A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014)

More aged action from Liam Neeson and his nondescript accent now.
Neeson plays an ex-detective and recovering alcoholic working as an unlicensed private eye who is hired by a drug dealer, Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens, to track down the men who kidnapped and murdered his wife.
Though the casting is odd and the script is trite to say the least, in particular the tired dialogue of TJ, David Harbour and Adam Thompson are good and creepy as the psychotic bad guys and the film moves along at a good pace.
In terms of Neeson's mid-life crisis actioneering, and however hackneyed this is, it's a far better movie than any of the Taken trilogy.
I can't go so far as to recommend it but at the same time I won't lie to you and say I didn't quite enjoy it.
