A Walk among the tombstones

Length: About 2hrs long and it felt like it

Actors: Liam Neeson and a bunch of other guys

Plot: Physco Paths extorting drug traffickers out of their money by kidnapping their loved ones, and they can’t call the cops because they’re drug lords…Duh! So who do they call? Mr. Badass former cop Liam Neeson that’s who!

The Dude’s Review: The first minute and half was intense, crazy, wild and action packed! The next 1hr & 45mins was slowww and had weird semi-supposed-to-be-spooky music playing from time to time as Liam was gathering clues to who the Phyco Paths were. Liam knows his role and plays it well but the director and writer should have done a better job using Liam’s Kickass ability at which they did in the first 90seconds of the movie and that was it, and they made the bad guys totally weird and sadistic and if your into that sorta thing you’ll probably be disappointed too because they don’t show any gruesome scenes just cliffhangers or maybe small hill-hangers instead. I can’t abide and say the movie was bad because it was interesting but to slow for the dude, especially when I was hoping for a darker and grittery take on the movie ‘taken’.  All-in-all if you check it out you’ll probably say: “I’m glad I saw that but I probably won’t watch it again”

Verdict: Rent or wait till Netflix streams it

Rolling Stone Score: “Liam goes through this movie in kind of an old-school way, taking care of all the creeps that are in New York. But it doesn’t have that zip.”
