<\/a>It must be those evil bastard eyes.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, we know what you\u2019re thinking. Liam really only ever played a villain in Batman Begins, in which he played the Gotham Destroying Super Ninja Ra\u2019s Al Ghul. The rest of the time, he\u2019s a mind bending, beard wearing, bad guy ass whupper, right? Well, let\u2019s examine some of his more prominent films, starting with what is agreed to be his most iconic movie: Schindler\u2019s List. We can all agree that by the end of the movie, Neeson is a hero, but what about at the beginning of the movie? How many actors do you know of that fall under the category of \u201cNominated for Best Actor for portraying a Goddamn Nazi?\u201d The list is pretty short. Sure, Schindler had a change of heart midway through the movie and started saving Jews, but at the beginning he was a war profiteer who was more than willing to utilize Jewish slave labor if it made him a buck. Also, he was a goddamn Nazi.<\/p>\n
But, that\u2019s just one role. Let\u2019s look at other movies he\u2019s done. The movie Taken starred Neeson as a CIA operative who goes apeshit on some Albanian gangsters after they kidnap his daughter to sell her on the sex slave market. Nothing wrong with that premise, perfectly heroic sounding, until you take a look at his methods, which involved wounding innocent women with guns and freaking torturing a guy by strapping electrodes to his nutsack before leaving him like that. Does that or does than not sound like something an evil sonofabitch would do?<\/p>\n

<\/a>Wounding innocent females with guns and torturing people should be pretty high on your evil list.<\/p><\/div>\n
In the movie Unknown, he was a freaking assassin who had a change of heart following some badly timed amnesia. If he hadn\u2019t whacked his head in a car crash, who knows how many more people he would have whacked? Who knows how many he had killed previously? In Michael Collins, he was a freaking terrorist in disguise, forming the IRA in assassination squad and murdering the shit out anyone that pissed him off. They aren\u2019t even disguising it at this point.<\/p>\n
In The Next Three Days, Gangs of New York, and Les Miserables, he played criminals of one type or another. Hell, in Les Miz his Jean Valjean character walked away from where Captain Barbossa had just thrown himself into the river to keep himself from arresting Neeson with a goddamn smile on his face. In K-19 the Widowmaker, not only was he a Soviet officer, making him one of a few actors to play both kinds of generic Hollywood bad guys in the course of his career, but he was a mutinous officer who imprisoned Harrison Ford, a major no no in cinema. In Rob Roy, he plays a Scotsman who essentially flipped off a nobleman and then hid in the hills, leaving his wife and children at the mercy of the English, and was therefore in a position to do nothing except keep his kilt from riding up while his wife was raped, livestock killed and home burned to the ground. Doesn\u2019t seem so heroic, does it?<\/p>\n

<\/a>Not unless you root for the destruction of lifestock.<\/p><\/div>\n
Now we\u2019re getting into the real evil in disguise roles here. In Clash of the Titans, he portrayed Zeus, king of the Gods, and extremely pissed off that the humans wouldn\u2019t worship him anymore. So what does he do? He sends his total dick of a brother Hades down there to mess them up a little and when it turns out that the whole thing was orchestrated by Hades as part of a hostile takeover via Kraken ass kicking, what did Zeus do? Unless you count standing in the middle of his Olympian palace with his shiny armor in a dramatic fashion, absolutely NOTHING. Seems a little dickish to me.<\/p>\n
But, you say, what about Aslan from Chronicles of Narnia? He\u2019s the Lion Christ! There is absolutely nothing wrong with that character! True, until you consider that \u00a0even with all his godly lion powers and such he decided the best course of action was to arm a bunch of schoolchildren with medieval weaponry and sent them off to fight evil hordes while he sat on his ass preaching morality and waiting till the last minute to show up and save everyone\u2019s ass.<\/p>\n
