The Naked Gun (2025) – Liam Neeson flexes his comedic muscle and deadpan humor in this uproarious crowd-pleaser 

The reboot of the slapstick comedy franchise has long been in the works. Apparently, the franchise’s original creators, Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker, even wrote a script back in 2018 that’s meant to be a spoof of the Bourne and Mission: Impossible franchise.

FlixChatter Review: Run All Night (2015)

Liam Neeson has struck gold with TAKEN and he’s been doing the same kind of movie since. It could be that he’s now being typecast or that he prefers the big paychecks; I’m thinking it’s a little bit of both. Whatever the case, he’s great as the action hero who can take down countless baddies …
