The Commuter
Liam Neeson says he is"unretired"from natural process moviesless than two weeks after reports come out that he was done with the genre . While Neeson has made unerasable marks across the movie spectrum throughout his calling with such film as Schindler ’s List , Star Wars : Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace , Gangs of New YorkandBatman Begins , he ’s no doubt attracted the most aid in the last decade thanks to the blockbusterTakenand the moving-picture show ’s two sequels , and movie like the big sieve variant ofThe A - Teamin between .
Because of Neeson ’s undeniable cold , gruff and take - no - prisoner conduct in his natural process films , moving picture fans ( and most probable studios ) were caught off guard when he imply his career represent tough guys was over , noting,“They’re still throwing serious money at me to do that stuff . I ’m like : ‘ Guy , I ’m sixty - f - cking - five . ’ audience are eventually going to go : ‘ Come on . ' ”
Now , it seem that Neeson is doing an about - face on his comment and making it clear that he ’s definitelynotthrough doing natural process plastic film . harmonize toVariety , Neeson was asked on the red carpet for the premiere ofMark Felt : The Man Who bring Down the White Houseabout his"retirement"from the literary genre , the actor responded with a laugh :
" It ’s not true , see at me ! You ’re talking in the past tense . I ’m go to be doing action movies until they inhume me in the dry land . I ’m unretired . ”
The news of Neeson’s"unretirement"will no doubt descend as a relief for fans of the imposing 6 - foot-4 - column inch Irish player , whose part as famed FBI whistleblower Felt ( aka " Deep Throat " ) during the Watergate malicious gossip is decidedly more modest - key than any of his recent action films .
It ’s operose to say whether Neeson ’s initial quote about hanging up his action career was overblown , but because he has a lawful dot about what should be the turn off - off compass point for actors when it come to debar an audience ’s disbelief . fortuitously for Neeson , he ’s shown no signs of slowing down in recent years and look as fit as ever , so there ’s a rationality his remarks have people by surprisal . But thanks to well old - fashioned movie illusion and highly - skilled stunt the great unwashed , filmmakers should be able to continue to make the out of the question potential for Neeson no matter his old age .
For the time being , coming up in January , Neeson will star in the criminal offence mystery dramaThe Commuter , and with the actor’sNon - StopandRun All Nightdirector Jaume Collet - Serra at the helm , it ’s entirely within understanding to believe the moving picture is going to have its share of high - vim moments .
Plus , Neeson ’s has another crime drama come up with theater director Steve McQueen’sWindowsnext yr , as well as the action thrillerHard Powder , about a snowplow driver out for revenge against drug dealers who may have killed his son . In the latter film , at least , it sounds like Neeson will once again be able to put to work his"particular set of attainment . "
