Seeing that 2020 is about to end, who knows that the world-famous rescue god Liam Neeson brought his latest masterpiece "Golden Rescue" to meet us.

This uncle, who has rescued in the movie for 10 years, has been rescued from 58 years old to 68 years old. Counting this "Golden Rescue", he starred in 6 rescue movies in the past 10 years.

The total production cost of the five films of the "Hurricane Rescue" trilogy, "Air Rescue" and "Commuter Rescue" starring in before was 198 million U.S. dollars, while the global box office reached 1.267 billion U.S. dollars.

Such a high rate of return at the box office, in addition to making the late Liam Neeson quickly become popular around the world, it also made the film's remuneration quickly into the tens of millions of dollars.

The reason why Liam Neeson's rescue movie is so popular is that in addition to the excellent production of the movie itself, his personal charm is also powerful.

After "Golden Rescue" was released in North America on October 16, it reached the top spot with a box office of $4.2 million in the first weekend while covering only half of the theaters.

Although still playing the sign of rescue, it can be clearly seen from the film that with the increase of age, Liam Neeson is no longer courageous, and is different from the punch to the flesh in "Hurricane Rescue" in 2008. "Golden Rescue" is more of a gun battle.

In order to make up for the lack of action scenes, the warmth scene was greatly increased in "Golden Rescue". Liam Neeson played Tom in the film, who was originally a highly skilled wanted bank thief, but because of his girlfriend who fell in love at first sight, But they decided to surrender and wash themselves, but the two policemen who had become greedy completely disrupted the matter.

This time, Liam Neeson’s role in the film is more like rescuing himself, which means to redeem his merits, and it is for precious love.

The story of the whole film is neither stunning nor procrastinating. It is a fairly low-cost action film. Moreover, even the producer of the film, Kailu Films, is a film company with a low profile in the industry.

Of course, all this does not seem to be a big problem, because the core character Liam Nissen is the finale. With his extraordinary charm, the film is still hot enough.

It's just a pity that the 68-year-old Liam Neeson is obviously unable to take on more action scenes. It is like Jackie Chan in Vanguard no longer jumps off the building and chooses to take the stairs.

However, Liam Neeson’s road to rescue seems to have not stopped, because in 2021 he will have two rescue movies "Ice Road Rescue" and "Reserve: Crisis Rescue" to meet with us.

Very curious, does Liam Neeson have to carry out the next rescue 10 years?
