Liam Neeson's Forgotten 90-Minute Thriller Is Suddenly a Huge Netflix Hit

Liam Neeson’s forgotten 90-minute thriller is suddenly a huge Netflix hit after resurfacing on streaming three years after its 2023 theatrical release. The film initially received poor reviews and underperformed at the box office, but its home-audience momentum has lifted it in the streaming arena. The premise follows Neeson as a man trapped in his car after receiving a threat that it will explode if he exits. Positioned as a thriller in the vein of Phone Booth and Speed, the plot centers on maintaining a facade of calm while he is coerced by the unseen tormentor. The cast includes Matthew Modine, Embeth Davidtz, Jack Champion, and Noma Dumezweni. Director Nimród Antal previously helmed Predators and Armored, while Jaume Collet-Serra—who has produced and collaborated with Neeson on major action films—served as one of the producers for this title.
