Run All Night is a satisfying tale of revenge and regret, with carefully crafted characters, and thrilling action.
| Original Score: B+ | Apr 17, 2015
If you appreciate this kind of guff, then Run All Night, despite its slow spots, is a fairly good yarn.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2015
...often calls to mind the stripped-down machismo of Walter Hill's earlier films, full of growling men and growing menace.

In the main, Jaume Collet-Serra is making a character-driven drama about betrayed honor, and the result is a film closer in spirit to the baggage-rich crime novels of Dennis Lehane than dumb multiplex fare.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2015
For the most part ... it's a film about Neeson punching and shooting people while looking a bit bedraggled and a touch hungover.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 16, 2015
There are more phones than female characters, who spend the movie comatose in hospital beds, fretting silently in the background or being hugged through a doorway
| Original Score: C | Mar 13, 2015
With all due respect for Harris's ability to overact even while underacting, and given the hour-plus of citywide demolition, the stakes for the action here are awfully low.

The talking point today will be about how Run All Night is one of many Neeson action movies, but what will be remembered years later is that it's one of the best.

The third collaboration between Neeson and Spanish director Jaume Collet-Serra is made almost endurable by excellent acting from Neeson (his wounded eyes are hypnotic) along with Ed Harris, as Jimmy's mercurial boss Shawn.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 13, 2015
While this particular bandwagon is fast running out of road, Run All Night shows there's mileage in it yet.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 13, 2015
An admirable cat-and-mouse tale that puts forth a lot of clichs and executes them with B-movie intensity.
| Original Score: B- | Mar 13, 2015
"Run All Night" is proof that quality action films don't really need to reinvent the wheel each time out as long as they make it spin this smoothly.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 13, 2015
Run All Night isn't dull. The pace is breakneck, and necks get broken. But the violence is relentless, ugly, unredeemed by any real humanity.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 13, 2015
There is rather more of it than is strictly necessary, but Run All Night will do well enough for a shoulder-season screen holder.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 13, 2015
Collet-Serra (Non-Stop and Unknown), lavishes the story with whooshing aerial cameras and shadowy rat-warren interiors.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 12, 2015
Another week, another snarling slab of Neesonalia. This one is a superior sample.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2015
The movie is the cinematic equivalent of junk food. It satisfies the craving for the sensation of nihilism, without its substance.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 12, 2015
Directed, frantically, by Jaume Collet-Serra, written by Brad Ingelsby, "Run All Night" promises a sprint punctuated by a lot of gunfire, and bleeding, and bodies. Mission accomplished.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 12, 2015
The sheer perversity of Neeson's thrillers is a big part of their delight.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 12, 2015
It's not only the strength of the acting that pulls us over bumps in the narrative, it's the crisp, streamlined direction of Spanish filmmaker Jaume Collet-Serra, who also directed Neeson in the improbable "Non-Stop."
