Just saw “A Walk Among the Tombstones”

Not quite as deep as the trailer implied but this film is morbid and thrilling.

This movie is basically what would happen if “Silence of the Lambs” was more action oriented. It maybe harder to sympathies with the main character since Liam Neeson can act as if he could take down a dozen Buffalo Bills but his character has his own past and demons to be redeemed from. The movie seems to have a theme about misplaced fears since the film is set in 1999 with the Y2K scare but it never gets a relevant conclusion. The movie does remotely appeal to God as a source of strength and it is always awesome have Neeson be the outlet of that strength.

Its not the best movie but its always great to watch a fallen hero find some kind of redemption and evil get what’s due.
