Liam Neeson vs. Horses

Liam Neeson is an actor, and a good one. Recently, he’s been playing a new role: defender of New York’s anachronistic carriage-horse industry. He’s attacked the part with all the gusto of recent star turns in movies like Non-Stop and Taken. But just like those roles, it’s a fictional portrayal that’s short on facts and heavy on action-hero posturing and show biz theatrics.
