Run All Night is exactly the kind of fast paced, gritty and entertaining genre film you'd expect from Liam Neeson at the top of his game. Here he plays a disgraced Irish triggerman who must protect his estranged son from the wrath of his boss, himself seeking revenge for the death of his son. Although the plot sounds like bad Shakespeare, the film manages to be consistently gripping, thanks to great work by Joel Kinnaman and Neeson as father and son and Ed Harris and Common, as two strikingly different villains. It all plays out roughly as you'd expect, but when the ingredients are this good, that doesn't really matter. A first class thriller, exciting and for the most part, completely believable. Neeson's best film since The Grey.
