The immortal Liam Neeson not only did not lose the stars in his acting career, but kept appearing more and more works, and the frequent updates one after another made people admire his strong vitality as a movie star. But what makes people feel regretful is that he seems to be stuck in thriller action movies, and his continuous works highlight his influence in the field of action movies. There are more and more similar works, which makes people feel that Some visual fatigue. We don’t mean that even M. Neeson’s acting is not good, nor that the quality of the movie is not good. It’s just that the same repeated repetitions of similar plots make the viewers a little annoyed, and even Uncle M’s action scenes are almost always In the same way, it didn’t turn out any new tricks, and it didn’t give people much freshness. Even if the tension of the movie is shown through the plot, the acting is still back to the theme of the action movie, I have to say Liam . Nissens has been given a model by the film company. However, in general, the plot design of this film is also full of tension, and the plot is also very worthy of people’s taste. It is just that while all the plots in the first half of the plot are quite standard, the second half of the plot is reversed. People are a little overwhelmed and unbelievable. Let the tension and oppression created by the first half disappear without a trace in the climax of the second half. I have to say that the strength of the villain created by the movie is really disappointing. However, we can see from the second half of the movie that the climactic design of the movie can only prove the helplessness and regret of the movie as a low-cost movie. It could have been a vigorous action scene because of insufficient funds. It is a pity that the film cannot be a good commercial action film. The movie shows us the embarrassing and miserable life of a professional killer, not only from inside the gang, but also from outside police chasing, the most important thing is the incomprehension from the family, which makes people feel the pitiful life of a killer. In the first half of the movie, the protagonist’s situation is fully and delicately highlighted, and it shows us more vividly that in this environment, the protagonist will still face his own life with a tolerant attitude, which inevitably makes We began to sympathize with the character's situation, and slowly integrated into the plot of the movie. In fact, the plot design of the whole movie is very simple, but it took a long time to pave the way for the relationship between various characters. Once the plot unfolds, it will be like a flood that opened the gate in an instant. The plot is simple and straightforward. Without spending a little bit of saliva to narrate, it directly shows us the upcoming revenge plot, so that people can easily start to accept the action plot of chasing and being chased. The reason why the director uses the commercial elements well is that he knows how to lay out. After all the content is clearly expressed, he directly gives the audience what he wants, and we can’t figure out what’s wrong. Enjoy the exciting action and racing scenes, which is very enjoyable. Moreover, the director not only created the main storyline, but also did not forget to add family feelings in it. Not only did he show the flesh and blood of the characters, but also portray the warm feelings in the family, which is very useful. As the director Zomi Silla who has worked with Liam Nissen many times, he knows exactly what kind of role Uncle Liam fits and how to play the role of Uncle Liam in the movie, and he is very expressive. To interpret the greatness of the role in the film, it will also be a further step. Nissen has been more deeply portrayed as an anti-hero character. It is not that we dislike heroes, but the reality is that the real society cannot produce a positive hero without pollution. The anti-hero image that Uncle Liam has always portrayed is deep. Human heart, so that every time he appears in a movie, it will make people feel that he will have a sad past. Liam Neeson’s performance in the movie is impeccable, because he has already adapted to such a role. Not only is he well aware of all the pressure behind the role, but he also deeply integrates his own experience and thoughts. He is over six years old. Uncle Liam has already experienced the vicissitudes of life in the world for a long time. His success has been slowly accumulated step by step. Therefore, each of his roles is so calm and full of connotation that people have to immerse themselves in the vicissitudes of life. It is difficult to extricate itself from dependence and belief. As for the villain of this film, Ed Harris, being a gangster can really bring us a strong aura, and there is no pressure on the scene with Liam Neeson, even Uncle Liam is in him. There is a sense of lack of confidence in front of us, so that the movie makes us unanimously imagine that Uncle Liam will suffer in the movie, but the movie is not strong, so Ed Harris's ending is so embarrassing, not only did he not play him. As a villain, he has not fully used his value as an old drama bone, which is really a pity.

    A little mediocre male second completely no bright spot

    The role of Uncle Liam has been positioned, and this time he has picked a gangster. Just like last year's Denzel Washington's "The Avenger" and Keanu Reeves' "Chase", don't offend anyone if you offend them.

Run All Night quotes

  • Jimmy Conlon: The things I did, the things I've seen, it becomes who you are. You can't just go home and scrub it off. The only way I could protect you was to walk away. Forget about you and your mom. I wanted a better life for you than the one I chose for myself.
