The film, originally released in January 2021, features Neeson as Jim Hanson, a retired Marine whose peaceful life is disrupted when he encounters a young boy fleeing from a violent cartel.
Directed by Robert Lorenz, the plot unfolds along the Arizona-Mexico border. Jim Hanson lives a quiet existence until he comes across a mother and her son attempting to escape danger. When the mother is tragically killed, Hanson takes it upon himself to honor her last wish: to transport her son, Miguel, to safety in Chicago.
The cast also includes Jacob Perez as Miguel, Katheryn Winnick as Sarah Pennington, Juan Pablo Raba as Mauricio, and Teresa Ruiz as Rosa. Critics have offered mixed reviews for the film, which holds a 37 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 110 reviews.
Reviewers have highlighted Neeson’s strong performance and his dynamic rapport with Perez. Zoe Rose Bryant from Loud and Clear Reviews described the film as “conventional yet compelling,” noting that despite its predictable plot, the engaging leads elevate the movie’s entertainment value.
Upon its theatrical release, The Marksman grossed nearly $24 million globally, according to data from Box Office Mojo. With its upcoming availability on Netflix, audiences will have another opportunity to experience this lesser-known but impactful thriller featuring Liam Neeson.
