Robert Lorenz is a director who has had a long association with Clint Eastwood.
I guess Eastwood was too old for The Marksman so Liam Neeson steps in.
Neeson plays Jim Hanson, a retired Marine marksman with money troubles. He spent his savings on his wife's medical bills who has since died of cancer. His ranch is at risk of foreclosing.
Jim comes across a couple of migrants crossing the border from Mexico. Rosa, a young mother dies. She asks Jim to her son Miguel to some relatives in Chicago.
On their tail are some Mexican gangsters, Miguel's father stole money from them and that seems a good motivation for Jim.
This is a slower paced action film. Melancholic in tone. Jim is gruff and at first reluctant to help Rosa and Miguel. Eventually Jim and Miguel strike up a rapport as the bad guys seem to be right behind them.
For a movie called the Marksman there is not much shooting from Jim. In that sense it misses the mark.
