Blacklight (2022)
4/10
Endless car chases, shoot-em-ups, five-against-one fist fights try to disguise lack of a viable plot.
6 December 2022
OK, a political candidate who is apparently dangerous to the powers that be gets offed in the first two minutes of the film. (That's not a spoiler.)

What happens next is an endless series of drawn-out car chases, shoot-em-ups, five-against-one fist fights, and constant endless running from the law.

That's not a plot. Liam Neeson plays a G-man fixer with severe OCD. That's not a plot either. Neeson's daughter and granddaughter are affected by his OCD. That's not a plot either.

In short, more than halfway through this film there is no plot beyond what was covered in the first five minutes.

I'll pass.
