Blacklight (Prime Video)
Travis Block (Liam Neeson) is a government
operative coming to terms with his shadowy past. When he
discovers a plot targeting U.S. citizens, Block finds
himself in the crosshairs of the FBI director he once
helped protect. Liam Neeson, no doubt, is among the most
popular action stars in the world right now, and he's
only proving himself more and more efficient with his
previous outings in the genre. Blacklight being another
"guy with special skills" action film is no different.
It has a not so complicated, easy-to-follow plot with
plenty of action and suspense.
