Sadly, I have to agree with the consensus, and against the conventional wisdom that, "age ain't nuthin' but a number", especially when you're an "action movie" icon, and father time is rapidly gaining on you. Liam Neeson was never the super ripped / buff type of hero, but more the everyman or man with a past, pushed to his limits. So, unlike an ageing Stallone, Schwarzenegger, or Lundgren, there's much less muscle memory (and mass) to fall back on, and even camera tricks can't hide what we all can clearly see. The "man with a certain set of skills", has lost a step or two, thus he's now taking on these types of roles. Not really "action", but "action adjacent", or "actionish". Not necessarily a bad thing, if he can find the right script and co star(s). Perhaps playing Danny Glover to a more spry stars Mel Gibson. Hell Even he and Mel Gibson playing two slightly over the hill versions of their earlier screen personas. Like I said, with the right script and director, it could work.

As others have stated, this is an OK time waster, with generic corporate baddies and their henchmen. But also, let us not forget the unspoken hero Skeeter, the Rat.
