Just so...so bad

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I found it funny and entertaining.The entire cast was good - yes, even William Hurt...though the parents roles weren't much developed.The movie wasn't about the parents...and maybe Denis Leary's part could have been a bit bigger.I like the work he does...he draws so much character.This is a cross between Home Alone and Die Hard but set in Europe and with a brush of comedy.I think it was well written and kept a good pace...The best action movie ever made? no...not at all...but it kept me interested...and it beats many other films which I own.

Well, first 10 minutes of the movie are convincing. However, starting with the murder, the whole movie starts sinking down the drain of stupid development, silly dialogs, unbelievable characters and of course - bad acting. Were all smoking pot when they were doing this movie or what ?Ten year old girl kicking bad guy left and right, jumping moving elevators and tall building, being accused of smoking pot (yes, by the police), silly parents, a bad guy so nervous and shaking, only to become a Terminator and deliver some super stunt drive in the end of the movie.Let me just say it ruined my evening tonight. If this is what European directors are able to come up with, then it is a shame. To be avoided at all cost.

I don't know what people wanted to do here, I don't now either if this was a comedy, thriller or what...A 10 years old girl escaping from a "pro-murderer", giving him some pain, driving cars, kicking faces, jumping from the roof of a 10 floor hotel, jumping from elevators... Are we stupid or Amsterdam's police department are more stupid than us? Home Alone was so much better than this and Arnold Schwarzeneger would like to fight just like this 10 years old lady. This is the worse movie ever...Something good about this movie??? I don't think so...1 out of 10 (overrated)

The problem with this is that the movie wasn't intended to be. I can't imagine one would finance this movie without reading the script. My better half somewhat enjoyed the movie and couldn't understand why I was laughing hysterically, especially at the finish. The only thing that really disappointed me was the fact that the little girl didn't regain her voice due to the trauma of riding a gurney through the streets of Amsterdam. William Hurt's voice WAS weird, and I also like Jenifer Tilly despite of her obvious acting talents. Overall, one of the most poorly crafted movies I've ever ever seen. I put the 2nd "ever" in there to get my ten lines.
