Liam Neeson is a fugitive hero in high-speed 'The Mongoose' trailer

Liam Neeson is back on the run in the first trailer for the new thriller 'The Mongoose.' Per The Hollywood Reporter, Neeson plays a wrongfully accused Afghan war hero leading the Texas Highway Patrol on a cross-country chase.

The footage, described by JoBlo as 'high-octane,' shows the action star evading the law behind the wheel of a classic 1965 Shelby Cobra. The movie is set to race into theaters this fall.

It seems Neeson's particular set of skills now includes some serious driving, as he rules the road in this fast-paced chase film.
