Liam Neeson. Ed Harris. Revenge. Stern man talking.
Seriously, I don’t need anything else to get me to see a movie, but this new
trailer for Run All Night is right up my alley. There are
tough dudes saying tough things, Vincent D’Onofrio as a harried cop, a nameless
thug getting choked out on a skeevy bathroom floor, and one long night that
never seems to end and changes everything. Sign me up.
Granted, the Taken movies look like they
should be totally rad, too, but they’re not (I’m not even a fan of the first
one), and this is helmed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who directed Neeson in
Non-Stop and Unknown, which doesn’t
exactly inspire confidence. But I’m willing to look past that because this
trailer looks so badass. Run All Night is also rated R,
which hopefully means we’re in for the brutal, graphic violence this sort of
movie requires to be a success.
The plot is a relatively simple, bare bones affair, and
that’s just fine. Liam Neeson kills Ed Harris’ son because Ed Harris’ son is
trying to kill Liam Neeson’s son (Joel Kinnaman). Both fathers are obviously
old acquaintances, and involved in some kind of sprawling criminal enterprise.
Whatever their relationship, there are obviously a lot of people about to be
killed in this one.
Run All Night opens everywhere April 17.
