After one generic action movie after another, Liam Neeson stars in a different kind of movie.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed the former, this movie was a pleasant surprise for me for two reasons: first, it's a slower paced movie that's more of a drama than an action thriller. Secondly (and most importantly), there is no clear line between good and evil. Most of the characters can be seen as both saints and sinners in their own way.
I also liked the actors (besides Liam Neeson, especially Ciarán Hinds), the score and the landscape shots.
If you like Liam Neeson's earlier action movies but want to see something different with him in the lead role, you should watch this movie!
