Blacklight movie review: turn it off
Feels less like a movie than it does a hostage video. Poor Liam Neeson isn’t trying to hide how exhausted and trapped he is in his cinematic hamster wheel of cheap, violent revenge thrillers. It’s sad.

Liam Neeson is in an accident, and all of a sudden his wife January Jones doesn’t know him. I bet she totally wishes she could do that to Don Draper…
Everything that is wrong with The Movies today in America is beautifully encapsulated in how this lovely little movie cannot find an audience in the current movie environment.
Aidan Quinn is in *Flipped* — as a nice, sensitive, artistic dad — and he’s simply delicious…
If Jonah Hex can talk to the dead, then he’s probably the only one (apart from Ned the Pie Man) who could have any meaningful interaction with this movie.
