The King of the gradually increasing middle-aged action hero sub-genre is undeniably Liam Neeson, whose 2008 smash hit Taken endeared him to a whole new generation of viewers, and for the last 7 years, he’s been reaping the fruits of that popularity, with a glut of action flicks and thrillers both good and bad. Of course, that’s not the only action fare in the Oscar-nominated actor’s career, with a few notable forays into the genre in his younger days, though for the most part this list will focus on his later efforts.
“Retribution,” without question, is very on-brand for Liam Neeson, but with his character stuck in a car and not fighting anyone, he channels his trademark intensity in a different way.
The first trailer for Blacklight (from the makers of Honest Thief) shows the 69-year-old actor playing the same character he has played a million times in the last few years.
The Ice Road further cements Liam Neeson’s reputation as the only action star under seventy worth his salt.
Unknown's gotta be my favorite and Taken 3's by far the worst.
