" Travis Block, a shadowy government agent who specializes in removing operatives whose covers have been exposed, uncovers a deadly conspiracy within his own ranks that reaches the highest echelons of power." IMDb
The movie stars Liam Neeson as Travis Block. Emmy Raver-Lampman. Aidan Quinn and Taylor John Smith.
The blot is simple, Neeson who is a sort of shadowy FBI agent working for the FNI director Gabrial Robson (Quinn), finds out theres something fishy going on with the FBI, indeed fishier than a Cods bathing costume.
The films starts well with action more of less from the start, sadly it slows down a lot after that, there is action but the film is just slow compared to most of Neesons movies.
The other issue for me was the actors, While Neeson and Quinn did a great job, the others less so. Raver-Lampman (the female lead) came across as wooden and didn't engage with me at all. Frankly I didn't care much about the other cast, they might as well have not been there, they really added little to the story.
The title is also a bit of an odd choice, a blacklight is another name for an ultraviolet light, it had nothing at all to do with the story.
Not Leeson best film by a fair margin but not terrible either.
Waynes Rating 6/10 Watch if your a Neeson fan, give it a miss otherwise
