Despite the fact I liked just about everyone in the cast of this flick, I watched it with little enthusiasm and few laughs. In fact, the only time I ever thought, “hey, that worked” was in the last thirty seconds. … Continue reading
Blacklight is a lesser one of Neeson’s gray-in-the-temple Dad action flicks. It’s not as bad as his worse ones though… but only barely manages to bob around beneath the more almost-there mediocre ones. It certainly tries for more story, at … Continue reading
