You Probably Missed Liam Neeson’s Recent Wild Gangster Thriller, but Its Unique Premise and His Big Mustache Make It Worth a Go
Liam Neeson's exciting and recent thriller Absolution is a reminder that the esteemed actor's best weapon is his humanity.
Liam Neeson’s 2024 action-thriller Absolution offers something both familiar and slightly surprising. Its trailer sells spirited gunfights that promise another high-body-count shoot-‘em-up—a trademark of Neeson's movies since starring in Taken. But Absolution is an intimate story about regret, family, and the fear of dying alone. Neeson reunites with director Hans Petter Moland in their first collaboration since 2019’s Cold Pursuit. He plays a nameless, terminally ill, aging gangster known only as Thug, who tries to make right his relationship with his estranged family.
