A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014)

The Worst Film Ever

Such a frustrating disappointment

So much average

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

'A Walk Among the Tombstones' is little bit more than usual Liam Neeson action flick. Bleak and gritty psychological thriller which roots definitely lie in the neo-noir genre and it also stands somewhat as an homage to hard boiled detective stories (Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe are referenced several times and the screenplay is based on the novel of the same name by author Lawrence Block). Although the film barely manages to float over the usual genre clichés it fails to offer anything new and by the end it is still a standard fare that is pretty forgettable. Liam Neeson's dedicated performance felt even too much of a waste for such a film.

How many more of these is L.N. going to make. Boring acting, no heart in it at all. Going through the motions to get a paycheck. Stupid ending, not realistic in anyway. Weak action scenes, no suspense. What tombstones are they walking through. One scene in a graveyard, even if it's used metaphorically. Very much of a waste of time. The premise is absolutely ridiculous so far fetched it's like we have no minds. Thanks but no thanks. Please Liam no more, just put some effort into a real movie that forces you to actually act.

Private investigator Matthew Scudder is hired by a drug kingpin to find out who kidnapped and murdered his wife. A Walk Among the Tombstones is one of those movies that a lot of people won't enjoy and i'm totally OK with that but there's a lot of good stuff about this movie for example the slow and really cool detective moments, the noir and dark vibe that it sells sometimes it makes you ask for more, Liam Neeson is doing a great job and he really fits the part well especially his past sometimes comes back to haunt him. Also the 2 men that play the killers also do a really good amount of job plus i liked the character of TJ and how he fit with the story. But if there was this whole mystery and detective mode for the first 2 acts well the 3rd one tried to become an action film with people getting killed very easily, fight sequences and a very weird ending to say the least. If the movie had stayed of what it was from the start i would have given it the perfect score but if any of you do actually see it just remember it's not an action movie it's a crime/thriller and drama kind of a film with a really great performance by Liam Neeson. (9/10)

Ratings: 6.5/10 from 79,852 users… yea right… The films is probably 6 /10 at the best case scenario. I just hope a dark atmosphere and some nice action. Everything else, will be a pleasant surprise.3 minutes – and a nice action is already rolling. This is what I like, straight to the point~! 18 minutes – holy smokes~@! It's strong, I like it 31 minutes – if you like films about detectives this one should get the job done. It is quite pleasurable to watch 50 minutes – it reminds me of 8MM (1999), which I loved~! 1h 12 minutes – nothing extraordinary here, but it is not bad either~! I can honestly say, I am positively surprised with this one 1h 29 minutes – and it's getting betterWhat a pleasant surprise~! I got everything I wanted and some more with this one. Ladies and gentleman, it is genuine solid film.tgchan's rating: 7 /10
