Liam Neeson takes on the role of a retired assassin struggling to escape his shadowy past in the upcoming neo-western thriller, “In the Land of Saints and Sinners.”
Check out the official trailer for the film, which marks Neeson’s return to his native Ireland. Neeson plays Finbar Murphy, a professional Irish hitman who has made the decision to retire to a peaceful coastal village. Haunted by his previous actions, Murphy is determined to leave behind a life of violence and seek redemption. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when a group of Irish terrorists arrives in town, driven by a thirst for revenge.
Kerry Condon, known for her Oscar-nominated role in “The Banshees of Inisherin,” co-stars as Doirean, a formidable woman leading the band of terrorists on their quest for retribution against Finbar.
The film also features a strong ensemble supporting cast, including Ciaran Hinds (“Belfast”), Jack Gleeson (famous as Joffrey Baratheon from “Game of Thrones”), Colm Meaney (“Star Trek: The Next Generation”), Sarah Greene (“Bad Sisters”), and Conor MacNeill (seen in HBO’s “Industry”).
Directed by Robert Lorenz, known for his work as a film producer on several Clint Eastwood films such as “Million Dollar Baby” and “American Sniper,” Lorenz previously collaborated with Liam Neeson on the 2021 action thriller “The Marksman.”
“In the Land of Saints and Sinners” is scheduled to open in U.S. theaters on March 29th.
