Is his American accent convincing?

To me, it's still very Irish. He can't block that Irish tonality from shining through. Whereas fellow Irish man Colin Farrell nails it.

So, how do you rate it?

Its a similar thing to Connery .. some actors get away with it as they so cool to watch

It's truly horrendous lol.. but nobody cares because Liam Neeson is awesome.

It does really stand out at times though. I think he tries to over-enunciate everything and ends up talking very slow and awkwardly.

The way he says “Kim” is a good example of over doing it.
