Since his starring role in 2008’s Taken, Liam Neeson has embarked on a
somewhat unexpected career turn, carving out a place for himself as an action
star with roles in the likes of The
A-Team, Non-Stop and Run All Night. However, it seems he’s
now ready to call it a day.
Speaking to Sky News at the Toronto International
Film Festival, Neeson has revealed that he’s ready to retire from action films,
stating that: “They’re still throwing serious money at me to do that
stuff. I’m like: ‘Guy’s I’m sixty-fucking-five.’ Audiences are eventually
going to go: ‘Come on.'”
Fans of Neeson’s action films do have two more
movies to look forward to however, as he reunites with Jaume Collet-Serra for The Commuter [watch the trailer here], and takes on the role
of a snow plow driver out for revenge against drug dealers responsible for the
death of his son in Hard Powder.
