The top comment makes a really good point though:

"He's 68. I'm guessing they stitched it together like this because "geriatric spends 30 seconds scaling chainlink fence then breaks a hip" doesn't exactly make for riveting action flick fare."

Lingering shots are horrible for obscuring things.



Keanu Reeves was 57-8 when he shot the last John Wick. IIRC Bob Odenkirk was 58 in Nobody. Neeson was 60 in Taken 3.

There ways to shoot an action scene with an aging star that doesn't involve 14 cuts in 4 seconds. You just have to care about your craft.


Movies have stunt performers.

And Neeson was only 60 when filming Taken 3.
