Despite turning 70 in 2022, Liam Neeson is still one of the best action stars in Hollywood.
He's turning it on again in "Blacklight" exclusively in Cinemas.
And he's bringing sexy back along with some talented people he's worked with in the past including his co-star Aidan Quinn ("Unknown")who first landed on my movie radar back in 1985 as "Dez" alongside Madonna in "Desperately Seeking Susan".
Also returning to the fold is Director Mark Williams.
Together Neeson & Williams joined forces on "Honest Thief" & "The Marksman".
In "Blacklight" Liam is a government trained weapon having a conscious crisis with his dark past.
You're not going to believe it, but at one point he thinks his family has been "Taken" and he almost utters the same line to his nemesis with a few words changed to avoid a law suit with the writers of that franchise.
To put Neeson's busy career in perspective he played a retired agent in that series of movies 14 years ago and he's showing no signs of slowing down or retirement himself in real life any time soon.
In the interests of full disclosure I'd probably watch anything this lanky Irishman makes 'cos he's got the Golden Years of Hollywood X-Factor...something rare in this decade or century.
The Garbage Truck chase scene through the streets of Canberra, Australia is worth the price of admission alone.
Fun Fact: This movie was filmed on location in Oz during World War C.
Even though the budget was only $43 million it looks way more expensive.
To stop this force of nature they're gonna need more men.
