Liam Neeson is planning to quit action movies next year because an agonising knee condition makes it painful for him to perform his own stunts.
The Schindler's List star has enjoyed roles in a number of high-octane blockbusters in recent years, including The A-Team, Taken, Clash of the Titans and his latest film, The Grey.
