Recently, Liam Neeson—who is 72 years old—has said that it’s time for him to step away from the world of action films. So, we should probably consider “Absolution” one of the last of its kind.
As seen in the trailer for “Absolution,” the film stars Neeson as a man who works as muscle for a crime boss. However, when he is faced with troubling medical news, he attempts to leave the world of crime behind so that he can reconnect with his young grandson. But wouldn’t you know it, the criminal underbelly isn’t done with him yet.
