Liam Neeson is showing no signs of slowing down as he is yet to star in yet another flick very soon. The 71-year-old Irish actor is set to star in Thug, an action flick that is definitely in the Taken actor’s wheelhouse.

The actor has been kept busy over the last year. In the last few weeks, two films starring the Armagh native have been released.

The Irish thriller In The Land of Saints and Sinners saw Neeson playing a former assassin looking to leave his dark past behind. Neeson starred in the tense flick alongside Irish Oscar-nominee Kerry Condon as well as Jack Gleeson and Ciarán Hinds.

Meanwhile, he also starred in the action film Retribution, which saw Neeson playing his typical action-hero dad in a race against time. Neither film got great reviews from critics, but Thug provides Neeson with a chance to come back with a bang.

Here is everything to know about Thug starring Liam Neeson, which was filmed in Boston.

What is Thug starring Liam Neeson about?

In Thug, Liam Neeson plays an older man who has lived as a gangster. The man, whose character name hasn’t been revealed, is looking to leave his old life behind and reconnect with his family.

However, and somewhat predictably, his former colleagues are less than enthused about the man’s decision, which puts Neeson’s character and his family in danger.

Who else stars in Thug?

As well as Liam Neeson, Thug stars Hellboy star Ron Perlman, Yolanda Ross, Daniel Diemer, Matthew Delameter, and Tom Kemp. No character details have been revealed yet.

Meanwhile, Thug is being directed by Hans Petter Moland, who worked with Neeson on the 2019 film Cold Pursuit.

When and where will Thug starring Liam Neeson be released?

No official release date has been set for Thug, although filming is believed to have wrapped.

Collider reports that the film will be released in theaters and streaming soon after. No trailer has been released yet.
