Liam Neeson cleans up mess of bad guys in `Blacklight'

A Liam Neeson actionthriller where he demonstrates his particular set of skills yet again tops the DVD releases for the week of May 3.

• `Blacklight': Neeson stars as Travis Block, a shadowy government operative who does clean up work for the FBI, getting agents that are deep undercover out of sticky situations.

`Director Mark Williams (the 2020 Neeson thriller `Honest Thief'), who also co-wrote the script, pays lip service to our current political climate with references to `the millennial soapbox crowd' and `gotcha moments on Twitter,' but it's basically the same Neeson in slightly different clothing,' writes Detroit News critic Adam Graham in his review.

`It's been 14 years since `Taken' sent the actor into pure action movie mode, and while occasionally something interesting slips through the cracks (`Cold Pursuit,' `Run All Night'), this one fades from memory pretty quickly. Hopefully the next one is better.'

• `The Good Fight: Season Five': Mandy Patinkin joins the cast for the fifth season of the Paramount+ legal drama that stars Christine Baranski as lawyer Diane Lockhart.

`Without Remorse':

Based on the 1993 Tom Clancy book, this Amazon Prime Video action film features Michael B. Jordan as a Navy SEAL who becomes embroiled in a revenge plot and CIA conspiracy after his wife is murdered.

On digital HD May 3

• `Belle': Japanese animated film about a shy high school girl in real life who has an online persona as an internationally famed singer, Belle.

• `Dinosaur World': When a group of contestants gather to take part in a competition held in a virtual reality ruled by dinosaurs, winning becomes secondary to the more primal goal of survival.
