@Nepia www.google.com can be helpful here.
Clue to what I watched is in the thread title …
Sheesh, I wasn't calling you out claiming otherwise ... I just remembered it as a mini series in my head.

Retribution
The most recent Liam Neeson embarrassment
So fucking tiresome.- Off the bat - the protagonist is introduced as being a jerk
- His kids - fucking tiresome irritating brats
- Wife: tiresome shrew
- Antagonist enters the scene - tiresome and idiotic
- Example victim 1 - tiresome prick, example victim 2 - shrieking beeatch
- Cop - witless
- Conversations between protagonist and cop - contortionist dialogue to avoid the simple "I'm not the bad guy, and here's how we can prove it" discussion
- "Twist" - expected
- Ending - fucking dumb. Tiresome dumb. I think, I was struggling to pay attention at that point.
- Nod from cop to protagonist at the end - fuck off. ZERO reason for her to have changed her mind since the last conversation
Just... tiresome. A constant beatdown on the senses.
1.5 easily defused bombs out of 5 easily defused misunderstandings.
TIred. -
@Kruse gots to be bad if you dont even give a TW rating, although being Neeson, I expect zero anyway.
Neeson does have along way to go to reach Eric Roberts status as a movie legend/slut.

He never will though cos unlike Roberts Neeson at least USED to be great.
Eric Roberts found his niche from day one and stuck to it.

I guess I'm an oddity in that I genuinely don't mind most of the Neeson films. They're not great, but they're watchable and I'm generally never bored with them. Of course afterwards they've all blended into one.
I think the Stath is similar too, most of his films are not great but watchable and afterwards they all blend into one.

Shit - yeah... it was so bad, I forgot about tits.
WTAF Neeson? How dare you? -
To Live and Die in L.A.
Friedkin obviously watched Miami Vice and thought it was time to redo The French Connection.
A clear period piece from the 80s, down to the ridiculous script, hammy acting and shit electronic music.
TW; some but nothing spectacular.
Will not watch again.

@mariner4life are you thinking this one
-
@taniwharugby oh yeah! i admit @mariner4life had me thinking it did sound familier

Silent night:
While I applaud the implicit civic values, somebody should have a quiet word with the hero regards gun safety.
Violent night: John Wick on a middle-aged Viking reunion tour meets Dirty Santa but doesn't get the same sort of action. Sid the Sloth reveals kickarse martial arts moves.
-
nah it was definitely that one, but i guess the trailer came out ages ago

What do you expect. The guy's 71 FFS but we are supposed to believe he's driving his kids to school?
In about 3-4 years you've probably just described Mel Gibson..

Actually Eric Roberts was nominated for an Academy Award way back in the day.
