CLEVELAND, Ohio — Now in his late 60s, Liam Neeson has enjoyed a second act as an unlikely action star. The once Oscar-nominated actor has appeared in so many action movies in the 13 years since “Taken” was released, he has become the face of the so-called “geri-action” sub-genre.

You’ve no doubt seen this type of movie before. Neeson usually plays a damaged (i.e. drunk, absentee father, his wife is dead, etc.,) yet honorable man with a particular set of skills (i.e. ex-CIA, former military, etc.,) minding his own business when he is unwittingly thrown into the middle of a sinister, yet fairly generic plot. He spends the next two hours exacting revenge on the bad guys (i.e. Mafia, human traffickers, trade federation, etc.,) who kidnapped his daughter, murdered innocent people or pissed him off in some other way. When somebody later asks you if you’ve seen this movie, you’ll pause for a beat and reply, “I think so?”

Well, he’s back! “The Marksman,” which opens in theaters Friday, is noteworthy for at least two reasons: it isn’t your typical Neeson action movie and it was partially filmed in Northeast Ohio, though the filmmakers do a pretty good job of disguising that fact.

Make no mistake: the setup is very Neeson-esque. He plays Jim Hanson, an ex-Marine (✔️), a loner (✔️) and a widower (✔️) living on a ranch along the Arizona-Mexico border. He is minding his own business (✔️) trying to figure out a way to save his home from foreclosure (✔️) when he encounters a mother and her 11-year-old-son running away from a ruthless, evil drug cartel (✔️).

But when the mother (Teresa Ruiz) is killed, she asks Jim to deliver her son, Miguel (Jacob Perez), to relatives in Chicago. Instead, he turns the boy in to border patrol. But after experiencing a crisis of conscience — and finding a bag full of cash in the car — he pulls, well, a “Liam Neeson,” sneaking Miguel out of custody, determined to fulfill the mother’s dying wish.

The film then takes an unexpected turn as Neeson’s hardened ex-Marine and the timid, resentful kid hit the road with the cartel’s henchmen, led by Mauricio (Juan Pablo Raba of “Narcos”), hot on their trail. Instead of relentless action sequences, director Robert Lorenz (“Trouble with the Curve”) relies on quiet moments between the old man and young boy as they slowly discover they need each other in different ways to survive. Over the course of their cross-country trip, they learn to tolerate and even like each other, bonding over a dog, hamburgers and their shared goal of not getting killed.

Neeson is classic Neeson: tough on the outside, begrudgingly soft on the inside. He’s a man who lives by a code. Newcomer Perez is vulnerable, yet confident. Both deliver effectively understated performances as the script, written by Lorenz with Chris Charles and Cleveland native Danny Kravitz, is efficient to a fault, with probably more notes in the margins than actual dialogue. Neeson’s character is indeed an excellent marksman, but otherwise, his particular set of skills here aren’t all that impressive. You’ll have to try harder than usual to suspend your disbelief as the odd couple stays one step ahead of the cartel and Hanson’s border patrol officer stepdaughter (Katheryn Winnick).

Still, your heart, inevitably and sneakily, will eventually begin to swell — perhaps not in a “Finding Nemo” kind of way but swell nonetheless. It’s then when you realize, save for an early gunfight and the movie’s climactic showdown, there’s actually very little action in the movie and the violence happens offscreen in true PG-13 fashion. That’s not necessarily a complaint. It’s just different than what we’re used to.

But that’s not the only way “The Marksman” subverts expectations. Remember when random Liam Neeson sightings around Cleveland (he bowled at Mahall’s!) went way up during the fall of 2019? Turns out, you have to look really closely to notice the film was shot here at all. This is essentially a road-trip movie, which required Northeast Ohio to look the part of Texas, Oklahoma, Chicago and all points between. The crew shot scenes in Wellington in Lorain County, at a farm in Mantua in Portage County, various neighborhoods in Cleveland and along the Ohio Turnpike. Squint and you might even notice a sign for I-71/Cleveland-Columbus in what is supposed to be Texas. Definitive proof of the movie’s local ties doesn’t come until the very last scene when W. 65th St. in the Gordon Square Arts District stands in for Chicago and the Capitol Theatre and Hausfrau Record Shop can clearly be seen in the background.

So, “The Marksman” might not be the Liam Neeson filmed-in-Cleveland movie you signed up for. Sure, the DNA of a standard Neeson “geri-action” genre film is all there. But at its heart, you’ll find a surprisingly human story about a man, a boy and redemption. Maybe that’s the Liam Neeson movie we could all use right now.
