Run All Night is a 2015 American action crime thriller film directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and written by Brad Ingelsby. The film stars Liam Neeson, Joel Kinnaman, Common and Ed Harris, and was released on March 13, 2015.
Haunted by the ghosts of his past, former Irish mob enforcer Jimmy "The Gravedigger" Conlon (Liam Neeson) has become an angry drunk, unable to connect with his son Mike (Joel Kinnaman), a retired professional boxer who mentors at-risk kids at the local gym. Disgusted by his father's actions, Mike refuses to involve him in the lives of his daughters, Catelyn and Lily.
Jimmy's old boss and closest friend, Shawn Maguire (Ed Harris), rejects an offer to allow sale of Albanian heroin in his territory. His son Danny, who received a large fee to arrange the deal, is told to return the money or suffer the consequences.
Mike, moonlighting as a chauffeur, takes the two Albanian creditors to Danny's house. The deal goes bad once Danny reveals that he doesn't have the money, and a brief shootout ensues which kills one of the Albanians. The other Albanian, wounded, stumbles out of Danny's flat and attempts to escape, only to be shot dead by Danny. The events are witnessed by Mike and Legs, an at-risk kid from the local gym, and are captured on Legs's phone. Danny spots Mike witnessing the murder from his limousine and attempts to kill him, only for Mike to escape.
Jimmy gets Mike to promise not to rat out Danny. As he's leaving Mike's house, he spots Danny trying to kill his son and shoots him before Danny can fire. Shawn sends dirty cops to pick up Mike and kill him, but Jimmy rescues him and takes him to his family. He meets Shawn and tells him both that Danny was about to kill his son and that he might have to speak to the cops about his criminal past; Shawn furiously says that the cops don't care about anything Jimmy knows that that he will first kill Mike and his family and then let Jimmy feel what he feels (losing his son) before he finally ends Jimmy's life. Jimmy sends Mike's family to a remote cabin and takes Mike with him to retrieve proof of his innocence. Andrew Price (Common), an assassin hired by Shawn, intercepts them before they can collect the evidence. Jimmy is able to subdue him, but is shot in the process. Jimmy later contacts Det. Harding (Vincent D'Onofrio), an honest cop who has never been able to build a case against Jimmy. Harding says that witnesses say that Mike was the shooter instead of Danny, but Jimmy is able to more or less make a deal with him: he'll prove Mike was innocent and then turn himself in with a list of all the people he murdered in his mob career.
The two hide at Jimmy's brother Eddie's house, where Eddie reveals that Jimmy only has loyalty to Shawn - he once killed his own cousin to prevent him testifying against Shawn. Disgusted and unwilling to trust his father, Mike leaves Jimmy and returns to his family. Seeking to end the blood feud, Jimmy attacks Shawn's hideout and kills his gang. Jimmy tracks Shawn down to some nearby train tracks and stationary trains where he gets the drop on his boss and best friend, shooting him and staying by his side as Shawn dies.
Mike goes to the cabin and alerts the police to his location, not knowing that a neighborhood kid who trained at Mike's gym has turned over evidence showing the truth about Mike's innocence. Jimmy goes to Mike and his wife's cabin, shocking his son by revealing he murdered Shawn and his gang, where he first meets his grandchildren (and is first identified by his son as their grandfather). Mike takes his family out while he thinks over his mistakes. Price returns and attacks the cabin, shooting Jimmy and then hunting down Mike. Mike flees and tries to shoot Price, whose body armor and superior training protects him; Mike swiftly runs out of ammunition. Jimmy, struggling with his mortal wound, manages to kill Price just as he corners Mike. Mike runs up to Jimmy and finally calls him as "Dad", showing that he has at last accepted him as his father. The police arrive and clear Mike of the murders as Jimmy dies, holding the list of his past victims as promised to Det. Harding. Later on, Mike is seen at his house, preparing for work. He takes one last look at a picture of him and his dad, having finally forgiven him for his past.
