MCU Star Recalls Stabbing Liam Neeson While Filming His Underrated Swashbuckling Epic
Movie sets can be a dangerous place, as Liam Neeson discovered while filming ‘Rob Roy.’
“Longtime hit man Jimmy Conlon (Liam Neeson), best friend of mob boss Shawn Maguire (Ed Harris), has seen better days. He’s haunted both by the sins of his past and a police detective who’s been breathing down his neck for 30 years, and the only comfort Jimmy has is whiskey. However, when his estranged son (Joel Kinnaman) becomes a mob target, Jimmy figures that the only way to atone for his past mistakes is to make sure that his son doesn’t wind up at the wrong end of a gun.”
Liam Neeson Has Plenty More Action Movies in the Pipeline
Run All Nightunfortunately holds a “rotten” score on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes thanks to a rating of 59% from critics, with audiences feeling similarly and branding the action outing with a score of 56% on the Popcornmeter. While it fails to reach the heights of the first Taken, and despite mixed reviews,Run All Nightis stillone of the best movies in Neeson’s action era, and is well worth checking out for anyone looking for another intense thriller led by Neeson’s gruff antihero.
Despite threatening retirementfrom the action movie genre, Liam Neeson has several explosive projects currently in the pipeline, includingCold Storage, the upcoming sequelThe Ice Road 2: Road to the Sky, andThe Mongoose, which will follow Neeson as Ryan “Fang” Flanagan, a war hero who, after being accused of a crime he didn’t commit and with nothing to lose, leads police on an epic televised cross-country car chase, helped by members of his former Special Forces Army battalion and closely monitored by a fascinated public root.
