Liam Neeson It was widely announced as an action hero after the premiere of ‘revenge’ in 2008, transforming his public image of a dramatic actor into the stark protagonist we know today. However, Neeson’s best action thriller according to criticism It is not his most famous saga, but would not arrive until 15 years later.
‘In the land of saints and sinners’ focuses on an older protagonist, more tormented by guilt, whose life has been marked by death, repentance and organized crime. Neeson interprets Finbar Murphy, an old Irish murderer who is offered an opportunity to redempted after saving a young woman from an abusive member of the anger. Murphy differs from other protagonists of Neeson’s action for his introspection, his softness and his deep regret for his murders. Such a role was destined to harvest successes, and It is not surprising that the film broke the four -year streak of Neeson’s negative scores in Rotten Tomatoes.
“In addition to offering a powerful and disturbing narrative, it also stands out for gathering an impressive cast composed of several generations of Irish actors- in addition, the film is distinguished from other action thrillers by the hesitation of its protagonist in the face of violence, since Murphy only resorts to it when he considers it necessary or does not have another realistic option,” says the criticism in Screenrant. “While ‘revenge’ glorifies Neeson’s violence on behalf of revenge for his daughter, ‘in the land of saints and sinners’ instead explores the trauma that Murphy drags from his past murders as an murderer. Instead of chasing the members of the IRA in a thrilling thriller, Murphy reflects, taking the weapons at reluctant against terrorists while longing for a better life. “
Removed from officially action cinema, ‘in the land of saints and sinners’ is a good option to see this Neeson that will no longer return. In Spain it is in streaming in Movistar Plus.
