Well, the cast is pure class and Liam is once again, a man with some badass skills. Set in 1970s Ireland it looks like a potentially really good Neeson ride.

What a coincidence you starting this thread now, when the blu of this just popped up on sale at my favorite online site. Blind buy, should be arriving today.
Really like Liam Neeson when he does action like Taken, Nonstop, Commuter, Memory, Run all night, Tombstones, and hopefully this.

 

[Mikael Soderholm]

Well, that was much more than the usual Neeson action, this was really good. A real movie. Recommended.

You must have got this in theaters before us. Here it has not had a release yet, unless I missed it. I think that's why the timing of you getting a Blu-ray before we've seen it at all.

I don't remember this being in theaters at all, and the blu was heavily discounted, so I figured it had been out a while. The site I bought from doesn't give a release date, but it was filmed in 2023.
And like I said, one of his best, highly recommended.

Watched this last night on Prime in Australia (no cinema release here). An excellent film that we both really enjoyed. IMHO the best Liam Neeson film for many years; very well acted, written, directed and filmed.

It's been in limited international release since October 2023, so other territories may have had a home video release by this past Christmas. Just released here in North America this past weekend and made about $1 million in around 900 theaters.

Just opened in L.A. last Friday; saw it yesterday. Not your standard Neeson action film, but an introspective drama on the theme of killing and when, or if, it is ever justified. Very impressive. with beautiful locations that recall "Banshees of Inisherin" (which earned Condon an Oscar nom).

Liked it! But it's grim. In a way slightly reminded me of Unforgiven. My rating: A-

Just saw this yesterday and also liked it a good deal.

Agreed that it's one of Neeson's best films (at least of this type), especially in a long time...
