Liam Neeson returns for more aging action-adventure, this time as a Grandpa with a special set of skills trying to escape from his government job.
I love Liam Neeson movies, I love action movies. Together, they can generally be fun, even if they aren’t all that deep. In his latest, Blacklight seems to be bringing together some of Neeson’s greatest action movie hits all together:
Trust, identity, and the danger of unchecked power push a covert operative to the edge in director Mark Williams’ intense action thriller Blacklight. Travis Block (Neeson) lives and fights in the shadows. A freelance government “fixer,” Block is a dangerous man whose assignments have included extracting agents out of deep-cover situations. When Block discovers a shadowy program called Operation Unity is striking down ordinary citizens for reasons known only to Block’s boss, FBI chief Robinson (Quinn), he enlists the help of a journalist (Raver-Lampman), but his past and present collide when his daughter and granddaughter are threatened. Now Block needs to rescue the people he loves and expose the truth for a shot at redemption. Nothing and no one is safe when secrets are hidden in Blacklight.
Blacklight is set to hit theaters on February 11, 2022.
