Handlung
Matthew Scudder ist ein ehemaliger Cop und trockener Alkoholiker. Er verbringt seinen Ruhestand damit, seinen Freunden für Geld Gefälligkeiten zu erweisen. Diese führen ihn oft tief in die Unterwelt von New York. So wird er auch angeheuert, als es im Big Apple zu einer ganzen Reihe von Entführungsfällen kommt, die die Polizei machtlos erscheinen lässt. Zögerlich hilft er dabei auch einem Heroinschmuggler, dessen Frau entführt und bestialisch ermordet wurde. Scudder ist sich nicht zu schade, die Grenzen des Gesetzes zu übertreten, um Gerechtigkeit walten zu lassen und hat als unlizensierter Privatermittler Zugang zu Bereichen, die der Polizei stets verschlossen sind. Während er die Täter dieser schrecklichen Verbrechen jagt, geht er selbst an die Grenze des moralisch Vertretbaren und droht so, selbst zu einem der Monster zu werden, die er eigentlich jagt.

This movie had quite some premise and it is a decent enough movie but, sadly, it never really rises out of the ordinary. We have some really despicable criminals and I mean some real creepy nutcases and we have Liam Neeson as a gritty former cop turned private investigator. Good recipe to start with I would say. Unfortunately it never really took off. Liam Neeson is doing a good job of portraying the former cop and he is pretty much making the picture. The creepy guys are, well creepy but they never really get to shine in their creepiness. Most of the other characters around are just decoration with the possible exception of the young brat whom I personally just found annoying. Speaking of annoying I have to say that the AA sessions and the voice overs from them pretty much falls into that very category. They felt at best like unnecessary fillers to me. I do not know why it is so popular to portray “heroes” as drunks or former drunks. The movie is not a quick paced one. It is more of a thriller than a action one although there are a few outbursts of action. Sometimes it goes quite far down the road of some real detective work and sometimes it just jumps about leaving a few inconsistencies and plot wholes hanging around. I would say that this movie is a fairly ordinary, good but nothing special, crime story about two psychopaths and a gritty former coop given the task of chasing them down. Without Liam Neeson as a lead actor more or less carrying the movie along it would have been a fairly bland movie.

There were people in the film, Liam Neeson hits fewer shots, but the bad guys are more children of their mother
