The Marksman

Thriller. Action A rancher on the Arizona border becomes the unlikely defender of a young Mexican boy desperately fleeing the cartel assassins who’ve pursued him into the U.S.
Media Author Review
United States
The Hollywood Reporter
"The movie displays the measured pacing and tautness marking many of Eastwood's films, and Neeson delivers an Eastwood-style performance while also revealing an emotional vulnerability that proves fully relatable" 
United States
Variety
"Robert Lorenz, stages the action with a convincing ebb and flow, but thanks to an undercooked script what happens in between is mostly boilerplate." 
United Kingdom
Screendaily
"Although Neeson has a nice rapport with young costar Jacob Perez, there’s no escaping the formulaic storyline featuring uncomplicated good guys and abundantly villainous bad guys." 
United States
The Wrap
"You’ve seen an armed, angry Neeson in countless films more interesting than this one" 
United States
IndieWire
"'A movie that tries to thread the needle between John Wick and 'The Mule' (...) The Marksman' is too enamored with its low-rent January aesthetics to make any detours towards depth." 
United States
AV Club
"If one were to diagnose a central problem with The Marksman, it’s that it isn’t actually a Clint Eastwood movie" 
United States
Los Angeles Times
"It’s a simplistic, closed-loop moral universe in which the major plot thread is tied up too neatly and others are pretty much forgotten" 
United States
SlashFilm
"It lacks vitality or distinction enough to set it above other Liam Neeson action films (...) It is the kind of film you watch on accident more than seek out, but you probably won’t regret the accident." 
United States
Common Sense Media
"Thanks to Robert Lorenz's smooth, simple direction and Neeson's appealing, sympathetic bond with young Perez, this action-thriller, which is steeped in cliché from top to bottom, very nearly gets by"
