Liam Neeson Is Back in Action in Trailer for His New Thriller THE MARKSMAN
OpenRoad has released the first trailer for Liam Neeson’s upcoming action thriller The Marksman. Yep! Neeson is back in action and is once again kicking ass to protect a kid who is being hunted down by a Mexican drug cartel. This film checks all the boxes for a Liam Neeson action movie. Sometimes it’s just nice to sit back, relax, and watch Liam Neeson do his thing.
Here’s the synopsis:
Hardened Arizona rancher Jim Hanson (Liam Neeson) simply wants to be left alone as he fends off eviction notices and tries to make a living on an isolated stretch of borderland. But everything changes when Hanson, an ex-Marine sharpshooter, witnesses 11-year-old migrant Miguel (Jacob Perez) fleeing with his mother Rosa (Teresa Ruiz) from drug cartel assassins led by the ruthless Mauricio (Juan Pablo Raba). After being caught in a shoot-out, a dying Rosa begs Jim to take her son to safety to her family in Chicago. Defying his cop daughter Sarah (Katheryn Winnick), Jim sneaks Miguel out of the local U.S. Customs and Border Patrol station and together, they hit the road with the group of killers in pursuit. Jim and Miguel slowly begin to overcome their differences and begin to forge an unlikely friendship, while Mauricio and his fellow assassins blaze a cold-blooded trail, hot on their heels. When they finally meet on a Midwestern farm, a fight to the death ensues as Jim uses his military skills and code of honor to defend the boy he’s come to love.
The film was directed by Robert Lorenz from a script he wrote with Chris Charles and Danny Kravitz. It also stars Jacob Perez, Teresa Ruiz, and Juan Pablo Raba.
The Marksman opens in theaters on January 22.
