I’m surprised it took as long as it did for Liam Neeson to break out into the “old grizzled action hero” phase of his career. It all started with TAKEN, which almost went direct-to-DVD before Fox took a chance and it wound up grossing over $100 million. Then came THE A-TEAM and now Neeson is back kicking ass in exotic locales in the upcoming thriller UNKNOWN.
In the film he stars as a doctor who awakens in Berlin to find out his wife has no idea who he is and another man has assumed his identity (“take my wife…please!”). It should be noted that he’s a doctor who can kick some serious ass and drive the f*ck out of a car. This is all evidenced in a brand new clip from the film that features Neeson and co-star Diane Kruger on the run from a mysterious SUV and a bunch of beer kegs.
