Liam Neeson Films 

I have been a fan of Liam Neeson for a longtime.. Here are some of my favorite films of his..

films of his already reviewed in my blog..

1.  Cold Pursuit 2019 - is a action drama thriller film starring Liam Neeson.. The movie is a remake of a Norwegian vigilante film title In Order of Disappearance and both films were directed by Hans Moland... The film follows Nel Coxman (Liam Neeson) a snowplow driver when his wold comes crashing in after learning his son has died under mysterious circumstances.. As he searches for the truth he leaves a trail of revenge against a drug lord named Viking .. This film is what I would expect in a dramatic action Neeson film.. I loved it.. and was on the edge of my seat from start to finish..

After seeing Cold Pursuit .. I searched out the original Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance and it was actually great watching it and seeing what changes had been made for the US version..  The biggest changes in between the original film and the US film is when the mother comes in to confront her ex husband the drug lord and in the original he strikes her in the face.. it was shot very differently for the US film and just in case you wanted to know I loved the original movie as well..

2.  Widows 2018 - is a heist drama crime thriller.  The basic premise of the film is a group of women who lost their husbands in a heist gone wrong are threatened by the crime boss that lost loot in the botched deal.  After one of the women find a detailed plan of the next heist in a book by her husband she enlists the other women to complete the next heist in order to repay the debt to the crime boss. The movie than follows the women as they practice and execute the crime.  I do not want to give away too much of the movie but I will tell you the film has an outstanding cast including Liam Neeson, Viola Davis and Robert Duvall just to name a few.  The film also features a dramatic turn of events that will leave you stunned.  This movie is well worth watching and keeps your attention throughout. I enjoyed it very much and have no doubt you will too.

3.  Schindler's List 1993 - is a historical drama based on the novel Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally.. The film follows Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) a German Bohemian businessman who save the lives of more than a thousand mostly Polish Jewish refugees from the Holocaust by employing them in his factories during WWII..  This movie is graphic, brutally gut wrenching, horrific and yet hypnotizing stunning masterpiece.. I have to be honest I have seen this film several times over the years.. It truly paints a vivid picture of WWII history .. Please watch this movie..

4.  A Walk Among the Tombstones 2014 - is a drama action thriller based on a book by the same name by Lawrence Block.. The film stars Liam Neeson (one of my favorite actors) as retired Detective Matt Scudder who now is working as an unlicensed private detective..  In the movie.. Matt is approached by a drug trafficker whose wife has was kidnapped and brutally murdered..Scudder takes the case and soon discovers other similar cases.. Typical of Liam Neeson films this one has many twists and turns along the way.. including a homeless youth (named T.J.) that Matt befriends and seemingly takes under his wing..  Definitely a crime drama.. that I very much enjoyed and so will you.. 

5.  Taken movie franchise Taken -2008, Taken 2 -2012, Taken 3 -2015  The trilogy of Taken stars actor Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills a former CIA operative.  In the first installment his daughter is kidnapped on a holiday in France with her friend by sex traffickers and Bryan Mills uses his skills to track down his daughter's kidnappers. 

Taken 2 installment begins when the Albanians take revenge on the CIA operative while in Istanbul and kidnap both him and his ex-wife for one of the deaths while saving his daughter when she was kidnapped two years earlier.

Taken 3 installment begins when his ex-wife is murdered and he finds her lifeless body in his apartment. While Bryan seeks to find his ex wife's murderer, he also has to evade the police (Forest Whitaker) who seeks to arrest him.

All three installments are packed with plenty of drama, action, well scripted performances and some of Liam Neeson's best work.

6.  Gangs of New York 2002 - is an epic period drama set in the slums of New York .. based on a book by the same name by Herbert Asbury.. The film focuses on the 1863 feud between the Catholics and Protestants which erupts into violence along with a group of Irish immigrants protesting on wages.. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis, Cameron Diaz, Liam Neeson and many others.. This film is full of detail, inspiring and captivating.. I really enjoyed it.. After watching the film I did some research about the era..
