Like the bear drawn inexorably to the forest, stopping along the way to punch another bear in the throat, Liam Neeson has signed on to star in a Liam Neeson movie, that burgeoning genre in which a man is pushed to violent means to protect his family—the natural habitat of Liam Neeson. Warner Bros. has inserted Liam Neeson into the readymade Liam Neeson thriller Run All Night, its title indicative of both the plotline, in which a mob hitman has a single night to save his loved ones from his former boss, and Neeson’s own desperate sprint to the finish line that is his late-career resurrection as America’s action dad. Fittingly, Deadline reports that Liam Neeson’s Unknown director Jaume Collett-Sera is in talks to help make this Liam Neeson movie the most thoroughly Liam Neeson movie it can be. "In this scene, you are Liam Neeson," he'll say. "You do what Liam Neeson would do."
