Blacklight Ratings & Reviews
匚卂尺ㄥ 匚ㄖㄖ爪乃乇丂
February 3, 2025
A good Liam Neeson actioner, still not quite his best.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
For fans of Neeson as action hero, "Blacklight" may be something of a disappointment, at least measuring it against the yardstick of previous thrillers in this particular branch of the actor's body of work.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
To its credit, "Blacklight" is watchable, and unintentionally laughable, but it could have been a lot better.
AV Club
Craig D. Lindsey
Neeson has basically become a hero for hire, going through the same old motions in one silly shoot-'em-up after another. We already have one Bruce Willis. We don't need two.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
Blacklight is a series of repetitious, dialogue-driven scenes capped by an inevitable, and uneventful, action-driven showdown.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
The script is, gross opportunism aside, dismally threadbare.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
As for Neeson, what can we say? He could keep doing this 'til he's 80, but surely there's something better out there. As the film's closing song goes, "every story needs a hero." True. But every hero also needs a story. A better one.
New York Times
Amy Nicholson
The twist in the screenplay is that the story sticks with the point of view of Neesons nave brute, who in an ordinary film would be a no-name heavy offed in the third act. Am I the good guy? he asks. Not really.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
A by-the-numbers action thriller lacking in both action and thrills.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
This melancholy actioner with a cliché-ridden script highlights a moral man contemplating retirement as his past catches up with him - along with his achy knee joints and feet. But Neeson's still got game.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
They should know the one thing you really don't want to do is mess with Liam Neeson's family, because the man has a very particular - Taste in screenplays.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
One could even argue that it's not a movie at all, only a rusted-out recycling bin of ill-fitting themes, notions, poses, conventions, affectations, tropes, tropelets and inert snippets of dialogue from other movies.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The kind of low-wattage, paint-by-numbers thriller that usually signifies a perilous turn toward the action purgatory that is cheap, direct-to-nowhere fare.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
It offers nary a memorable set piece or resonant line of dialogue, except for when Neeson's character admits at one point, "In hindsight, I suspect I made a poor career choice."
Asheville Movies
Edwin Arnaudin
Operates on the assumption that viewers have either never seen an FBI thriller or crave the most clich elements imaginable from that genre.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
No element of the narrative is presented with the modicum of detail required to make us care... which is a shame, because if you squint really hard you could see the beginnings of an intriguing political thriller in there somewhere.
TheWrap
Todd Gilchrist
An unsurprisingly tepid action thriller which extends this odd phase of Neesons career, but the best thing that can probably be said about it is that its not materially worse than most of the others.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
Instead of an expose about unbridled ambition we get another movie that feels as if it has rolled off the Neeson assembly line.
Austin Chronicle
Trace Sauveur
The world of government secrets and undercover agents should be a lot more exciting than what Blacklight has to offer.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
This by-the-book action thriller isn't exceptional cinema by any means, but it is good enough, and Neeson is given the spotlight to do what he does exceedingly well. Say what you will, but he still has the star power to carry a film.
