The Story:
Matt Scudder (Neeson) is a former cop turned private investigator after a tragic accident in his career. He is approached to take a case to find the men who murdered the wife of a drug dealer after taking her ransom. He passes, but when he learns that the man paid the ransom, and that they had already killed his wife, he begins to piece together that this is the M.O. in some other cases, and he realizes that if he wants to save the life of the next victim, he better spring into action.
If you want a man with a certain skill set to find and kill people, you hire Liam Neeson and let him do his job.
That is, after all, what he does pretty much since his role in Taken.
However, if it's not broken, and the audiences want to buy tickets for it, ride that horse until it won't go anymore!
At this point, you know how the story will play out, and again, that's fine for what it is.
Nothing awful.
Nothing spectacular.
You've seen it all before but Neeson hasn't worn out his welcome...
Yet.
I give this a C+
