Tombstones
review by

*****
Directed by Scott Frank
Taken star Liam
Neeson forays into one more mission with equilibrium and panache which has a resemblance
of his preceding movie.
Set in the year
1998 Former NYPD cop Matthew Scudder [Liam Neeson] is hired by a drug dealer Kenny
Kristo [Dan Stevens] to unearth the slaughterer of his wife. While on his
investigation he befriend with a teenage black boy TJ [Bradley] who helps in
the research of past crime news reports in a library. As he develops some traces
to reach the mysterious killer, one more horrifying incident of a young girl
being abducted comes on his pursuit adding more woe.
Ultimately Scudder
gets the evidence of two perverts Albert [Thompson] and Ray [Harbour] a gay
couple are responsible for the gruesome killings of Kenny’s wife and the
kidnapping of the young girl, thus he lays a plan in how to give away the
ransom amount without any errors and harm and get the girl back.
With focus to
the key characters the movie evolves well and gives some nerve wrecking
experience.
A completely Liam
Neeson film with intelligently crafted action and thrills to watch with
patience.
