A Walk Among the Tombstones Review - 6/10
Based on a series of books, Neeson plays a retired cop who does
"favors" for people as an undercover detective. I personally haven't
read the books so I had no idea what to expect. In the movie, he is
sought out to help a husband whose wife was brutally murdered.
As he begins to look for clues, he finds old murders of similarity. The
story picks up at this point and we learn more about Neeson's character
and why he retired at such a young age.
To nit pick, there was a lot of phone conversations that
reminded me a little too much of "Taken", as well as more than enough
cliché's for a crime/thriller. I did like the dark tone of the film and
a couple one liners delivered by Neeson. It's not action packed with
only 2 gun shoot outs that last maybe 30 seconds a piece. I enjoyed the
movie for what it was, but without Neeson I probably don't even watch
it.
