Liam Neeson's The Mongoose Opens: A Framed War Hero Leads a Televised Cross-Country Chase
The action thriller The Mongoose, starring Liam Neeson, opened in U.S. theaters on October 30 through Samuel Goldwyn Films. The studio's official trailer, from its own channel, is embedded on this page.
Neeson plays Ryan 'Fang' Flanagan, a highly decorated Afghan war hero who is falsely accused of a crime and leads police on an epic televised cross-country car chase, helped by members of his former Special Forces Army battalion while a fascinated public roots for his safe getaway.
The film marks the feature directorial debut of Mark Vanselow, who served as Neeson's personal stunt double and fight coordinator for almost 30 years.
Marisa Tomei plays Tara, Fang's ex-wife, who stays in his corner; Ving Rhames plays Tanker, his old second-in-command and his 'eye in the sky'; and Michael Chiklis plays Major Walter Pope, the head of the Texas Highway Patrol, who is convinced Fang is guilty.
The film runs about 98 minutes and is rated R. It opened first in the UAE and Singapore on October 29, and a digital release is scheduled for November 4.
