A Walk Among the Tombstones: Liam Neeson Monsters & Heroes (Review/Trailer)

Liam Neeson in A Walk Among the Tombstones portrays a man who has gone beyond the edge and returned, one who knows all about monsters and heroes. The film works hard to depict society’s underbelly and its denizens in a realistic light while showing what real horrors walk our streets and threaten even the worst of us. Based on the book of the same name penned by author Lawrence Block, the film’s protagonist is Matt Scudder an ex-cop, alcoholic and a man who distrusts modern technology. He is also the main character in 17 books written by Block.
