Short description

Matthew Scudder, a former New York police officer, now works as an unlicensed private investigator. A heroin trafficker, Kenny Kristo, reluctantly hires him to track down the men who kidnapped and brutally killed his wife. Scudder finds that this was not the first crime of its kind against people in the drug trade, and he sets out through the city's underworld to find those responsible before they strike again. A homeless teenage artist, TJ, becomes an important ally in his search.

The film is a crime thriller directed by Scott Frank, who also wrote the screenplay. It is his second feature as director, following The Lookout in 2007. Liam Neeson leads the cast as Scudder, with Dan Stevens, David Harbour, Boyd Holbrook, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson and Astro in supporting roles. Danny DeVito, Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher served as producers. The film runs 114 minutes.

Released in September 2014, the production had a budget of 28 million dollars and took in around 59 million dollars worldwide. On IMDb it holds a rating of 6.5 from roughly 132,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 6.3 from about 3,100 votes. A critics' rating of 6.2 from 162 reviews places it close to the audience scores, suggesting a moderate overall response.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the novel of the same name by Laurence Block.
  • Previously, director DJ Caruso was involved with the project.
  • Initially, Joe Carnahan was slated to direct the film, and Harrison Ford was attached to star.
  • Ruth Wilson was cast as Joe Darkin (a male character in the book), and the plot involved her being Liam Neeson's partner. However, the director ultimately decided that Neeson's character should be a loner, and all scenes featuring Wilson were cut.
  • Michael Iluma was considered for the role of TJ.
  • Filming began on March 3, 2013, in New York.
  • This is the second on-screen appearance of the character Matt Scudder. He was first played by Jeff Bridges in the film “8 Million Ways to Die” (1986).
  • Due to Liam Neeson's popularity and the success of his previous hits, the film broke even before its release through international distribution sales alone.
