It’s that time of the year again. February is the usual landing ground for new Liam Neeson PG-13 action thrillers. This year the 69-year-old Irishman is giving us “Blacklight”, a shoot-em-up that looks to check every box Neeson fans will be expecting. This is the third film he has made with director Mark Williams, and it doesn’t look like the duo are straying too far away from their previous collaborations. To be honest, I’m kinda ok with that.
This time around Neeson plays a fixer working for the FBI. He’s ready to step away from his “work”, determined to be a better grandfather than he was a father. But wouldn’t you know it, the powers that be have no interest in him hanging up his Beretta. It’s made even worse when he discovers that the people he’s been working for are actually responsible for some pretty horrific crimes. Of course our hero pushes back, his family is put in danger, and Neeson is forced to unleash his “particular set of skills”. I’m game.
“Blacklight” is set to open in theaters February 11th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
Keith & the Movies 
I admire your stamina, Keith 😉
Hahahahaha! It’s fun work though.😂
The only downside about this film is that it’s PG-13. That’s not bloody enough for me but…. how can I say no to Liam Neeson just killing people?
He definitely enjoys these PG-13 action thrillers. His movies are almost a genre all their own, aren’t they?
Poor sod, 69 and they’re still making him do action man stuff. Surely he must have made enough money by now to retire and put his feet up?
Probably. I could only assume that he does them because he still finds them fun. I’m kinda glad he does. While they’re never great, I always have a good time with them. They are what they are.
Yes I’ll be seeing it no doubt, and he’s amazing to be doing it still at that age.
For sure. It’s funny because you can tell the editing of these later movies are trying to compensate for some of his “limitations”. Still, these flicks are a hoot. Even the not-so-good ones.
