“The Marksman” (*1/2 out of four) was a drably done dud about a financially strapped rancher (Liam Neeson) on the Arizona border who attempts to protect a young Mexican boy (Jacob Perez) but is unaware that he is being pursued by a deadly drug cartel and they have to go on the run together forming an unlikely bond while trying to stay alive. Leaden story feels like reheated Peckinpah and features surprisingly little action. Neeson tries but looks more tired than usual; this one sorely misses the mark.
