Technically flawless, but lacked the bittersweet clarity of Anderson's best work. Very funny though.
Alien by way of Master and Commander. Pretty good, but a few nudges could have made it great.
Blacklight is a paint-by-numbers action thriller, the latest in the increasingly crowded "aging actor plays retired badass" subgenre. When compared to its peers, Blacklight isn't that bad - Neeson has yet to start phoning it in and the movie has a crack at being politically relevant, but it's so predictable and lazily executed that the one-sentence summary above is an adequate substitute for actually seeing the movie.
It gets an additional half a star for being filmed in Melbourne and Canberra, which provides an amusing diversion.
