As with most good mysteries, this crime proves to be only the tip of the iceberg as far as the investigation is concerned. As laid out by director Scott Frank, the film’s center is solid and smart, while the villains prove to be the sort that audiences love to hate. While the movie threatens to overstay its welcome, Neeson’s strong, steady presence holds it all together.
