Liam Neeson found huge success by shifting from mostly drama to action. Now, he could replicate that career change and dominate a new genre.

The success of his movies like The Grey and Non-Stop made it a very wise choice for his career, though his action movies have lost steam over the years. One of Neeson’s new movies could spark as big of a change to his career as Taken did, but for a new genre.
