Neeson has great depth, versatility, and he has proven he can furiously captain an action role. <br /><br />I also can't wait for Taken 2. That was definitely one of the surprise great films of 2009. I liked his villain role in Batman Begins also. It was a nice change of pace.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-55777685227988531762011-03-01T08:05:18.347-05:002011-03-01T08:05:18.347-05:00huge huge huge fan of Neeson, he blew my mind in T...huge huge huge fan of Neeson, he blew my mind in Taken as a very credible and believable hard ass and can't wait for Taken 2 which he finally agreed to do. He can do so many roles, Love actually , Taken and Batman Begins being some of his work I love the most, I only have to see his name credited to a movie and its enough to make me watch it.

They're purposefully marketing Unknown in a way that appeals to the Taken crowd despite the fact that the comparisons are only surface deep.

I always appreciate a good movie recommendation and I trust your judgment!<br /><br />@ Jaccstev<br /><br />Good stuff. Neeson is definitely not your conventional action star, but once you glance at his track record, it's hard to deny. Certainly a late bloomer, the guy is so capable of inheriting the good-guy-needs-to-kick-some-ass role.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-40619468188565053592011-02-23T08:07:21.561-05:002011-02-23T08:07:21.561-05:00I'm planning to watch "Unknown" this...I'm planning to watch "Unknown" this weekend.

I was always intrigued by his ability to play a dark character in Batman Begins.

This is a great art...I am a huge Liam Neeson fan!!<br /><br />This is a great article, and you did a great job of highlighting his work. He was the perfect choice for the ultimate literary hero, Jean Valjean, in 1998's "Les Miserables." This is when I really took notice! I also thought he was great in "Gangs of New York." And "Batman Begins." And "Kinsey." And "Love Actually." Oh hell! He's just amazing!Rachel [f.g.i.]https://www.blogger.com/profile/03810466483340479180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-66141665779748211502011-02-22T15:30:45.768-05:002011-02-22T15:30:45.768-05:00I usually put Liam in the category of actors who a...I usually put Liam in the category of actors who are often present in films but I've never really developed an attitude towards them, beside Viggo Mortensen, Javier Bardem and similar actors. <br />What I do like about him is that he often tends to have a warm, fatherly note to his roles ... which is nice, since I can't stand regular brutes. This is why my favourite of Liam's roles is the one from LOVE ACTUALLY.DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.com
