Liam Neeson Interview: Naked Gun and In the Land of Saints and Sinners
In the Land of Saints and Sinners, a new crime thriller from director Robert Lorenz, feels like a bit of a homecoming for its star, Liam Neeson. The film was shot and is set in North Ireland, not far from where Neeson was born and raised, and it stars a number of prominent Irish actors in addition to Neeson, including Kerry Condon, Ciarán Hinds, and Colm Meaney. In the film, Neeson plays Finbar Murphy, a contract killer who’s hoping to put his violent past behind him for a quiet retirement. However, those plans change when an IRA gang led by a resolute Doireann McCann (Condon) ends up hiding out in Neeson’s small village after a bombing gone wrong. When Doireann’s cruel brother starts abusing a young girl that Finbar is friends with, the two killers are put on a deadly collision course that ultimately puts the whole village in danger.
Though that setup may sound a bit like one of Neeson’s action-packed beat-’em-ups, Saints and Sinners is more of a thoughtful, character-based thriller that allows for plenty of quiet, contemplative moments that are just as engrossing as the film’s violent showdowns. In this exclusive, one-on-one interview with Collider, Neeson talks about how starring in the new film was a “no-brainer“ and ponders why retiring hitmen make for such great movie characters. He also explains why he’s a bit nervous taking on the role of Frank Drebin in director Akiva Schaffer’s upcoming reboot of The Naked Gun.
