I have always like Liam Neeson, ever since I first saw him in the horribly cheesy but very ambitious (for it's time that is) 80's fantasy flick Krull. Although he has played in some fantastic films over his career, like most film stars he also played part in some not so good films. But even in those lesser works he was never the problem, he would always make the best out of a bad situation. In probably his most recognized role (unfortunately) as Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars Episode 1, he took a horribly bland character and gave it some dignity. Even when Qui-Gon would make a stupid decision somehow Neeson made it seem like the most logical choice at the time (although that effect wore off after multiple viewings). He does that for all his roles, he never fails to give 110% and I cannot think of one time where it felt like he was phoning it in. He may have only just become the super star he should have been years ago but at least he is still hard at work giving us some great films. Here are my five picks for Liam Neeson's best films to date.
“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.
I would have been upset if Rob Roy hadn't been mentioned but it was. That was when I first started likeing him. He's a wonderful actor and I like most of his movies. I have to admit I haven't seen all of them but most of them.
dont know about the kingdom of heaven, he is just a supporting role in that film
