Storyline
Professional Brooklyn hitman Jimmy Conlon is more commonly known as THE
GRAVEDIGGER. Jimmy was a mob hit-man, who was best friends with his boss
Sean Maguire. But when Jimmy's son, Michael, is marked for death by the
mob, Jimmy must go up against Sean to protect Michael at all costs.
Together, he and Michael must avoid corrupt cops, contract killers and
the mob to survive the night.
Liam
Neeson plays retired hit-man, James Conlon, and it's one of the finest
roles he's played in years with a great performance, and with additional
superb acting from Joel Kinnaman, whom plays his son, Mike Conlon. The
first 'Taken' may have turned out great, until it launched a franchise,
but 'Run All Night' is a definite improvement over Neeson's latest work,
and a major improvement over clichéd action movies released in the past
decade. What makes it so good, is that Neeson brings company with him:
his co-star Kinnaman who plays his son
- and it's a different movie experience altogether as in most clichéd
