Liam Neeson has long been a favorite of mine. All the way back to his performance in SUSPECT – and well before – he has proven to be one of the most powerful actors working in the business. The past few years of course he has become a modern day action hero with TAKEN and he kicked serious wolf ass in THE GREY. He has even charmed the young ones with his terrific work in THE LEGO MOVIE. In A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES, Neeson is at his best. In this thrillingly suspenseful film he creates a complex and fascinating character.
As great as he is to watch on-screen, it is all the more impressive to sit across from him. He certainly could be intimidating if he wanted to, yet he is thoughtful and kind and just a pleasure to be around. We talked about taking on the habits which the character ‘Matt Scudder’ has adapted; as well he discussed the complex nature of this powerhouse of a film. This is an intense piece of work with a fantastic turn from Mr. Neeson. I highly recommend A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES opening this Friday at a theatre near you.
