A former agent rebels against his employers when he discovers that they exploited him.
Liam Neeson finds a role of vindicators in “Backlight”.
He wants to interpret the fight scenes himself.
Between Liam Neeson and action cinema, it's a great love story.
Mark Williams' Blacklight
confirms this reciprocal affection by offering the 60-year-old actor a new role as vindicators.
This time he declares war on a secret department of the FBI which has betrayed him and is attacking his family (a very bad idea when you have seen the actor's previous films).
Since
Taken
(2008), the Irish comedian has made a specialty of embodying revengeful fighting fans that his massive figure, his natural phlegm and his talent for martial arts make very effective.
Very dynamic fights prove that Liam Neeson is still in Olympic form at almost 70 years old spring which he will celebrate next June.
"I do not see myself retiring for the moment because I am always offered exciting roles and I prefer action to inaction," he confides to
20 Minutes
.
No stunts, fights
But don't tell Liam Neeson that he does his own stunts.
“Stunts are when you jump out of a window, for example, and for this kind of thing, there are professional stuntmen!
I don't do this type of practice because I'm not Tom Cruise.
Me, what interests me are the fights because I like to fight, but only in the cinema.
Fight director Mark Wanselow has been a regular collaborator with the comedian for several years.
“We rehearse and we rehearse to achieve such fluidity that the viewer has the impression that we are playing the scene for the first time while everything is choreographed to the millimeter”, says the actor.
If the political subtext of the film does not lack interest in denouncing villainous acts, the fight largely takes precedence in this film signed by Mark Williams who had already directed Liam Neeson in
The Good Criminal
and
The Veteran.
"Shooting with innovative techniques, such as the LED Light Wall and a video game engine that allows you to place yourself in virtual sets, has allowed us to reinforce our efficiency in complete safety", recognizes Liam Neeson.
Blacklight
does not revolutionize the action thriller, but its nervousness allows it to fulfill its contract of entertainment rich in adrenaline rushes.
