Liam Neeson’s The Marksman Hits Netflix in November 2025
Netflix has set a streaming date for Liam Neeson’s 2021 action film, The Marksman. The divisive thriller will be available on the platform starting November 14, 2025, introducing the movie to a new audience after its theatrical run.
Film Synopsis and Cast
Directed by Robert Lorenz, The Marksman features Neeson as Jim Hanson, an ex-Marine and Arizona rancher. The plot is set in motion when he witnesses a young migrant, Miguel (Jacob Perez), and his mother fleeing from assassins from a Mexican drug cartel. After a shoot-out, a dying Rosa (Teresa Ruiz) pleads with Jim to take her son to safety in Chicago.
Defying his cop daughter Sarah (Katheryn Winnick), Jim and Miguel embark on a road trip with the cartel’s ruthless leader, Mauricio (Juan Pablo Raba), in pursuit. The film charts their evolving friendship and culminates in a final confrontation.
Critical and Audience Reception
Upon its release, The Marksman proved to be a polarizing film. Critics were largely unimpressed, awarding it a “rotten” 37% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with many criticizing its formulaic approach and suggesting it “should have aimed higher.”
In stark contrast, audiences were far more receptive, giving the film a fresh 83% score on the same site. Viewer consensus indicated that for fans of Neeson in his signature action-hero mode, The Marksman is “well worth a watch.”
Liam Neeson’s Continued Action Career
Despite occasionally mentioning retirement from action roles, Liam Neeson remains a prolific figure in the genre. Following his recent comedic turn in The Naked Gun, the actor has several action projects on the horizon, including the heist film 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank and the thrillers Hotel Tehran and The Mongoose.
