Sinopsis(1)
El mercenario Jimmy Conlon, que anteriormente era conocido como El Cavatumbas, no pasa por una de sus mejores épocas. Se siente perseguido por los pecados que ha cometido en su pasado, así como por el detective de la policía que ha ido detrás de él durante 30 años. Ahora parece que no encuentra consuelo en otro lugar que no sea el alcohol, pero cuando su hijo Mike, que vive lejos de su padre, se convierte en el principal objetivo de un plan de la organización para la que él trabaja; Jimmy tiene que elegir entre la familia de asesinos a la que había escogido, o a su verdadera familia, a la que abandonó hace mucho tiempo. Sólo tiene una noche para averiguar a cuál de las dos familias le debe lealtad si quiere proteger a su hijo del destino que con sus acciones, indirectamente ha puesto a sus seres queridos en peligro.

Lo atrevido de esta película es poner a Ed Harris contra Neeson. Y para garantizar aún más el entretenimiento masculino, poner a Vincent D'Onofrio y Nick Nolte como sus segundos. Pero eso no puede cambiar el hecho de que: 1) casi todos los personajes están son unos chiflados, que merecen directamente la muerte 2) nuevamente se basa en cartas de género distribuidas de forma transparente 3) apuesta más por una efectividad formal superficial que por contar un drama policíaco honesto, como lo hace, por ejemplo, La noche es nuestra. Esa es para mí una peli de género que merece 4 estrellas. Y tampoco le faltan tiroteos ni una cautivadora persecución de coches.

Neeson's already in his standard box, and Serra has definitely parked himself in the position of a decent thriller craftsman. The result is improved a lot by the remaining ensemble cast, and in turn, dragged down by the fact that most of the dialogue speeches in the second half are merely empty and stretch the film to an unsympathetic length.

Liam Neeson and Jaume Collet-Serra are a safe bet for me for the third time already. I was so sure the film was good, I couldn’t miss it in the cinema. Even though the ticket was pricy. Someone could feel weird about the fact that this rather gloomy dark crime movie has a bit too many special effects. I would survive without them too. On the other hand, it was those effects that made it so gloomy and dark. Liam Neeson does not start in the best position, but the director gradually pulled me into the quite straightforward story, which closes the circle of one mafia gang in the cruelest way. However, Liam Neeson, Ed Harris and Joel Kinnaman gave it such an amazing charisma that I devoured the movie. And I don’t mind at all that Liam keeps portraying the same character for years. I started to call his movies ‘Neesons’ for this very reason. I hope this is not his last movie.

This quality dramatic family background story is spiced up with decent action and the Collet-Serra-Neeson trilogy has a very impressive finale. Bad luck and coincidence play the leading role, together with a boozy Santa suffering from remorse. The fantastic Ed Harris’s pep talks with Liam Neeson commands respect and his view on things makes sense. By coincidence, the evil Gravedigger is also the main protagonist who leaves piles of dead bodies lying in pools of blood, this time for justifiable (but selfish) reasons. Kinnaman Jr. is really fine, thinks for himself and doesn’t become too annoying during the story (which is important). A perfect action movie that I would gladly watch again.

It might gradually becomes its own subgenre, one with very few memorable pieces, Run All Night among them. It doesn't have a chance against Taken. It lacks action, pace, drive and the editing in fight sequences leaves much to be desired. Even the slower, but much more deliberate and atmospheric Walking Among Tombstones was better than this quickie, from which you may feel the New York feeling of small streets and mob pubs, but the reminiscences of the 1990s are quite flawed. The strong cast do their job, but it’s not above average. When the best dialogue passages in an action movie are from the two main stars, and it's not necessarily Heat, it's quite possible something is off, as is the case here.
