I love Liam Nesson he works in action films great I enjoyed Taken 1-3, Unknown, The Grey, A Walk Among the Tombstones, Non-Stop, Run All Night, The Commuter, Cold Pursuit, Honest Thief now with this film it's less action in trailer it shows more action then to actual film not kidding at all, it's more in trailer and Less in actual film with less action film and more of a bland, road-trip style drama style on run. and yeah story is same topical thing Jim (Liam Nesson) A previous member of the Marine Corp Jim struggles with alcohol, and is unapologetically atheist, which I found interesting for a character in a

mainstream film, a Marksman expert. he was just driving aheading home and suddenly he found a boy Miguel and his mother Rosa, were on run after her brother told her to get out of dodge, one of cartels are after them because they know where the money is hidden, Rosa dies she tells Jim to take her son to Chicago to be safe Jim expected her offer he does it he accept it now he is on run to take Miguel and product him and take him to Chicago. they are on run to get away from cartels that wants Miguel. that's topical film as olden days now if you watch trailer and think oh it's action film full on 1 hour and 48 minutes well it's not, it has less action more of drama sadly I wished this film to be better I wanted what I wanted movie to be more action but trailer has more action then to actual film, that's what begged me for threw out film. I enjoyed Liam Nesson and kid Miguel Their scenes together were quite touching and they got to know each other the chemistry between those 2 were good. The script is good not greatest script but script is fine nothing is bad what I

notice. it's worth checking out if you love Liam Nesson in action or drama films this is worth it but when you watch it don't follow my opinion, make up your own mind if you like film, I liked it but at end of day it's time waster film not something I would want to watch everytime this film could been a Netflix film not an cinema release that's what I really wish for because it's not full on fun action it's drama-thriller bland film it's not bad film to watch I thought it was enjoyable for Liam Nesson and for film, when you see trailer don't expect for full on action like Taken and such it's more of thriller-drama their is action couple of scenes but not much until at 3rd act of film at final moment their is action scene that's it don't expect this to be action film.
