Absolution

Liam's performance is just over the top, he plays the character so well you can sense every emotion he feels.

The movie is psychological, there were some disturbing scenes with too much violence but I guess that was needed for the story to unfold.

I don't understand the low ratings, it was a nice movie and you could not guess the plot very easily.

I thought this was gonna be another Liam Neeson's action movies and I love them but this one hits different, it's mystey, crime, psychology combined.

It is slow paced so it's not for everyone, but it's a rewarding one. I'd recommend watching this movie if you have a weird and unique taste in movies.

This is not your typical action-packed Liam Neeson movie, and that might be why some people dislike it or find it boring. However, for me, this was exactly why I enjoyed it. For the past few years, I've felt like all his movies were becoming repetitive-different titles but essentially the same movie. Absolution breaks away from that mold, offering a surprising level of emotional depth that sets it apart from his usual roles. The film provides a thoughtful exploration of redemption and relationships, which I found refreshing. That said, I wasn't a fan of the ending. It felt dragged out, taking too long to get to the point, which slightly detracted from the overall experience for me.

Liam Neeson plays a low level gangster who tries to connect with his daughter after being diagnosed with a brain disease.

Look at like this, the reason why this has such a low rating is because most people were expecting An action movie, it's not, it's a slow burn drama and it's quite good.

The movie was no doubt marketed wrong and the wrong crowd watched it in between watching tik tok reels.

This is neesons best role in years and I loved the score.

If for instance it was produced by A24 and had Ralph Fienes in the lead this would probably be rated at 6.4 at least.

Like I say go into this with low expectations and you will have a great time.

This movie, in the career of Liam Neeson, is nearly a cliché, a pleonasm. For his age, he has done far far worse since a decade now. He is good in this story which can remind some movies from the seventies. This scheme of an aging hitman or gangster or cop, a character who lives his last moments on this earth, this scheme is not new, it has been told hundreds of times before, but this diminishes nothing to the efficiency of this movie. Liam Neeson is poignant here, no problem. Me, I like this movie, this kind of story. Liam Neeson have made and will make more films like this one in the future. He has no more choice.... This plot and main character reminds me Craig Fairbrass in THE VILLAIN (2020).

Most people going to see this film will be disappointed. It is a somber story how cognitive decline takes hold. And with condition like that there's no chance for a happy ending.

Acting was in my opinion good and made it realistic how it's when you can't trust your memory.

So if avarage viewer is expecting visual hollywood fluff with clear morals they will not find it from here. There's no heroes, morals or righteous characters; everything is on a gray scale rather then having good and bad.

And due to confusion setting in to the main character it's hard to see him as a good guy either. He's chosen his path and working for 'bad guys' all his life. Not much to redeem there.
