Liam Neeson Revenge Thriller 'Blacklight' is a Streaming Hit on Netflix

Liam Neeson is one of those stars that audiences are drawn to – especially if he is taking down bad guys as a vigilante-style law enforcer. That is probably why 2022 movie Blacklight is now finding success on the Netflix global chart. With Neeson recently claiming that his time making action movies could be coming to an end soon, perhaps fans just feel they need to cram in as many of his previous movies when they show up on streaming. Netflix is the home of many successful action movies of the past, so Blacklight is just the latest in a long line that have found themselves frequenting the Top 10 on the platform on many occasions. In this movie, Neeson plays Travis Block, a government operative drawn into a conspiracy that threatens his family and his life – surprise, surprise right? As you would expect, the story finds Neeson’s character balancing up his pursuit of justice,

Blacklight – Review

Liam Neeson in Mark Williams’ action thriller Blacklight. Courtesy of Briarcliff Entertainment. Liam Neeson has enjoyed an unusual career arc. The distinguished actor wasn’t considered an action hero until he unleashed his now-famous “particular set of skills” on the bad dudes what snatched his daughter in 2008’s Taken. At the time, he was 60 – an age when actors not named Bronson, Willis or Eastwood begin slowing down, rather than ramping up the adrenaline levels in their script selections. Unfortunately, this outing, Blacklight, fails to land in his admirably lengthy plus column. In the string of Taken flicks and others, his motivation was personal and familial. Some comedian remarked that after three Taken adventures, his Bryan Mills character may not be a hero – just a really negligent dad. This time Neeson strays into clandestine political machinations in a vehicle that’s as poorly timed as it was written. Leeson’s Travis

‘Blacklight’ Review: Liam Neeson Does His Weary-Warrior Thing in Another Run-and-Gun Thriller

If “Blacklight” were any more generic, it would have a barcode instead of opening credits, and jettison its title in favor of a stenciled label: Liam Neeson Thriller. But if you approach it with sufficiently lowered expectations, and have fond memories of the ’70s paranoid dramas that obviously inspired director and co-writer Mark Williams, this might be your house-brand jam. That might not be enough for you to rush inside a multiplex to catch this time-killer during what likely will be a fleeting “Only In Theaters” run. “Blacklight” probably will play best when it reaches its natural habitat on streaming platform menus. Continuing his seemingly endless run as the action-hero equivalent of Dad Jeans, Neeson brings his reliably effective world-weary gravitas to the role of Travis Block, a free-lance “fixer” for FBI director and long-time buddy Gabriel Robinson (Aidan Quinn). Block is frequently tasked with extracting deep-cover agents when their cover is blown — or,
