The Marksman

"This is a shameless smash and grab of No Country For Old Men, Logan and anything else that can trace its whakapapa back to Shane."

"There’s no escaping the formulaic storyline featuring uncomplicated good guys and abundantly villainous bad guys."

"It’s too vague, shying away from any controversy, to say much at all."

"It is the kind of film you watch on accident more than seek out, but you probably won’t regret the accident."

"A solid entry in the Neeson action oeuvre."

"Lorenz stages the action with a convincing ebb and flow, but thanks to an undercooked script what happens in between is mostly boilerplate."

"Neeson remains the image of dogged, watchable commitment. Even he seems to know that he's the wrong man for the job..."

"It's a simplistic, closed-loop moral universe in which the major plot thread is tied up too neatly and others are pretty much forgotten."

""The Marksman" fades out on its very Eastwoodian finale, Clint's touch doesn't feel like an unsubtle inspiration so much as it does a severe kind of absence."

"The cinematic version of comfort food: satisfyingly familiar but full of starch and empty calories."
