‘Absolution’ Review: Liam Neeson Is An Aging Gangster With Unfinished Business


In 'Absolution', premiering Nov. 1 in theaters, Liam Neeson plays an aging gangster who tries to make things right before it's too late.

The film also stars Yolonda Ross, Daniel Diemer, Javier Molina, Jimmy Gonzales, Josh Drennen, Deanna Nayr Tarraza and Terrence Pulliam. And although there’s a couple of shootout scenes — including one that somehow draws no attention from three surrounding Boston skyscrapers in the middle of the day — there feels like too little action and too little heart for a movie with a 122-minute runtime. Cast: Liam Neeson, Yolonda Ross, Frankie Shaw, Daniel Diemer, Javier Molina, Jimmy Gonzales, Josh Drennen, Deanna Nayr Tarraza, Terrence Pulliam and Ron Perlman
