Fantastic!
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreHow many more of these is L.N. going to make. Boring acting, no heart in it at all. Going through the motions to get a paycheck. Stupid ending, not realistic in anyway. Weak action scenes, no suspense. What tombstones are they walking through. One scene in a graveyard, even if it's used metaphorically. Very much of a waste of time. The premise is absolutely ridiculous so far fetched it's like we have no minds. Thanks but no thanks. Please Liam no more, just put some effort into a real movie that forces you to actually act.
View MoreMy roommate and I don't usually rent porn together, but this was different. This just so happened to be the worst porn I've ever rented. Terrible plot. Who would believe a bunch of big, strong-armed Russian men would take so much time to kidnap the daughter of a karate-master?? I thought maybe after the whole "Taken" situation they would regroup and maybe collaborate with Liam, I mean look at all the connection he has! And I'm sure he'd be happy to redirect their business model into a legal opportunity for the underpaid minority of white middle-aged women Lots of beautiful of-age women that would ask for next-to-nothing to do the scenes! Didn't believe anyone was really into the script the whole movie. Liam really got screwed on this movie, but it certainly wasn't on-camera! Soft-Core at best.
View MoreI thought this film was a surprise-a Liam Neeson film that had a whole bunch of bloopers in it that I missed completely the first time I saw it. A character gets killed in a shoot out in the park only to seemingly reappear minutes later (he looks almost identical to another actor) and a guy who has been obliterated by several shots fired at virtually point blank range is shown to have survived by wearing a bullet proof vest but a few minutes later is shown dying with the other guy who has just been killed very much alive standing beside Liam Neeson's character watching bullet proof vest guy die. Confusing. Then the bulletproof vest guy guy who has died in the park reappears minutes later injured in a van with his cohort. Whatever. I think the film has some good ideas which are obliterated by this lack of internal logic not at the very end but close to the very end-like they all of a sudden just up and gave up on the film. I think many films pass at first viewing but not at the second one where you are more apt to pick up on an errors in them and sometimes there are really big errors in the film that can really take away from the films appeal. The fact the film is about two off the charts bad guys doesn't change the fact it bombs because of flow errors. I think they made this film too fast.
View MoreLiam Neeson in a thriller about kidnapping (what, again? yes, again). It's well acted, but there are just too many problems with it, mainly plot-related. It goes from place to place in a weird way, seems to go one way but goes to another. But mainly it's just pointless. At least twice during the movie I thought it's the end, but it continued. When it actually ended, I thought: So what's the point?Side note: All the gun fights scenes were incredibly loud. I don't know if that's a problem of the film or the cinema itself - because all the other scenes were in decent volume - but those scenes (especially all the guns firing) were so incredibly loud that it actually hurt my ears (or perhaps I shouldn't go to the cinema with a headache/migraine).
