Review:   Liam Neeson cranes in the same courage and determination that made for her role in Taken, but this film seems to be a distant cousin of the former. Tombstones follows a model that is possible to recognize some of the recent work of Neeson, but there are many aspects that make this film well very refreshing with some interesting twists. To begin, shots were fired. Indeed, the Scudder preferred using a firearm as a last resort.

The aging Scudder still use phones and not the novel is based gadgets. The history of (Stevens) Kristo Kenny abduction and murder of his wife case Scudder committed. Although research in a library, Scudder befriends a homeless child TJ (Bradley) who reluctantly accepts as an assistant during their investigation. We also learn how Scudder let the police and alcohol after a match against one leads to the death of an innocent girl bar.

What is worse when it is removed another girl much younger. The film takes place in a more complex management but nuanced. Gray and brown visuals are used to have morally ambiguous choices Scudder find and arrest the perpetrators pervert Albert (Thompson) and Ray (Puerto) means. These streets are mean and the overall tone is the no-nonsense and even disturbing at a time. Yet the character of inherently strong Neeson, friendly and even ironically funny sometimes. In fact, most of the main characters of fleshy. Except, curiously, the poor seem random and Scudder seems a psychological advantage over them almost too easy. However, the film is a classic Liam Neeson and like any good thriller, held in suspense until the end.
