Run All Night Movie Blurb by Shale March 14, 2015 This action movie involves a guy, Jimmy Conlon (Liam Neeson) with a particular set of skills, but it is not like in Taken. Jimmy is having remorse for his life as an enforcer for his old friend and crime boss Shawn Maguire (Ed Harris) and is now a lonely man whose life centers around drinking too much and groveling for help from his old connection. Two Old Buddy Crooks Reminisce Jimmy has been disowned by his son Mike (Joel Kinnaman) who is trying to make it as a family man with wife Gabrielle (Génesis Rodríguez) and two daughters, driving a limo for a living and who volunteers coaching inner city, fatherless boys at a gym. Mike & Gabrielle Shawn has a boy too, Danny (Boyd Holbrook) a sociopathic kid who wants to deal heroin using his father's connections. Shawn, remembering the chaos of dealing coke in his youth, throws the dealers out and tells Danny not to get involved, but Danny rips off the dealers then murders them. Unfortunately, Mike drove them to the meeting and now has to be gotten rid of as a witness. As seen in the trailers, that is where estranged daddy comes in to protect his son, killing his old gangster friend's son in the process. Now it becomes an action movie, with Shawn sending all his forces to kill Jimmy's son before they kill Jimmy. He even calls in a professional assassin, Mr. Price (Common) with a particular set of skills better than Jimmy's. Jimmy & Mike On The Run This was more than just an action flick, it showed close but fragile relationship between two old guys, cut from the same cloth, haunted by their past but loyal to their family, no matter how dysfunctional. The scenes with Neeson and Harris were what set the movie apart from others of its kind. I was among the 67% of audiences who enjoyed the movie. 59% of the aggregate critics liked it.
