The man is 68 years old, after all.

Yes, Liam Neeson is getting too old for this shit, but at least this movie realizes it.

Its a subdued, at times even intimate, old-guy action flick.

And that streamlined, bare-bones quality serves the film well.

(He has been admirably open about the real-life agony of her passing over the years.)

Tom flees, so the corrupt Feds target Annie.

As you may imagine, Tom doesnt like that at all, not one bit.

Its a spare story, and as realized onscreen byOzarkco-creator Mark Williams, its even sparer.

This somber, dead-end austerity feels right, however.

Its a blink-and-youll-miss-it grace note that speaks both to his anxiety and his can-do spirit.

Much like Eastwood, of course, Neeson can probably keep this twilight-warrior thing going a bit longer.

If this approach works, there might be more money in this bag yet.

We might get some better movies, too.
