Liam Neeson has showcased his incredible talent in numerous action films this year, but one standout that continues to captivate audiences is a streaming sensation from a few years back. In Blacklight, Neeson shares the screen with Aidan Quinn (Practical Magic) and Taylor John Smith (Where the Crawdads Sing), portraying a government operative grappling with his questionable past. This gripping action thriller follows his journey as he uncovers a malevolent scheme aimed at innocent U.S. citizens, ultimately putting him at odds with the FBI director, a former ally. Despite its earlier release, Blacklight remains a top contender on VOD platforms, trending in regions like the Netherlands and beyond. Although it received a disappointing 12% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, audience reception has been more favorable, with an impressive 82% rating on the Popcornmeter.

Blacklight managed to generate only $15 million at the box office, falling short of its $43 million production budget, indicating that it failed to recoup even half of its expenses. Currently, the film is not available for streaming in the United States. However, given its rising popularity on international VOD charts, it is likely only a matter of time before it becomes available on one of the major streaming services, especially considering Neeson’s extensive fanbase. The screenplay for Blacklight was penned by Nick May, Mark Williams, and Brandon Reavis, with Mark Williams also taking the helm as director. Following his directorial debut in 2016 with A Family Man featuring Gerard Butler, Williams previously collaborated with Neeson on Honest Thief two years prior to Blacklight. Recently, he has also produced films like <em>The Accountant 2</em> starring Ben Affleck and Goodrich featuring Michael Keaton.
