Movie Reviews:

Run all Night stars Liam Neeson, Joel Kinnaman, Ed
Harris and is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra who brought us Unknown and
Non-Stop. It's an exciting and funny movie to watch when you have nothing else
to do and you're bored. It is quiet entertaining for what it is. People should
know that by now: don't mess with Liam Neeson's family! When I first saw the
trailer I was expecting yet another "not-so- good" film starring Liam
Neeson such as Walk among the Tombstones; but this film is definitely a good
action movie with some drama thriller touches here and there. At first, Liam
Neeson is just a beaten drunk broken man and throughout the film you really
start to care about this man who is hunted by some of the things he's done in
his past; as well as his son and Ed Harris characters. You really feel like
they have a past, it feels like things have happened to them before; which
shows a very well built story. Those are the best characters: when you're able
to envision character's background before the movie start, they exist beyond
the movie. In fact, this movie takes place in a city in one night, which is a
good thing for the action plot because everyone is constantly moving. However,
on the other hand it makes things a little hard to keep up with this bunch of information’s:
cops, drug dealers, mob bosses, Liam Neeson and his son, his son's family and
their relationship with him, his relationship with Ed Harris and last but not
least an assassin is thrown in the middle of everything. These cool hit-man
stars Common and it would be great to know more about his story rather than
being thrown out there with his futuristic Google glasses (which were super
cool by the way). Finally, there's one cameo scene that I won't spoil; it seems
a little bit forced and completely irrelevant to the main plot of the movie. It
doesn't fit in at all, it's like a completely different movie. Overall Run All Night is not as good as the first taken
movie but it adds a little more heart, substance and more depth though. It's
very fun and suspenseful thriller, it has good characters and good action
sequences.
