Buddy OFeb 12, 2022So indistinguishable from Neeson's other recent thrillers that it’s not impossible that he’s been digitally composited in here from those.

The kind of movie you forget about as you’re watching it. By the time it’s over you can’t remember anyone’s name and you wonder if you even watched a movie or just imagined one while zoning out.

📀 Cammmalot 📀Jul 30, 2022Liam Neeson just loves to go fight, For an agency he thinks is right. A movie a year, Though one thing's not clear, Why this one is has the title, "Blacklight".
JBirdJan 31, 2023"The US government is murdering its own innocent citizens!" "Yeah, that is messed up." So true!! Genuinely wanted to give this credit for having vaguely progressive politics for a bargain bin conspiracy programmer with the premise of a geriatric, off-the-books CIA…

Disclaimer: I watch every Liam action movie The criminals have all gotten word that messing with Liam’s family is the way to make him go full nuclear and of course..rinse, wash, smirk, blow something up, add granddaughter, repeat. Easy watch, they didn’t need the family story
madison lovedBlacklightvery good story line & it flows well. one of the best movies i’ve watched in a good while
MRSU1C1DESQD dislikedBlacklightBlacklight is a movie about political corruptness in American Media. It’s an interesting film but I don’t think it was executed very well. Many of the action scenes had weird effects to them and were out of place. The score was not great and placed at inconvenient times.
- Grant Friday lovedBlacklight
This is a very good film, but, I stand by the fact that once you’ve seen one Liam Neeson film, you’ve seen them all. I’m yet to see him act differently. That’s not to put him to shame at all, but you just know what you’re going to get when you know Neeson is involved.
Garmelie dislikedBlacklightHideously shallow, unbelievably boring. Aging Neeson is a fraction of what he used to be, shown blatantly through the countless 50-cuts-per-second action sequences. Wasn’t even close to being “so bad it’s good”… was just brutally garbage on all fronts. 1/5
Oldguylovesmovies dislikedBlacklightThis movie has to be one of my top 10 WORST movies of all time! Hes 70 pretending to keep up with 20yr old. Horrible plot. Liam has a disappearing cut during a scene. Movie ended so quickly. they ran out of money or script.
- Trevor Coyle is "meh" onBlacklight
Liam neesons worst ending to a movie yet. I was glad this one was over too. The coolest scene and only scene actually worth a damn was the house fight scene. It was just so dry. It took me 4 tries to watch this movie.
Mikey is "meh" onBlacklightThe story could have been really interesting. But I think they got lost in the beginning. The end felt rushed and the way the FBI director gsve in so easily was not convincing tbh. There would be a bigger fights
Eli Lucas is "meh" onBlacklight5.0/10 As for an uncovering a corrupt government action plot goes, very underwhelming. Coulda been one episode of a tv show it was that dry.

CNConcha NinoGreat Action/MYSTERY movie. Liam Neeson is an awesome Actor.
GSGV SLove Liam Neesom...great actor. Movie good, not exceptional. Knew what was going to happen before it happened. Almost fell asleep ...

Maybe not groundbreaking but I enjoyed every minute!
WVWilfredo VerasIt was just ok. The plot is nothing original that we haven't seen before in an action movie. The hand to hand combat looked very weak as well. Liam Neeson has other movies that are much more entertaining than this.
MMMichael Marksthe one of the worst movies I saw this year very disappointed I do not recommend it maybe if you watch it at home do not spend any money to watch this movie whoever says it's a great movie I will not take their advice because it's terrible

I was expecting something exciting from Liam
SSSean SanchezTypical Liam Neesom action flick. not awful. Script could've been better.
RLReza LewisI guess I was expecting too much. There was decent action scenes, but the plot was weak.

Neeson maintains a certain doleful dignity as an action star who apparently takes no pleasure in his gift for violence, but Blacklight has little else going for it.

At least Williams displays a bit of inventive flair with novel booby traps and a chase scene that features a lurching garbage truck.
