Featured reviews
Liam Neeson's talent is wasted here. The story points are so predictable, with some being stupid. For someone who is alert to his surroundings (the hero lives on a border town), Liam's character never gave a thought as to how the bad guys keep ending up where they are. And to burn the cartel money while still basically on the run and the hero not having much money (he hasn't paid his mortgage for 6 months)!!?... Plain loco moves.
This film was just ok . It did drag on a bit and could have been shorter . Liam Neeson seems to play the same sort of character in all his action films . The film has its moments but is more drama than action .
The main villain is very good in his role .
Watchable film but nothing amazing .
Good storyline... Liam Neeson was good. I just expected more than the movie delivered... the SUV rollover scene was ordinary at best....
Good undertone of a message about choosing our own way in life.
Enjoyable but in the end, sad film. Liam has a role where he can act his age, which is a plus (no sex with hot women half his age). You care about the characters. Sure, it is a bit contrived, but you need to have a story. But it has a bittersweet ending.
Perhaps some people expect a fast action movie from Liam Neeson, but The Marksman is a slower and touchy story with enough tension and violence to satisfy many viewers. A star rating of 7 is justified.
