A Walk Among the Tombstones & The BoxTrolls

A Walk Among the Tombstones

LIAM NEESON plays Matt Scudder in this excellent suspense movie. Scudder is a retired police officer who becomes entangled in a murder kidnap investigation through an addict he meets in his AA meetings. The addicts brother, a drug kingpin,  wants to find his kidnapped wife. At first he resists getting involved but his instincts kick in and he ends up following the evidence into a gruesome series of killings. His unlikely sidekick is a homeless boy named TJ played with savvy by BRIAN "Astro" BRADLEY. It works very well in building a suspenseful tension that makes you want to cover your eyes and look at the same time! The story is based on LAWRENCE BLOCK's novel by the same title.
