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 has become an angry drunk, unable to connect with his son Mike, a retired professional boxer who mentors at-risk kids at the local gym. Disgusted by his father's actions, Mike refuses to call him "Dad" or involve him in the lives of his daughters, Catelyn and Lily.
Jimmy's old boss and closest friend, Shawn Maguire, 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, working 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, 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, 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.
