Have you recently checked out a certain Irishman's latest action-thriller involving a combat veteran? Then you’re likely keen to revisit some of Liam Neeson’s past action work. I’ve got you covered on that front. Cold, charismatic and with an iconic accent that could melt steel, how can you not love this actor’s stellar CV?

I’ve adored Liam ever since I first saw him in 1995’s “Rob Roy”, even if his Highland accent isn’t the best. Hey, I’m Scottish (I can judge). Over the last 20 years of tackling terrorists and timber wolves, Neeson has become a slightly unlikely action star. After all, how many performers can claim to be an actual Jedi who has also starred in a Steven Spielberg Best Picture winner? ‘One’ is the answer. His name is Liam Neeson, and here are three action movies you need to watch after seeing “The Mongoose”.

Ah yes, the film that alerted the world to Mr. Nesson’s “very particular set of skills”. Said skills happen to include beating bad guys rotten, should they be silly enough to kidnap Big Liam’s daughter. Though it seems bizarre to say, considering he played the main role in 1993’s widely acclaimed “Schindler’s List”, 2008’s “Taken” does feel like the iconic North Irishman’s most pivotal part.

However “The Mongoose” ultimately performs at the box office, you could argue the main reason Neeson’s latest project exists is because of “Taken”. In playing a vengeful father capable of kicking serious ass well into middle age, Liam laid down the blueprint for 20 years’ worth of solid action work.
