmy Conlon" (Liam Neeson) showing up during the process. Within seconds Danny is killed and this leaves both Jimmy and Mike at odds with Shawn who now swears revenge on both of them. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a pretty good action-packed movie which greatly benefited by the presence of Liam Neeson and Ed Harris. Although the ending was a bit clichéd I still enjoyed it and I have rated this film accordingly. Slightly above average.
edwagreen Unfortunately proves that even if you've reformed and been away from crime, something or someone shall draw you back.This is the case with Liam Neeson and Ed Harris, bot former criminals who tried to go straight. Problem was that Harris's son was no good and gets mixed up with heroin dealers. He kills them and as Neeson's son was the limousine driver who took the victims, not knowing who they were to the son of Harris, he soon becomes part of the problem.When Neeson kills Ed's son as the latter was going to shoot his son, Harris swears revenge on Neeson and his son for what has occurred. This begins a terrible night of survival by everyone with shootings, and chases abounding.An absorbing film with Neeson protecting a son who had given up on him years before for his evil doings and a police department ripe with corruption.
