The release of a new action-thriller movie starring Liam Neeson is hardly front-page news. The veteran Irish actor has made a late-career habit of featuring in movies about hitmen, mobsters and criminal enforcers. However, “In the Land of Saints and Sinners” is a little more interesting than Neeson’s usual fair and stands out among its numerous contemporaries for all the right reasons.
After a limited theatrical release last March (and a Netflix release in the U.K. and Ireland in April 2024), “In the Land of Saints and Sinners” has made its way over to Amazon Prime Video, and is finally finding a much-deserved audience. The action-thriller has claimed a spot in the streaming service’s top 10 most-watched list, and while its odds of dethroning current No. 1 pick “The Fall Guy” appear slim, I’m just happy to see more people watching this flick.
