RUN ALL NIGHT

Plot:

Jimmy Conlon (Neeson) is a retired, now alcoholic former hitman for crime boss Shawn Maquire (Harris) who is also his best friend and the only person who puts up with his drunkard foolishness. Haunted by the crimes of his past and stalked by a relentless Detective Harding (D'Onofrio) who wants him to confess to all his past murders that he was never convicted for over the years, Jimmy just wants to live his days alone and with a bottle of liquor. But when his estranged son Mike (Kinnaman) is almost murdered by the son of his friend and mob boss Shawn, he is forced out of retirement and kills the young man to try and prevent his son from becoming like him. Now he must also go up against his longtime friend who is intent on killing his son as revenge for him taking the life of his only son, with Shawn unleashing all his goons including the ruthless and lethal hitman Andrew Price (Common). The father and son team now has only one night to try to sort things out if they hope to get through this ordeal alive.


Reel Talk:

Liam Neeson has officially taken the title of the current one man army action figure, so Sylvester, Arnold and Jason move over. If people have not learned anything from the TAKEN trilogy they should know not to mess with this man's family...LOL. This movie is an action packed thrill ride from beginning to end keeping you glued to the screen and is actually a little better than the "TAKEN" movies. For a good action fuel movie this is definitely one to catch.
