Trailer: Neeson, Kinnaman & Harris in Run All Night

With the Taken series now behind him, Liam Neeson can move onto slightly more interesting projects like Run All NightDirected by Non-Stop’s Jaume Collet-Serra, the feature sees him team-up with Joel Kinnaman and Ed Harris for an old-fashioned crime-actioner. Here’s the official Warner Brother’s synopsis:

Brooklyn mobster and prolific hit man Jimmy Conlon (Neeson), once known as The Gravedigger, has seen better days. Longtime best friend of mob boss Shawn Maguire (Harris), Jimmy, now 55, is haunted by the sins of his past—as well as a dogged police detective (D’Onofrio) who’s been one step behind Jimmy for 30 years. Lately, it seems Jimmy’s only solace can be found at the bottom of a whiskey glass.

But when Jimmy’s estranged son, Mike (Kinnaman), becomes a target, Jimmy must make a choice between the crime family he chose and the real family he abandoned long ago. With Mike on the run, Jimmy’s only penance for his past mistakes may be to keep his son from the same fate Jimmy is certain he’ll face himself…at the wrong end of a gun. Now, with nowhere safe to turn, Jimmy just has one night to figure out exactly where his loyalties lie and to see if he can finally make things right.

Of course I wouldn’t go expecting groundbreaking originality from Run All Night, but it certainly looks like a comfortably simple and enjoyable little flick. With Neeson on typically gruff form and Harris getting to smirk as the gleefully nasty villain, we might have some fun with this.

Run All Night hits UK cinemas May the 1st.
