Liam Neeson
is one of the older Hollywood actors who made a huge comeback in the recent
years. People believed the movie era of action flicks with griming alcoholic
would be overtaken by a newer generation of Marvel superheroes who are family
friendly. The youngest one would be Jason Statham, but with the success of
96Hours Liam is back better than ever. Expect another movie about a fallen hero
who regains his honor and a lot of action even though everything happens on a
plane.
The movie
starts with our fallen hero who drinks before going off to work. He holds a
band of his daughter that gives him the strength to survive another day as an
Air Marshall. This time a psychopath who knows everything about him, treats him
to kill a passenger every twenty minutes if he doesn’t get a ridiculous huge
sum of money. Liam tries to catch him but can’t find out his identity even
though the persons on board are limited and almost no one besides himself could
be capable of the killings. Even the audience will doubt if there is really a
terrorist or if Liam himself is the true mastermind. It develops into a nice
cats and mouse game in which the ending is unsure till the end. Liam does
what he always does. He is rough around the edges and somehow show in glimpses
of moments sympathy as he helps to calm down a scared child and in the other
break someone else nose without asking too many questions. This movie won’t
present you anything new or terrific. The action is done well, but not
overwhelming. Some nice scenes and tricks, but bland in comparison to a marvel
one or even the Expendables. The story is interesting, but something you will
forget one or two days afterwards. It even has moments of boredom to prolong
the relatively short movie. It mostly plays on the plane and there it is
difficult to show something new or have a change of setting. The actors are bland in the light of Liam
Neeson who nearly does everything by himself. Everyone else is there for the
sake to have enough people to doubt.
The
special effects are just a few that fit in the movie. Seeing text messages pop
up so the viewer can read it is fun and they really tried to be as creative as
possible with the presentation of it. The music fits the movie without being
big. It’s just supports the movie in a subtle way. All in all the movies was
done in a good way that you will most likely like it, but it's not a movie you
need to see because all your friends will talk about. It’s a movie you could
see if nothing else sparks your interest or you have a boring Sunday evening.
