Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
jtindahouse I had a hard time bringing myself to watch 'Run All Night'. I think a large part of the reason for that is that all Liam Neeson thrillers these days feel interchangeable. He plays basically the same character in them all and they all follow a pretty similar and formulaic story line. While I did enjoy 'Run All Night' for the most part, this did certainly hold true again. There isn't anything particularly unique about this film. It's just another solid, yet flawed, action/thriller starring Neeson.The action is the strongest part of this film. There are some good sequences throughout the movie, the stand-out being the early car chase with the cop car, where the usual roles are reversed. There is also an 'R' rating which helps improve the film in certain scenes. The violence is reasonably heavy throughout and this brings a good level of intensity to the film.The flaws though are plentiful. The role of 'Andrew Price' played by Common made no sense at all. He was brought in as a "professional killer" who is supposed to be the best at what he does. However, in every scene he's in he's absolutely terrible at what he does. You have to see the film to fully appreciate what I'm talking about, but it's unbelievably poor directing. Another problem lies in the fact that there are zero likable characters. Everyone in this film is highly flawed in almost every way and that makes it very hard to root for anyone. You're supposed to root for Neeson, simply because he's Liam Neeson, but anyone who stops and thinks about that for a moment will realise it doesn't make any sense to do so.I still managed to enjoy 'Run All Night' for the most part, but I fear it will be pretty forgettable. I would really like to see Neeson push himself if he's going to continue putting out these action/thrillers every year. Change his character and the formula of the story up a bit to keep it fresh. Until he does that, I'm going to have a hard time getting excited about any of them.
Bobba Fett Great actors, great action doesn't save this unbelievable mish mash of a dozen other gangster movie cliché . Ed Harris replays his fine role as the Hell's Kitchen chieftain "Frank" from the 1990 State of Grace, just he's in the wrong movie trilogy. Then it all just goes south very quickly into fantasy-land. The father son team of Liam Neeson & pouty face Hayden Christensen (I think?) strut around New York taking Planes, Trains & Automobiles after killing gangsters,corrupt cops & drug dealers all the while being shown on the 7 O'Clock News as the killers on the run. Liam's in a dirty army jacket,his face all cut & angry looking and no New Yorker notices his face looks exactly like America's Most Wanted. ,that just ruined it for me. Now The Ex Hit-man killer Liam Neeson must take at least 5 or 6 taxi rides from Queens to upstate New York without being bothered by those one million citizens of New York that would surely notice this angry army jacket killer with sourly pouty face son in tow .Now remember that Liam is supposed to be flat broke and begging for beer money.I guess if you're a New York Taxi driver its just another day on the job in this fair city & you work for free. Here's another example, the father/son tag team go to a Section 8 ten story building and knock on a hundred doors (they don't know what unit this black teen lives at) to warn this young black kid that a gang of crazed white men are looking for him. Now all the people behind the doors think nothing of opening up and talking to two hyperventilating blabbering white strangers.Also his whiny son Hayden Christensen checks on his prego wife without the cops staking out the address or even bothering knocking on the door of America's Most Wanted. Now another Hit-man ,Rapper Elam "Common Sense" Ferguson walking off the set of Hell on Wheels also checks out crimes scenes as the Terminator to kill the retired Hit-man after Ed Harris orders his washed-up friend to be killed for killing his junkie son after almost killing whiny Hayden Christensen. Lots of scenes without anyone rubbing two brain cells together fact checking common script sense. Forgettable gangster movie worth half a watch as your texting why this movie sucks.
edwagreen Unfortunately proves that even if you've reformed and been away from crime, something or someone shall draw you back.This is the case with Liam Neeson and Ed Harris, bot former criminals who tried to go straight. Problem was that Harris's son was no good and gets mixed up with heroin dealers. He kills them and as Neeson's son was the limousine driver who took the victims, not knowing who they were to the son of Harris, he soon becomes part of the problem.When Neeson kills Ed's son as the latter was going to shoot his son, Harris swears revenge on Neeson and his son for what has occurred. This begins a terrible night of survival by everyone with shootings, and chases abounding.An absorbing film with Neeson protecting a son who had given up on him years before for his evil doings and a police department ripe with corruption.
sol- Chased by both mobsters and the police after killing the son of a local mob boss, a former mob hit-man finds a chance to bond with his own estranged son (who the mob also want dead) in this Liam Neeson action thriller. The plot has several similarities to 'Road to Perdition' with a wayward mob boss son, a mob boss whose loyalties are tested (Neeson's childhood friend here) and a father and son on the run who both come to indelibly appreciate one another, however, the film is nowhere near as classy as 'Road to Perdition' and the dynamic is not quite as interesting with the son fully grown. Ed Harris is effective in the equivalent of Paul Newman's role in 'Perdition', but he never quite gets the screen time he deserves considering how much of the plot hinges on his friendship with Neeson. An uncredited Nick Nolte is also solid, but Neeson shines the most here, bringing a weariness not seen in his previous collaborations with 'Unknown' and 'Non-Stop' director Jaume Collet-Serra. Neeson projects regret, sorrow and disenchantment - reminders of what a capable dramatic actor he was before 'Taken' made him an actor star. That said, the claims of this being Neeson's finest action film seem out of line. The characterisations may be decent here, but the plot offers nothing new and none of the action scenes are all that remarkable. Of course, the case could be argued that this is a positive since the film is surprisingly story-driven and down-to- earth, but it is more engaging than 'Unknown' or 'Non-Stop' for that? One's mileage is likely to vary.
