A better than average Liam Neeson action fulm with suberb casting. At first glance this movie looks like the typical Liam Neeson action-revenge-flick that we all have gotten used to but this Irish flick is definitely one up from some of his latest more run of the mill gangster stories. The Land Of Saints & Sinners is admittedly an action/revenge thriller set in Ireland at the time of ‘The Troubles’ and it’s pretty clear what you’re going to get as soon as the film starts. And there won’t be any twists and turns by definition but it’s a damn sight more thoughtful and artistic than most of his recent films and reminds us just what a powerful presence he can be with the right material. The story takes place in a small irish coastal town during the 70’s. Liam Neeson plays an ex war hero now turned hitman, and when trying to turn his old sinful life around he gets in trouble with a bunch of IRA terrorists in hidehout after a bombing in Dublin. The film manages to look and feel like a 70s story and the acting is very good from everyone involved. Great entertaiment.
