A Liam Neeson action-thriller where he demonstrates his particular set of skills yet again tops the DVD releases for the week of May 3.
"Blacklight": Neeson stars as Travis Block, a shadowy government operative who does clean up work for the FBI, getting agents that are deep undercover out of sticky situations.
"Director Mark Williams (the 2020 Neeson thriller 'Honest Thief'), who also co-wrote the script, pays lip service to our current political climate with references to 'the millennial soapbox crowd' and 'gotcha moments on Twitter,' but it's basically the same Neeson in slightly different clothing," writes Detroit News critic Adam Graham in his review. "It's been 14 years since 'Taken' sent the actor into pure action movie mode, and while occasionally something interesting slips through the cracks ('Cold Pursuit,' 'Run All Night'), this one fades from memory pretty quickly. Hopefully the next one is better."
