Blacklight is a film Sky Original starring Liam Neeson, released on Sky and NOW (where it is available in streaming) and reissued on TV8 on Wednesday 17 December. It was written by Nick May and Mark Williams. The action movie – which after Honest Thief sees Neeson as the protagonist of a Sky Original film – is directed by Mark Williams, and seems to have come from a time ago when action films did not need to be beautiful or intelligent.
La trama di Blacklight
Travis Block does a job that doesn’t exist. Tied personally to the head of the FBI, he was recruited to recover the undercover agents who move away from the right life, which are in danger situations, which are giving signs of rebellion. Silent and determined, he takes them and sends them to healthy and safe rehabilitation and without danger to the agency.
One day, however, a specific story involving the internal politics of the United States and a young agent from him very esteemed makes him understand that there is something wrong. His boss, in fact, secreted a dark program called Operation Unity. His past and present collide when being threatened is his daughter and his nephew.
La recensione
Liam Neeson can’t stop playing the role of highly professional tirapiedi that you don’t ask questions and then start asking questions. Liam Neeson cannot interpret a happy man, not even now that he is seventy years old. Your family must always be at risk. Liam Neeson is the victim of a curse and it’s up to us to save him.
Except for the jokes. The action genre has proved in recent years to be struggling with new themes, new modes, new archetypes. This film, which is 2022 but looks like 2016, ignores any progress and is beautifully safe in the territory you know. The territory you know is that of the mediocre action movie that is sent on Network 4 on Saturday afternoon at 15:30. He looks bad, but he does. Blacklight has nothing to say from any point of view, the scenes of chases and various fights are mortally boring, the twists of scene are not twists and do not have the effect of twists. It is a lazy story written in a lazy and lazy manner. If you want a funny but not challenging action movie, there are a million in circulation. Two random examples for different and varied palates: The gray man and The Princess.
