Blacklight is one of this week's Valentine's Day releases. Alongside big blockbusters like Death on the Nile & J-Lo lead Marry Me.
So an American action film staring Liam Neeson whilst being filmed in Melbourne and Canberra, how will this fair at the box office versus such big hits? Time will tell, here is my say.
FBI operative (Neeson) gets involved in a government conspiracy; Emmy Raver-Lampman, Taylor John Smith, Aidan Quinn, Aussies Tim Draxl as Drew Hawthorne, Claire van der Boom as Amanda Block & Yael Stone as Helen Davidson all star.
With a number of Aussie's dropping, a familiar almost Taken plot being used with Neeson continuing to trick the bad guys, who are kind of meant to be the good guys in this film.
It's a wild ride with a car chase scene including a fully stocked garbage truck (apparently shot in the nations capital, Canberra) and Neeson not missing a shot. It's a familiar action film that only clocks in at 108 minutes, choice.
I will pass this for the Aussie content, the local jobs created during two/three years of COVID hell, so I give this a solid 2.5 gun blazing stars.
