In this 2008 film, Liam Neeson plays a computer executive who finds out his wife (Laura Linney) has been having an affair with a handsome Italian man (Antonio Banderas) after she goes missing on a business trip. An inspired cast led by a prestigious director (The National Theatre's Richard Eyre) can't save this under-cooked, mystery from slipping i...
This twisting thriller sees Neeson as a private detective, who helps couples get divorces by photographing his wife having fake affairs with the husbands. It's a bizarre concept given a fairly rote treatment, but Neeson provides a solid anchor to the genre proceedings. However, the movie was a complete failure, making only $221,295 on a $6 million ...
Shirley Jackson's haunting source material was recently given a splendid Netflix treatment, but back in 1999, Twisterdirector Jan de Bont used it as a jumping-off point for a visual effects showcase that squandered its scares and its stars. Neeson stars with Owen Wilson and Catherine Zeta-Jones, but they can't compete with the overblown spectacle o...
Neeson plays a miner-turned-illegal-boxer in this self-serious, overwrought drama. He acquits himself well, particularly physically, but the film never manages to pack much of a punch. Based on the novel released in 1986, the movie remains mostly forgotten after getting a small U.K. release and mostly disappearing.
Director Mark Williams had big plans for his political thriller Blacklight. The movie wanted to show the underbelly of political corruption and actually made the head of the FBI the main villain of the movie. In this film, Liam Neeson was an off-the-records fixer for the FBI, often sent in to help undercover agents get out of sticky situations. How...
Neeson is hardly in this Peter Berg movie. Perhaps his straight-faced, action movie swagger could've lent some much-needed charm to the movie, which was named after the classic board game. While Berg wanted to make a love letter to naval warfare, something dear to his heart, the addition of aliens seemed to help doom the movie. It did break $300 mi...
Maybe one of the most curious entries in Neeson's filmography is this dark comedy co-starring Sandra Bullock and Oliver Platt, which sees an undercover DEA agent joining therapy to cope with the stresses of his job. Unfortunately, the film's attempts at humor are largely crass, relying on fart humor and controversial jokes more than what can usuall...
In this thriller, Christina Ricci plays a young woman who awakens after a car accident to find a mysterious mortician (played by Neeson) preparing her for burial. It's a novel setup, with lots of creepy potential, but unfortunately it's not too long before it becomes an underwhelming Saw imitation, trapping two interesting actors in typical horror ...
Paul Haggis, director of Crash, revisits his love of interconnected narratives with this glorified travelogue that synchronizes three tales of love, one at the beginning of a relationship, another at the middle, and the third at the end. There are some solid performances here, but the labyrinthine artifice of the enterprise winds up weighing it dow...
This 2010 rehash of the groundbreaking and charming Desmond Davis and Ray Harryhausen original was Neeson's first post-Taken action film. Attempting to cash in on the public's obsession with fantasy visuals made popular by Avatar, Clash of the Titans only succeeds as a giant spectacle, a 3D CGI movie that not even Neeson's small turn as Zeus can el...
