A Walk Among the Tombstones

A Walk Among the Tombstones written and directed by Scott Frank, starring Liam Neeson, Maurice Compte, Dan Stevens, and David Harbour.

Finally Liam Neeson has found a movie that doesn't try to retread his movie Taken.  Don't get me wrong though it still is Neeson kicking ass and taking a few names but it's done in a completely different way than Taken.  That's a good thing.

This is basically a cops and robbers type of story where Liam Neeson is trying to find a serial killer.  This movie doesn't break any new ground but it's told in a good manner as the story line lets Neeson's characters take forefront in the narrative as he guides the viewer through the twists and turns of the detective story.  It's told well enough, with enough character touches, and back story that I wouldn't mind another couple of movies with this character as long as Neeson is playing him.
