Critic Reviews for Run All Night on Moviebuff.com

It’s an overtly moralistic, vaguely Catholic touch, and one that can’t help but ring slightly false in a movie that, like so many of Neeson’s assignments of late, turns the spectacle of mass killing into a job well done

Justin Chang, Variety

A succession of car chases and bar room brawls set the pulse racing in this New York-set thriller – and it whups the Taken sequels

Run all night stop short of being a really rock-solid action vehicle, but it can't be denied it's probably Neeson best all-out genre exercise in a while
