A Walk Among the Tombstones

People are afraid of all the wrong things.


A Walk Among the Tombstones
Based on a novel in the series by Lawrence Block, our hero is an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed private investigator. When he reluctantly agrees to help a heroin trafficker hunt down the men who kidnapped and then brutally murdered his wife, he learns that this is not the first time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime, and nor will it be the last. Blurring the lines between right and wrong, he races to track the deviants through the backstreets of New York City before they kill again, making use of assorted 'interesting' characters along the way.

Tomatometer quote iconA Walk Among the Tombstones doesn't entirely transcend its genre clichés, but it does offer Liam Neeson one of his more compelling roles in recent memory, and that's often enough.
