Director: Olivier Megaton (Transporter 3 & Colombiana)
Starring: Liam Neeson (Schindler's List & The Grey); Famke Janssen (X-Men & Taken)
Running Time: 91 Minutes
With an opening weekend in the US of $50m, there should be no doubt in your mind that wanting to go and watch Neeson kick some ass is a priority! It's the same 'plot' per say however this time, Neeson get's kidnapped! Before you know it though, he's out of the pickle and starts his rain of beat downs and monotone dialogue on the baddies all with some help from his daughter. It was overall a very enjoyable but fairly predictable movie that came to an end pretty quickly. My only gripe, the fight scenes were shot badly. I wanted to see exactly how he disarmed the thug, snuck his fist into his left nostril and broke his right leg all at the same time...but alas, you're left feeling dizzy from the short, sharp shots! Pity. I'm not gonna give you anything more about the story but I will leave you with this quote that sends shivers down my spine everytime I remember it: "If I kill you, your other sons will come and seek revenge and I will kill them too."

Neeson may be a getting a bit too old for these types of roles but for the time he’s up on-screen, he at least has fun with it and that generates pretty positively to the crowd. Good review Jason.
Won't be long before he ends up shooting the breeze in the remake of the 'Bucket list' ;) Thanks for the comment!
