Neeson's a hotshot in new Naked Gun reboot
Scottish Daily Express
|July 31, 2025
COMEDY movies aren’t what they used to be. Gone are the days of original 90-minute funny films putting bums on cinema seats.
Modern comedies, often with scripts suffering from political correctness, have largely been relegated to direct-to-streaming and are usually forgotten within a week. Yet Paramount Pictures has taken the gamble of rebooting The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson taking over from Leslie Nielsen.
And we're very happy to report it has massively paid off, with a very welcome return to the kind of absurdist comedy movie that Hollywood just doesn’t really make any more.
