A Walk Among the Tombstones Reviews
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.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 25, 2022
What makes A Walk Among the Tombstones so satisfying is the script and direction of Scott Frank.

David Harbour's villain really is a nasty piece of work with a twisted line in torture.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 26, 2021
Neeson brings his usual action-man gravitas, but tempers it with a little humour and more old school police work than he does in the Taken movies.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 1, 2021
Ghastly, gritty, and more mystery-thriller than rapid-fire actioner.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 4, 2020
This slow-burning mystery draws you in with wit, grit and gravitas.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 30, 2020
This is a fantastic and gritty thriller, and it's definitely a full-on slow burn...a mystery thriller in the classic, film noir sense.

Matt Scudder is a classic noir character ... Liam Neeson wears him like a second skin, exuding a lethargy that makes Scudder more interesting than he probably has the right to be
| Original Score: B | Jul 17, 2020
A Walk Among the Tombstones carries its B-movie thrills with aplomb.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2019
It boasts an ensemble of strong and well-written characters brought to life by Neeson and his co-stars.

I recommend it for anyone who wants a good thriller. Or, anyone who wants to learn how to kill a man three ways with one hand. Take your pick.

Neeson's presence is enough to keep it from jumping the rails. He's really good here, playing a character I wouldn't mind revisiting in another film.
| Original Score: B- | Jan 25, 2019
The movie works on a basic level, but it doesn't fulfill the ambitions it seems to have.
| Original Score: B- | Jan 11, 2019
Lawrence Block's novel [adaptation] is the most layered and poetic journey for Neeson's tough-guy persona yet, too bad some rough spots have to be there to trip his steps.

A quieter and dialed back version of action star Liam Neeson makes for a captivating counterpart to a pair of senseless murders
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2017
The movie is classic Liam Neeson and like any good thriller, keeps you guessing till the end.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 14, 2017
But unlike so many of its genre, "Tombstones" has a sobering darkness that doesn't dance on their graves.
| Aug 30, 2017
There are nice moments of humour and the nostalgic 1990s feel, the change in technology and the shadow of Y2K works well even if it makes some of us feel our age.
| Jun 1, 2016
Audiences are likely to oscillate wildly between boredom and repulsion, with only Neeson enthusiasts finding anything to embrace.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 17, 2016
A brooding, sharp and skillfully crafted, character-focused detective story.
