Liam Neeson in Blacklight (2022)
Trust, identity, and the danger of unchecked power push a covert operative to the edge in director Mark Williams' intense action thriller Blacklight. Travis Block (Neeson) lives and fights in the shadows. A freelance government "fixer", Block is a dangerous man whose assignments have included extracting agents out of deep-cover situations. When Block discovers a shadowy program called Operation Unity is striking down ordinary citizens for reasons known only to Block's boss, FBI chief Robinson (Quinn), he enlists the help of a journalist (Raver-Lampman), but his past and present collide when his daughter and granddaughter are threatened. Now Block needs to rescue the people he loves and expose the truth for a shot at redemption. Nothing and no one is safe when secrets are hidden in Blacklight.

    5/10
    as exciting as water soup
    Pretty weak. 5 of 10, I can think of 5 taken jokes.

    This movie is a milli-Taken.

    I found myself Taken a nap.

    The only thing remotely Taken was my 9 bucks.

    I wish I'd have Taken a 5-hr energy.

    All the scenes only needed 1 Take.

    At least Cold Pursuit was funny.

    On the plus side - the theater was warmer than my car outside.
