It's written and directed by Scott Frank, an ace scripter (
Get Shorty,
Minority Report,
Out of Sight) whose debut effort as a multihyphenate,
The Lookout, quite impressed me. And it's got Liam Neeson doing his moody badass thing -- which can be a lot of fun -- as novelist
Lawrence Block's tarnished antihero, alcoholic ex-cop Matthew Scudder. A safe bet: Fans of the Block books likely will enjoy
A Walk Among the Tombstones a lot more than the only other previous movie adaptation of a Scudder story, Hal Ashby's
critically mauled 1986 thriller
8 Million Ways to Die.
Here's the trailer:
