The Marksman is a 2021 American action thriller film directed by Robert Lorenz. The film was theatrically released in the United States on January 15, 2021, by Open Road Films and Briarcliff Entertainment. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Neeson's performance.

If you look at the dispersion in the ratings between the critics and users you have to ask yourself WTF?. Well for me I NEVER miss a Liam Neeson film no matter what and for me he is why the users rated it so high.

It’s not Oscar material but at least it is a thrilling ride. If you’ve seen earlier movies like Logan and recently News of the World. You’ll understand what I’m talking about. Actors delivered a good performance especially the kid who was very endearing.

It’s a really good film (once you get past the political undertones) somewhat predictable, but not really, outcome and lots of Neeson action - be sure and watch the trailer above!
