Liam Neeson Willing to Take on More Wicked Roles

“There is something noble in such wicked characters, though they suffered, while what they have experienced in the past is reflected later on,” he explained.

The movie follows a villainous hit man, Neeson’s character, who falls on hard times and is looking for redemption.

“This film was special because the character of Neeson was really wicked,” Spanish director Collet-Serra said.

Renowned actor Ed Harris plays the role of a gangster in “Run All Night,” an actor with whom Neeson has worked all his life, maintaining a relationship of absolute loyalty.

The Irish star is currently in Taiwan shooting “Silence,” a movie by legendary director Martin Scorsese, along with co-star Andrew Garfield, the titular role in the 2014 “The Amazing Spiderman 2.”

On his role in “Silence,” Neeson explained that his character is based on Father Ferreira, a Portuguese apostate who wrote a heretical, anti-Catholic book, while he shared that the movie touches upon a hot topic, religious fundamentalism.
