Jan 28, 2009 · Liam Neeson brings the character a hard-edged, mercilessly focused anger, and director Pierre Morel hurtles through action sequences at a breathless velocity.

Liam Neeson portrayed a gruesome supe in Sam Raimi's Darkman, the story of a scientist left deformed, and on death's door, who rebounds to seek revenge using fake faces that allow him to become anyone he wants.
