The Rookie: True Crime (2021) Season 3, Episode 7

Fun twist on a favorite

[9/10 · 2 March 2021]

With COVID, shows have had to get creative, this was one of the ways The Rookie has done it. With everyone obsessed with "murder shows," (see this week's SNL) this was a very Rookie way of playing into it.

Additionally, the cameoss are perfect, especially loved Rainn and a pic of Ryan - they have both co-starred with Nathan.

Watch this for Liam Neeson's performance

[8/10 · 19 November 1999]

Liam Neeson is astounding. The rest of the cast is very good as well. Though poor Joan Allen has the misfortune of being required to grate on the nerves. Tate Donovan was a nice find as well, as the new preacher in town, I think I enjoyed him more here than in any other film in which I've seen him.

Back, however, to Neeson. From the opening moments when you see him trudging through the snow to the sexual energy he exudes without showing skin to the final moments of deep pain and confusion, he is is phenomenal. He is THE reason to see this film.

It could have been that I was home ill (ironic when you consider the plot) when I saw the film, but I'm not so sure the pace wasn't a little below the speed necessary for people to get truly wrapped into the story and characters. Yet, I stuck through the whole thing, because I was transfixed by Neeson's performance.

He is one of the greats! I always feel warmed after watching him perform.
