Blacklight

Honestly, you can actually see the writer's room in every single scene of this movie. The sad fact is that what you see is a room full of young millennials that have no clue about how life works or how to actually write a movie. What they fill this movie with is a set of rambling leftists views that border on the insane. Maybe this script was crafted by the incompetents working the CNN newsroom in their spare time?

The movie hits its peek at the three minute mark as an AOC clone is run down by an SUV. From there it's a collection of shallow stupidity made by children apparently for children. It's either a sign of writers with a warped understanding of reality or very poor imaginations.

Don't bother with this mess. I don't blame Liam Neeson or the cast. They did the best they could with the crap they were presented. Even the little girl actress was very good surprisingly but they should have let her do some rewrites.

..said no one ever, especially after watching this Blacklight mess. If Neeson wasn't in this film, it'd be another failed B-film, but instead, it's another failed B-film with Neeson in it.

It's cheaply produced, amatuerly directed and lazily written - even if it had 3 writers assigned to coming up with a cohesive story, but instead gave us a plot-hole riddled cliche of every other movie in this genre, taped together. It's labeled as an Action and Thriller. Lame and hardly any action, and certainly not thrilling.

The 104 min runtime felt like 3+ hours with the boring and cliched plot, as well as all the filler and very little substance. This felt more like a Dodge promo video with the ridiculously long and pointless car chases. Clearly director Mark Williams was so bored, Neeson had to keep adjusting his rear view mirror. Williams also failed miserably in directing his cast, because they either looked bored, or had horrible acting skills. Even his slow-mo's and 1980's camera work got annoying fast. Don't even get me started on the terrible editing. Couldn't they cut out the parts where Neeson is out of breath and looks like he needs a hip replacement? I'm thinking Neeson has to stop working with Williams, before he becomes another Bruce Willis has-been, or is it too late? 5/10.

The way the Director of the World's most powerful organization 'goes down' or the way he confesses to his so called Operation, is a big wtf.

I still cannot fathom why they inserted the obsessive compulsive disorder thing n can someone tell me why is the movie named Blacklight?

Generous with a 4 cos of Neeson.

I hope n pray that Liam Neeson doesn't become another Bruce Willis.

It's hard to believe that someone made this story with such a dumb and improbable script. To make things worse, most of the acting is mediocre, except for the two women who played the reporters. And maybe Liam is getting a little old for these types of roles.

When I sat down to watch this 2022 action thriller titled "Blacklight", I must admit that I hadn't heard a single thing about it prior to sitting down to watch it. But I figured that it having Liam Neeson in the leading role was sufficient enough to make it worth my time.

Well, essentially "Blacklight" from writers Nick May, Mark Williams and Brandon Reavis ultimately turned out to be a run-of-the-mill action thriller. Sure, it was watchable, but it was a rather generic and predictable action thriller. But hey, if you enjoy these types of movies then "Blacklight" should be right up your alley.

It is always enjoyable to watch Liam Neeson in movies, and so it was also in "Blacklight". But it would be a shame to say that "Blacklight" is among his top movies, because it just simply isn't. Aside from Liam Neeson, then the movie also had a good performance from Aidan Quinn.

There are far better action thrillers out there, but I will say that "Blacklight" is worth a single viewing, just to tick it off of the to-watch-list, if for nothing else.

Take "Blacklight" for what it is, and you won't be overly disappointed. It was simply a switch off your brain, lean back and munch on the snacks type of movie.

My rating of director Mark Williams's 2022 action thriller lands on a five out of ten stars.
