The Marksman Movie Review

 

Cliche flies like characters in "Trouble With the Curve" to formulaic cartel director Robert Lorenz "The Marksman," and Liam Neeson as a troubled seaside who takes turns leading Mexican cartel killers on a road trip to Chicago . Tom Hanks took an orphaned girl across Texas to her relatives in "World News," and Neeson takes a Mexican boy from Arizona to Illinois for this modern crime music. As the mother and son cross the border on foot following the gunmen, an American widow named Jim Hanson intervenes with his shotgun and blocks them with a shotgun. Now, "The Marksman" is not a movie full of violence from wall to wall. A few people die, and some die off the screen. However, this predictable but complex prediction, measured by PG, the thread of pursuit tends to extend fidelity to the end. Lorenz and new writers Chris Charles and Danny Kravitz give us nothing we have yet to see in tragic, suspicious proverbs such as "No World for Old Men" (2007), "Savages" (2012), "End of Watch" (2012), "The Last Stand" ( 2013), Sicario "(2015), poems entitled" Sicario: Day of the Soldado "(2018)," Miss Bala (2019), "Peppermint" (2018), and "Rambo: Last Blood" (2019). Instead, Lorenz and the company also use moldy cliches and classic ideas, for a few surprises. Sometimes, our veteran hero has "Rambo" moments, but these are just a few. Our character often behaves as if he had never seen a crime game on television. This 107 minute movie may solve your impatience. Our hero not only forgets everything he learned on two Vietnam tours, but also does not realize that they are following him by buying him with a credit card. Indeed, the Liam Neeson actor made several shocking mistakes during his flight that would have angered the audience who longed for his films "Taken". Jim (Liam Neeson of "Cold Pursuit") has fallen through hard times with no visible relief. After his wife was diagnosed with cancer, he had a huge debt that he could not repay. Now, a friendly bank owner warns him that he is still 90 days away from being evicted from the center and home. In fact, Jim is a lost soul when he almost dropped off a young migrant woman, Rosa (Teresa Ruiz "of Bordertown"), and her 11-year-old son Miguel (newly arrived Jacob Perez) who left everything on their flight to Arizona. . Rosa's malicious brother Carlos (Alfredo Quiroz of "Sicario: Day of the Soldado") who worked as a chariot messenger allowed his greed to destroy him. Shortly before the wagon catches up with him, Carlos warns Rosa of the vamos before they come to retrieve their pound of meat. The cartel makes their examples when betraying them. Jim didn't have enough anxiety before he almost collided with Rosa and Miguel on the street, he still has it now. Basically, a fenced enclosure encompasses Jim's farm in southern Arizona, and the farmer makes his rounds of commitment as he catches these innocent intruders. During a brief fire extinguisher, Jim chases away the killers, but before poor Rosa picks up the slug he dies at the scene. Note, things are getting worse. Now, Jim struggles with his conscience because he feels guilty for Rosa's death. The cartel backs up to lick the wounds, and Jim calls out for the Border Patrol. Before his death, Rosa desperately asked for help from Jim. Now, with guilt over it, Jim realizes that he has to help Rosa's son. If Miguel is deported, he will return to Mexico, and his chariot will be his own. So far, "Marksman" has shown promise. We want our strong hero with a heart of gold to save Miguel and kill these crazy people. However, everything stagnates when Jim asks to see Miguel at Border Patrol Station. Just before entering the center, Jim sees Mauricio (Juan Pablo Raba of "Peppermint") and his followers waiting outside the station. Now, all Border Patrol Agents fall in love with Jim because his adopted daughter, Sarah (Katheryn Winnick of "Failure To Launch"), works there as a Border Patrol Agent, too. Inside the station, Border Patrolman against his best feelings gives Jim a moment with Miguel because he has to catch an emergency call. Our hero shows his sense of courage when he pulls little Miguel out of the locker room and Border Patrol Station in front of everyone's eyes. No one sees him on the monitors, and he sails with Miguel sitting next to him in his heavily loaded truck. Remember, during a fire at the border, a truck exploded in Jim's truck with a hail of bullets. Surprisingly, Jim has not bothered to repair the damage, so he has been driving a car with an air conditioner, but he has not noticed that it is leaking! Jim plans to take Miguel to his relatives in Chicago, but Miguel does not talk to him. Miguel blames Jim for his mother's death. However, the two will form friendships that are not based on nationality or age. Jim made his second mistake when he hoped his truck would collapse after the Mauricio and the company had put bullet holes in it. Jim doesn't have a cell phone because he doesn't have anyone to call. One of the most painful scenes happened when Mauricio flirted with a female clerk who was in a state of shock after she refused to help him. Like Mauricio's bombs, we were outside a shop when gunfire erupted. If the perpetrators had been insulted when they tied Carlos upstairs, the murder of a helpless girl would turn them into cold-blooded dogs. Finally, our handsome hero grabbed the slug from his gut, and Mauricio dug it with his knife. A sad story with a sad ending, "Marksman" never gets enough bullseyes to keep us focused on his misery. If you hate movies where you can predict the outcome long before heroes and criminals, you will be complaining throughout "The Marksman."
