A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES Trailer Starring Liam Neeson

The new trailer for the upcoming Liam Neeson thriller A Walk Among the Tombstones has been released.  While there looks to be plenty of Neeson ass-kicking, this looks to be more of a procedural than a straight up action film like Taken.  Neeson plays an ex-cop turned private eye who is hired to hunt down a group of sadistic kidnappers and turn them over to a grieving husband (Dan Stevens) before they have a chance to kill again. The film is directed by Scott Frank (The Lookout) and based on a novel by Lawrence Block.

A Walk Among the Tombstones hits theaters September 19th.

Based on Lawrence Block’s bestselling series of mystery novels, A Walk among the Tombstones stars Liam Neeson as Matt Scudder, an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed private investigator operating just outside the law. When Scudder reluctantly agrees to help a heroin trafficker (Dan Stevens) hunt down the men who kidnapped and then brutally murdered his wife, the PI learns that this is not the first time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime…nor will it be the last. Blurring the lines between right and wrong, Scudder races to track the deviants through the backstreets of New York City before they kill again.
