A Walk Among the Tombstones

Liam Neeson, a gritty mystery, and some seriously dark twists… This week on Forgotten Cinema, The Mikes are diving into A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014), a neo-noir thriller that puts Neeson in full detective mode; a nice change of pace in the middle of his semi-annual action fare.

Join Mike Field and Mike Butler as break down the film’s unique tone, how it plays with tropes, and how good David Harbour is as a deranged psychopath. They'll also cover a bit of the films history from popular Matthew Scudder book series to Hollywood film.

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.

What do you think? Did this deserve more sequels following the books it was based on or was it just another generic Neeson film of the 2010s? Let us know in the comments!

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
