Matt Scudder (Liam Neeson), formerly part of the NYPD, now works as an unlicensed private detective. His latest client is a drug trafficker (Dan Stevens) whose wife was kidnapped and brutally murdered, and as Scudder delves deeper, he finds that the crime's sequence is the modus operandi of the perpetrators. Before they can strike again and destroy other lives, Scudder races through the back streets of New York to catch the killers, blurring the lines between lawful and criminal as he goes.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A Walk Among the Tombstones doesn't entirely transcend its genre clichés, but it does offer Liam Neeson one of his more compelling roles in recent memory, and that's often enough.

Kate Erbland

Film.com

Frank's film is much more of a noir outing than a straight action feature, and Neeson slips right into the tone and feel of the hard-boiled detective offering.

Rated: 8.1/10

Entertainment Weekly

As a throwback to a type of nasty, ugly crime film of yesteryear, A Walk Among the Tombstones cleans up.

TheWrap

As nauseating as the film's inventive sadisms can be, Frank succeeds far more in the details than in the larger picture that tries to relate this world to ours.

Deep Focus Review

It's an appealing, engaging, and solidly assembled picture with style to spare, and here's hoping it's not the last time Frank and Neeson bring Scudder to the screen.

Rated: 3/4

What makes A Walk Among the Tombstones so satisfying is the script and direction of Scott Frank.

NME (New Musical Express)

David Harbour's villain really is a nasty piece of work with a twisted line in torture.

Dave V I don't know what movie people were watching, but this is a great movie. The suspense is good and the acting is good. It has a great ploy and kept my interest. I thought it was awesome!! What's wrong with people. If you like Liam you will love this movie. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Cork B Better than some of Liam's recent flicks, and definitely had that gritty city cop vibe with the string music to ramp up the intensity. On the down side, there are these side plots that are meaningless to the story - like the teenager he... uh.. 'mentors', although maybe the better term is 'endangers', to the druggie brother and the sobriety circle. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Ben Chow S "Work smart and not hard" that's these scammers' slogan. They lure you with promises of luxury and lifetime riches without you doing anything besides investing in their investment schemes, and if you ever fall prey, they will siphon you of every penny dry. I know how they operate because I am a victim that is why I am writing this review. I know many like me are about to or have fallen into this sad ordeal, I pray you come across this post. I was a victim, and I lost all my life savings to this fraud act. I got help recovering all I had invested with these scammers after a frivolous battle with them because these scammers did everything possible to twat the efforts of CYBER GENIE HACK PRO from recovering my stolen money, that's the recovery expert I hired after losing my investment to scammers.

However, the movie is too brutal and senseless for my liking. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Jim M An under rated Liam Neeson kidnap thriller. Very engaging and Worth a watch Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Cinephemeride [ typical film of what Liam Neeson has been doing for several years but this time a little darker. Good thriller although the scenario is not very surprising Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
