Synopsis

A rancher on the Arizona border becomes the unlikely defender of a young Mexican boy desperately fleeing the cartel assassins who’ve pursued him into the U.S.

Critics' reviews

"The movie displays the measured pacing and tautness marking many of Eastwood's films, and Neeson delivers an Eastwood-style performance while also revealing an emotional vulnerability that proves fully relatable"

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"Robert Lorenz, stages the action with a convincing ebb and flow, but thanks to an undercooked script what happens in between is mostly boilerplate."

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"You’ve seen an armed, angry Neeson in countless films more interesting than this one"

Alonso Duralde: The Wrap
"'A movie that tries to thread the needle between John Wick and 'The Mule' (...) The Marksman' is too enamored with its low-rent January aesthetics to make any detours towards depth."

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"If one were to diagnose a central problem with The Marksman, it’s that it isn’t actually a Clint Eastwood movie"

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky: AV Club
"It’s a simplistic, closed-loop moral universe in which the major plot thread is tied up too neatly and others are pretty much forgotten"

Michael Ordoña: Los Angeles Times
"It lacks vitality or distinction enough to set it above other Liam Neeson action films (...) It is the kind of film you watch on accident more than seek out, but you probably won’t regret the accident."
