slightly deceptive, possibly on purpose

Just been thinking why, while I found this an enjoyable flick, it felt dishonest somehow

I feel like they were misleading us a bit by calling it "The Marksman" and casting Bryan Mills in the title role. I figured the film would show off or at least revolve around Jim Hanson's "particular set of skills" as a marksman.

Instead, we get a 60-something near-everyman on the run, making normal human mistakes and doing nothing we might not expect from a normal healthy guy of Neeson's age, versus say an older Bobby Swagger (Mark Wahberg's "Shooter" character).

I liked the final confrontation, where he beats the villain with words more than bullets. But I have to admit it wasn't what I plunked down my cash for.

Again, just my feelings on it, but this seemed like a human drama being sold to us as an action hero flick.
