Once again, Neeson plays a retired killer dragged back into action in this 1970s Ireland-set story filled with Western movie staples
It’s clear early on in In The Land Of Saints And Sinners that director Robert Lorenz was inspired by his frequent collaborator Clint Eastwood. Lorenz was Eastwood’s producer and second-unit director for many years, and Eastwood starred in his directorial debut, Trouble With The Curve . You could call this, his third directorial feature, an Unforgiven wannabe. Its plot and lead character arc mirror Eastwood’s Oscar-winning classic Western.
As a Western, it has many failings as well. Its moral dilemma is not complicated, the choices Finbar makes come easy and the audience is never torn about whether to root for him or not. See, he might be a killer but he really just wants to save children and ultimately plant a garden. The aforementioned copious conversations about complex issues only manage to slow down the action instead of adding gravitas and pathos.
