Who could have predicted after 2008’s “Taken” that Liam Neeson would overtake the likes of Bruce Willis and Jason Statham as Hollywood’s favorite action hero? As the Irish actor approaches 70, he shows no signs of slowing down his penchant for hard-hitting movies either.

Guy Ritchie’s Wrath of Man hit theaters last Friday and the reviews are in. Rolling Stone called the film “the action-heist-revenge flick you want right now.” The film features Guy Ritchie’s long-time collaborator Jason Statham as the main character, Patrick “H” Hill.

Jason Statham is the Baryshnikov of badassery. In “Wrath of Man,” the actor’s character, called H, breathtakingly kills 10 people like he’s doing a chassé into a gloriousgrand jeté onstage at Lincoln Center.
