Mobster and hit man Jimmy Conlon (Neeson) has one night to figure out where his loyalties lie: with his estranged son, Mike, whose life is in danger, or his long time best friend, mob boss Shawn Maguire (Harris), who wants Mike to pay for the death of his own son.
So, the plot is simplistic, the violence level is high and the two lead actors are pretty much reprising roles they have played several times before - Neeson especially who seems to be caught in this genre.
If you like gangster on gangster, high body count movies then this is great, otherwise it's missable.
