The weakest Neeson film unfortunately. Liam Neeson is still cool and I enjoy his resourcefulness, but here I would much rather welcome if the film focused on the heists, but it goes in the least interesting direction. Liam falls in love and intends to give up and return the money in exchange for a lighter sentence, but not everything goes according to plan, especially when two greedy agents are after him. The problem is that there are only two "villains" and since Liam is a good guy who doesn't want to kill anyone, there is no excitement in the action. There is so little action that it feels like there is actually none. Each scene lasts a maximum of two minutes and the entire runtime includes a maximum of ten minutes. It is not very entertaining as a drama or a romantic film, and it lacks suspense as a thriller, so the film disappoints in almost every aspect. Too bad, I didn't enjoy it. Story***, Action**, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment**, Music***, Visuals***, Atmosphere**, Tension**. 4/10. (2020.12.08)

An aging bank robber who has stolen $9 million from safes so far but hasn't spent a shekel of it because he's been living off the paycheck he got in the Marines in the early 90s this whole time, falls in love with a single divorced receptionist and decides to leave his past behind. Instead of donating the accumulated money to, I don't know, the needy, the community, organizations that care for the underprivileged, he decides to turn himself in and give it back to justice, whereupon things start happening. Lol, who’s writing this for God's sake? In my day, all sorts of wackiness used to run in cinemas too, but similar low-budget delusions about four characters and one stupidly edited fight were pretty reliably reserved for the dusty corners of video stores, where they had numbers available for pickup even on the Friday night before Christmas. Couple that with Gemini Man's most hideous cinematography, and we're sad to admit that cinema distribution couldn't have said goodbye worse in 2020. (2021.01.06)
