Unlike Neeson, Washington chooses quality over quantity.
The Big Picture Although the action genre is traditionally associated with younger stars who are at the peak of their physicality, the most successful action films of the 21st century have been those that feature older heroes. Movie stars like Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, and Harrison Ford have dominated the action genre, despite being slightly past their prime.
Comparatively, Neeson’s transition into action cinema felt like a last ditch attempt to remain relevant. Although he had starred in a series of strong dramatic films like Kinsey, Breakfast on Pluto, Batman Begins, and Kingdom of Heaven in the early 21st century, Neeson’s filmography at the time of Taken’s initial release was dominated by unmemorable supporting performances in franchise films.
Comparatively, Neeson’s action films have been largely indistinguishable. He gives almost identical performances in films like Memory, Blacklight, The Marksman, Honest Thief, and Cold Pursuit, and the films themselves aren’t different enough for that to even matter. Neeson has diluted the appeal of his star power by constantly appearing in such forgettable projects, and the decisions he’s made in between them have been borderline disastrous.
