Neeson is known for being a major action hero ever since “Taken” turned into a monster hit. While Neeson certainly had some other significant roles – “Schindler’s List” is a great example – the film about a man’s daughter being kidnapped turned him into a household name.
He’s appeared in multiple “Taken” sequels and several other action heavy movies. His entire brand now is playing characters that kill bad guys, and it’s made him very rich.
It appears you can now officially add another movie to the list.

Liam Neeson stars in “In the Land of Saints and Sinners.”
The plot of his newest movie is described as, “Ireland, 1970s. Eager to leave his dark past behind, Finbar Murphy (Liam Neeson) leads a quiet life in the remote coastal town of Glencolmcille, far from the political violence that grips the rest of the country.
But when a menacing crew of terrorists arrive, led by a ruthless woman named Doirean (Kerry Condon), Finbar is drawn into an increasingly vicious game of cat and mouse, forcing him to choose between exposing his secret identity or defending his friends and neighbors.”
The plot should be enough to captivate you, but just in case it’s not, the trailer will get the job done. Smash the play button below, and then let me know your thoughts at [email protected].
Pretty badass, right? This movie looks like it was literally made for Liam Neeson. The tone and premise couldn’t be more on-point for the action star.
“I’ve seen enough killing for a lifetime” is also a hell of a line. I’ve heard some veterans say the same thing in real life, and they’re not bluffing over overselling it. Hearing that line or variations of it always hits differently.
Now, that’s the mentality and energy Neeson is bringing fans with “In the Land of Saints and Sinners.” Also, I had no idea former “Game of Thrones” star Jack Gleeson was making movies.
Talk about a blast from the past. He was horrific as Joffrey in “GoT.” Now, he’s teaming up with Liam Neeson for a movie that appears to be a total bloodbath.
