Neeson seems permanently stuck in "vigilante" mode since the "Taken" franchise. Protecting his family from the bad guys, etc., etc. *yawn*

This movie gets particularly bad reviews so have given it a miss. Like many other actors (Willis, DeNiro, Gibson etc) Neeson has chosen to take any old crap he's given, just for the bucks.

Would be hard to turn down $1M , especially when you're 71 and no longer on A list to be called.

 

Who would turn down that kind of money if offered, and wanting to work, or simply wanting new toys, or to give it away to needy.  Who knows what he does with his money.

 

Excellent career and part of some amazing movies and box office earnings.  Lately, good for time killing, and better than a lot of the other crap offered up.
