What do you get when you cross an unexpected death with a dysfunctional family? A generic plot line that's been done a million times over. However, director Shawn Levy hopes his latest work, This is Where I Leave You, has more to offer to this tiring premise. Jason Bateman and Tiny Fey star as two of four siblings who are forced to come together after the untimely passing out their father. With its debut trailer, This is Where I Leave You, certainly packs both a comedic and dramatic punch.
Based on a Lawrence Block novel of the same name, Scott Frank looks to make his return to the director's chair for the first time in seven years with A Walk Among the Tombstones. After a strong debut with 2007's relatively unknown gem, The Lookout, Frank's newest offering follows a cop-turned-unlicensed private detective played by Liam Neeson. After a drug kingpin's wife is kidnapped and murdered, he's hired to investigate but the underworld in which he discovers is paved with immense danger. A Walk Among the Tombstones seemingly features Liam Neeson doing what he does, and the possibilities appear endless.
A Walk Among the Tombstones was a boring film.
