It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This isn't a great movie but there's some good suspense, thrills and action and Liam Neeson is always great. In this he has to decide between his son, who he has problems with, and his boss and best friend, Ed Harris, who he has always been loyal to. A fun watch.

This is for Liam Neeson fans. Ed harris gives a fantastic performance too. The scenes between the two veteran actors are mesmerizing. The action scenes are brilliantly shot. Joel Edgarton looks nice too. It may not make sense in many scenes since it borrows elements from movies in 80's.

RUN ALL NIGHT marks the third collaboration between star Liam Neeson and director Jaume Collet-Serra; their previous movies were the disappointing UNKNOWN and the above-average NON-STOP. RUN ALL NIGHT falls somewhere in the middle of those two films in terms of quality; it's a good enough mob thriller although not quite good enough to be considered a classic or indeed a regular watch. The film's very familiarity is what works against it throughout. Neeson and his adult son, played by Joel Kinnaman, are forced to go on the run from mob boss Ed Harris when things go bad, and the film follows the situation from there. It's set over a single night, which gives it some fun, but the story has been done before and done better, for example in Sam Mendes' ROAD TO PERDITION.This means you end up watching the film to enjoy the other qualities. If a thriller's plotting is unremarkable then it must have outstanding action scenes, and the action in RUN ALL NIGHT is fun although not quite spellbinding. The bit in the subway station and the attack in the burning apartment complex are both good scenes but there are too many slow bits in the middle, and the two hour running time is half an hour too long. Collet-Serra can't do a proper transition scene without some lame CGI effects of the sped-up camera flying up in the sky and across the city, which I found quite tiresome after a while.In terms of the cast, Neeson is on autopilot in this one. He looks old and tired and you wonder how much of that is really acting. Harris is suitably imposing as the antagonist of the piece, but his role is a virtual reprise of the one he played in A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. Best of the bunch is the great Kinnaman, of the EASY MONEY trilogy, but he's kept off the screen for way too long. RUN ALL NIGHT is a fine enough slice of entertainment for genre fans but it's one of those films which simply doesn't hold up if you think about it too long.

Great actors, great action doesn't save this unbelievable mish mash of a dozen other gangster movie cliché . Ed Harris replays his fine role as the Hell's Kitchen chieftain "Frank" from the 1990 State of Grace, just he's in the wrong movie trilogy. Then it all just goes south very quickly into fantasy-land. The father son team of Liam Neeson & pouty face Hayden Christensen (I think?) strut around New York taking Planes, Trains & Automobiles after killing gangsters,corrupt cops & drug dealers all the while being shown on the 7 O'Clock News as the killers on the run. Liam's in a dirty army jacket,his face all cut & angry looking and no New Yorker notices his face looks exactly like America's Most Wanted. ,that just ruined it for me. Now The Ex Hit-man killer Liam Neeson must take at least 5 or 6 taxi rides from Queens to upstate New York without being bothered by those one million citizens of New York that would surely notice this angry army jacket killer with sourly pouty face son in tow .Now remember that Liam is supposed to be flat broke and begging for beer money.I guess if you're a New York Taxi driver its just another day on the job in this fair city & you work for free. Here's another example, the father/son tag team go to a Section 8 ten story building and knock on a hundred doors (they don't know what unit this black teen lives at) to warn this young black kid that a gang of crazed white men are looking for him. Now all the people behind the doors think nothing of opening up and talking to two hyperventilating blabbering white strangers.Also his whiny son Hayden Christensen checks on his prego wife without the cops staking out the address or even bothering knocking on the door of America's Most Wanted. Now another Hit-man ,Rapper Elam "Common Sense" Ferguson walking off the set of Hell on Wheels also checks out crimes scenes as the Terminator to kill the retired Hit-man after Ed Harris orders his washed-up friend to be killed for killing his junkie son after almost killing whiny Hayden Christensen. Lots of scenes without anyone rubbing two brain cells together fact checking common script sense. Forgettable gangster movie worth half a watch as your texting why this movie sucks.
