I'm not going to say anything about the plot, don't want to spoil it for you. But I will say this: if you like the movie, head for your nearest bookstore and check out Matt Scudder in print. If you start with the first book of the series, In The Midst of Death, and work your way up to Tombstones, (the 11th by my count), you'll have a greater appreciation for the character as Mr. Neeson so ably portrayed him here.
Most people missed this one.
I love recommending this movie to friends who have never even heard of it.
This time, Neeson is Matt Scudder, a former cop turned unlicensed private investigator with a broken marriage and a dark secret in his past. Let's say there is no surprise in this storyline. Scudder is hired by a drug trafficker (played wonderfully by an unrecognizable Dan Stevens from DOWNTON ABBEY) to get revenge on the men who kidnaped and viciously killed his wife. It's soon clear that a serial killer or killers are at work. Again, nothing new here except that the female victims are the wives or girlfriends of wealthy drug traffickers. A little twist there and ironically, the traffickers all seem like nice guys. Can Scudder save the next potential victim?
Add in the smart and eager street kid that Scudder befriends and who unwittingly helps in the investigation and we definitely have a story that we have seen over and over again. It's a totally predictable and gruesome story that can be unnerving at times. Only Neeson makes A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES slightly above average.
The characters and events are based on a novel by Lawerence Block who also writes a rather long series of somewhat open-ended books with Scuddder as the primary protagonist. However you don't need to be familiar with either the author or any of the books to enjoy this film (or hate it).
While I don't think that there's anything mind-blowing about the movie I thought that it was very well done, had strong performances (some fairly subdue but still good) from all the actors involved and managed to have a few moments of levity in an otherwise bleak story. The character is flawed enough that he seems real without being so flawed that he's a psychopath detective or drug addled cynic who has taken up crime fighting for... reasons. If you enjoy shows like Jack Taylor or 8mm, I think you may like this.
So if you're looking for something you can simply enjoy on any given evening that isn't so dumb that you run the risk of losing IQ and not so pretentious that you'll immediately become a film snob I'd say give it a try.
I have a brother whose philosophy is, "If a movie doesn't grab me within 10 minutes, I'm asleep." Lol. :-) While watching, "A Walk Among the Tombstones", I pressed "pause" and called him on the telephone. My statement to him was, "Have I got a movie for you!" This is no exaggeration, once you press "play", literally 60 seconds later, "Boom"!! The movie jumps off and the thrills, chills and suspense never stop! You will be on the edge of your seat, at times in disbelief and totally engrossed by the story, action and drama. In closing, if you like suspense, action and/or Liam Neeson -- get this film. You will not be disappointed.

Les commentaires de ce film étaient partagés entre <5 étoiles et 2 étoiles> Mais pour moi <5 étoiles sur 5>.
Auch hier macht er Jagd auf ziemlich böse Jungs. Die Geschichte beginnt im Jahr 1991. Damals war Matt Scudder (Liam Neeson), der heute - acht Jahre später - als Privatdetektiv arbeitet, noch ein Cop bei der Polizei. Sein Leben verändert sich aber völlig durch eine Schießerei in einer Bar. Dort wird der Besitzer vor seinen Augen von drei Gangstern erschossen. Es gelingt Scudder zwei der Männer bei der Flucht zu erschießen, den dritten schießt er ins Bein. Leider stirbt im Kugelhagel, den der Cop entfacht, auch ein kleines Mädchen in den Armen ihrer weinenden Mutter. Für Scudder ein Grund mit dem Alkohol aufzuhören und auch den Job an den Nagel zu hängen. Acht Jahre später ist er clean, aber nicht glücklich. Er arbeitet als Privatdetektiv. Peter (Boyd Holbrook), ein Junkie, den er bei den anomymen Alkoholikern kennengelernt hat, bittet ihn darum, dass er seinem Bruder, dem Drogendealer Kenny Kristo (Dan Stevens) behilflich sein soll. Er soll die Entführer und Mörder seiner Frau finden. Bei seinen Recherchen wird der Detektiv von dem obdachlosen Jungen TJ (Astro) unterstützt. Sehr schnell findet er Parallelen zu einem weiteren grausamen Mord. Wie Kenny war auch der Mann des anderen Opfers ein Drogendealer. Als er den Friedhofswärter Loogan (Olafur Darri Olfafsson) befragt, bemerkt er, dass dieser scheinbar etwas zu verbergen hat.
Inzwischen sind die beiden Entführer Ray und Albert (David Harbour und Adam David Thompson auf der Suche nach weiteren Opfern. Sie beobachten in ihrem Wagen das Haus des Drogenhändlers Yuri Landau (Sebastian Roche). Da dessen Frau bettlägerig ist, kommt sie nicht als Objekt ihrer perversen Tötungsfantasien in Betracht. Aber Yuris hübsche 14-jährige Tochter Ludmilla (Danielle Rose Russell) passt perfekt ins Beuteschema. Sie wird entführt. Für Scudder läuft die Zeit davon...
Liam Neeson in der Paradereolle des Ermittlers mit einer düsteren Vergangenheit. Regisseur Scott Frank hat aber auch ein Auge dafür die verstörenden Abgründe erkennbar zu machen. Für sein Drehbuch zu Soderberghs "Out fo Sight" wurde er für den oscar nominiert. Auch das Drehbuch zu "Minority Report" stammt von ihm. Mit dem sehr gelungenen Thriller "Die Regeln der Gewalt" gab Scott Frank sein vielversprechendes Filmdebüt, mit seinem neuen Film "Ruhet in Frieden" ist ihm ein gleichwertiger sehr guter Genrefilm geglückt. Basierend auf dem Roman von Lawrence Block ist ihm ein perfekter Noir-Thriller gelungen, der in allen Nebenrollen bestens besetzt ist. Natürlich bietet die Geschichte nicht viel Neues, aber sie präsentiert klassisches Thrillerkino auf hohem Niveau und begeistert durch den gebrochenen Helden, der immer tiefer in die perverse Welt seiner Gegner eintauchen muss und am Ende zum grimmigen Racheengel wird. Tolles Genrekino.
