It's close, but Liam Neeson quite ain't a genre of its own because he's not typecast like, say, Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris or Jackie Chan. He does other stuff as well. In fact, Liam Neeson's body of work speaks volumes. It's diverse, massive and impressive from serious drama (Schindler's List) to western genre (Seraphim Falls), romantic fluff (Love Actually) and epic pieces (Gangs of New York, Kingdom of Heaven) and so on. Also, his apperance on Ricky Gervais' Life's Too Short is one of the funniests shits ever created. It's fascinating that the man of his talent spends so much time with somewhat trivial action films. But kudos to him. He makes them better. In Honest Thief he's in-and-out bandit, a bank robber who wants to turn himself in. Some crooked cops to deal with first. A hopelessly flawed piece, but it's still great. Bless his soul.
