you're watching Beyond The Trailer's review of a walk among the tombstones

I never laid a hand on her...

The other two, they're the ones you gotta worry about...

They were obsessed!

these guys are monsters, non-human

How can I find them?

Yes it does seem that Liam Neeson's very particular set of skills include

threatening criminals over the phone

and to somehow not run this new formula his into the ground

taken came out in 2009 and he's still going strong

nonstop which cost just $50 million to make pulled in almost 200 million

worldwide and that's just in theaters

in fact he's pretty much created a whole genre with Pierce Brosnan and denzel

washington following suit

although I'm pretty sure denzel actually did this first with films like Man on

Fire years before Taken hit theaters

anyway Neeson also impressively capitalize on his new image by

lampooning it in the lego movie with great success

have you seen him record the dialogue? he doesn't all in one take

jumping between bad cop and good cop live! so we all know that Neeson is in good

shape so let's focus on someone who's hoping a little Neeson magic will rub

off on him

and that's Downton Abbey's dan Stevens or Dana Stevens as he is currently

listed on Box Office Mojo - Ouch

back when Stevens originally left the smash hit British TV show

ruining Christmas for many fans to boot as his final episode was the Christmas

special

it seemed the height idiocy but now?

well first he joined the Hollywood protection program losing so much weight

he's almost unrecognizable

and after slumming it in movies like vamps and the fifth estate

now he's making ladies swoon san shirt over in indie horror flick the guest

appearing here opposite liam neeson in a walk among the tombstones then opposite

Adam Sandler in the Cobbler

opposite Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum 3 and

also joins the ensemble cast in rorschach's directorial debut criminal activities

with john travolta and boardwalk Empire's Michael Pitt

looks like Matthew Crawley is not the only one who can charm his way into the

upper-class. outside its casting a walk among the tombstone seems to be pretty

by the numbers

another popular crime series this time written by Lawrence Block

which Hollywood is hoping to turn into a franchise all Alex Cross or

Jack Reacher and it's directed by Scott Frank made some waves with the lookout

in 2007

yet mostly finds himself one of several writers credited to big blockbusters like

Minority Report, Marley and Me and the Wolverine

so will this will be remembered as helping to put dan Stevens on the

hollywood map

just another Liam Neeson movie or maybe the first of many movies about Matthew

Scudder

mysterious private investigator this is a really impressive

thriller but it also happens to be wanna most disturbing films

I've ever seen and I can't really make up my mind as to whether or not

it's constructed to remind people the even like this

does exist in the world orkut irresponsible

to potentially encourage such behavior but I do know that night I saw this film

after I

I went home I couldn't go to sleep I was so haunted

by what I saw and I have to say this is one of the few times I think being a

female moviegoer

didn't give me a different experience in a male viewer

might happen that's because the intense violence towards women

she in this movie but that's not to say it goes over the top

or its sensationalized this is

very real violence which is what makes it so horrify

this explores those are you know really demented individuals out there

who just see women as meet and then really do exist

I were the things that our contributors my not being able to sleep

was the reminder that this kind even was real because after I saw the movie I

went over to CNN dot com

and there was an article about a couple a man and a woman

who jumped another woman a prisoner in a cage for two months

as a dog slash sex slaves and then of course I recall

very differently when I was little my mother told me about another story

about a woman abducted into a van in broad daylight

in a busy street Manhattan and not a single person

trying to save her and that's the kind of violence that's the kind of

horrifying real Avensis explored in this movie

goes there goes there convincingly I

deeply and you just need to be prepared to go there with it

if you're going to watch this movie and if you do you watch this movie

it really is one of the best movies Liam Neeson has ever made and it's not just

another Liam Neeson movie he's very good and the rule

he changes just not just his accent his clothes his demeanor

just enough for it to seem fraction it is fresh

he's very good and as I said it was the best Liam Neeson movies I've ever seen

he's made some very good movies now ass report dan Stevens

I don't break he's not very good I think that once the novelty you have different

he looks wears off

you realize he's just miscast I in the role that he has here

but he doesn't get the movies way it's a it's an ensemble piece

and even though Liam Neeson stands out and there's one other person who stands

actually get to in a moment

but the point i'm trying to say is that I even the supporting cast

really does a great job everyone of its the place perfectly

to create as I said really solid nifty little thriller

now the other standout believe it or not and even though he was in this movie

because he's not in the trailers

is Astro for X Factor he's also up

african-american boy in earth to echo and you know I question the acting over

north to echo and

it was that young actors falters scripts fault and it must have been the scripts

p

or at least an Astros case because he's so good here he plays

the kids psychic any actually manages to make a cute psychic endearing and fun to

have around instead of annoyed

and we frequently goers now that is tough to do I actually liked hanging

around

look forward to having him come back so I hope they actually do make more

these films and I would like to see Liam Neeson Astra

team up for the long run I think that's actually a really good do look for the

silver screen

I also have to get a shot up to writer director Scott brick message directed

very much

but that makes it all the more impressive what a good job he does here

on this film has a very strong visual voice without again

getting in the way the actual story and also some really impressive shots

this reminds me a really great Greece seventy

sa thriller not the French Connection et cetera

I just think the whole film as I say really just clicks into place and I

really enjoyed it so

I'm warning you as to the subject matter I

and what's going to be shown on screen and its terrifying film

in the climax many times during the movie particularly big climax

I couldn't I couldn't even look at the screen are so scared

but it's good it's not a cheat never cheap scare and it's never

on objectification of women this this is real

so enjoy the phone he decide to go to decide to go I think you will enjoy it

and be careful out there alright thanks for watching
