In the Land of Saints and Sinners

Hoping to leave his dark past behind him, former assassin Finbar Murphy (Liam Neeson) leads a quiet life in a coastal Irish town, far from the political violence that grips the rest of the country.

When menacing terrorists show up, Finbar soon discovers that one of them has been abusing a local girl.

Drawn into an increasingly vicious game of cat and mouse, he must choose between exposing his secret identity and defending his friends and neighbors.

In the Land of Saints and Sinners utilizes the stunning Irish landscape, a remarkably immersive score, and excellent performances to elevate a formulaic, predictable, thematically shallow narrative. It turned out to be surprisingly better than expected.
