Bit of a plane wreck

Rating: 5/10 (6 September 2014)

I you like I are a fan of Liam Neeson and his brand of anti-hero acting then this is for you. This is a Taken but not quite sort of movie. I really enjoyed the feel and the way this movie was presented.
Liam is also really on form in this movie and the addition of Julianne Moore makes for an interesting counterpoint in terms of acting.
However even with the two great people in this movie the film feels too formulaic. It plods from one action scene to the next with not much else happening to keep the suspense. I am not sure if this movie is trying to be a suspense movie or an action movie.
The way that everything seems to be setup just right, he always has the right amount of information, the right amount of this or that, does the right thing etc for the movie to be able to move to the next scene. It feels a little clumped together and not smooth running. Shame, could have been a brilliant movie.
Worth a watch if you are a fan of action flicks or Liam but really only worth a once over.
