But everything changes when Hanson, an ex-Marine sharpshooter, witnesses 11-year-old migrant Miguel (Jacob Perez) fleeing with his mother Rosa (Teresa Ruiz) from drug cartel assassins led by the ruthless Mauricio (Juan Pablo Raba). After being caught in a shoot-out, a dying Rosa begs Jim to take her son to safety to her family in Chicago. Defying his cop daughter Sarah (Katheryn Winnick), Jim sneaks Miguel out of the local U.S. Customs and Border Patrol station and together, they hit the road with the group of killers in pursuit. Jim and Miguel slowly begin to overcome their differences and begin to forge an unlikely friendship, while Mauricio and his fellow assassins blaze a cold-blooded trail, hot on their heels. When they finally meet on a Midwestern farm, a fight to the death ensues as Jim uses his military skills and code of honor to defend the boy he's come to love.

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The Marksman benefits from having Liam Neeson in the lead, but this formulaic action thriller should have aimed higher.

      Audience Says

      The plot's predictable, the story sometimes drags, and the ending isn't for everyone -- but if you're in the mood for Liam Neeson in action hero mode, The Marksman is well worth a watch.

      Scott Marks San Diego Reader Eastwood's former 1st AD-turned-director Robert Lorenz leads with an uncluttered visual style, a respect for his characters framed in juxtaposition with the land that would make his former boss proud. Rated: 3/5 May 6, 2021 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times While that stuff might be new to this guy, we've seen it all before. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 23, 2021 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com This is a ponderous slog of a tale that rarely achieves anything close to a lasting impact. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 22, 2021 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views Robert Lorenz, the director and one of three cowriters, usually produces Clint Eastwood flicks, and even the film’s bonus features reference them. Neeson makes a more affable protagonist than curmudgeon Eastwood Jun 9, 2024 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews Liam Neeson as a Farmer/Marksman/Defender The same stuff he always plays Enjoyable Surface level action Jul 26, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Is nothing but trope-filled inconsequential scenes that follow the hollow action thriller playbook genre step by each yawn-inducing step.

Hard to watch! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/12/21 Full Review Kevin Unpredictable, raw, believable, and taut. Not a minute of fluff. Best movie Ive seen from start to finish in a very long time.
