A Walk Among the Tombstones

A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014) is a grim crime thriller with Liam Neeson you can watch online on iFILM. Matthew Scudder, an ex-cop turned unlicensed private eye, takes a job no precinct would touch: a heroin trafficker wants the men who abducted and killed his wife.

Scudder works off the books and on his own terms. The deeper he digs through late-1990s New York, the clearer it gets that this was no one-off. Two predators are hunting the families of dealers who can't run to the police, and their cruelty is a craft. Scudder walks past cemeteries and empty houses toward the pair, picking up an unlikely partner along the way: a sharp street kid named TJ.

Scott Frank wrote and directed the film from Lawrence Block's novel in the long-running Scudder series, with Dan Stevens, David Harbor and Boyd Holbrook in support. Dry, patient and free of swagger, it lets its detective pay for old sins while chasing new ones. Stream A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014) online on iFILM.
