Theme error

Rating: 2/10 (25 January 2013)

There are a diverse collection of errors in this film that are from various fields of knowledge. Turkey-Albania border pass belongs to the geography field. A teenager lacking the skills to pass a driving test in USA with an automatic car becoming a total drifter in a foreign metropol with a manual transmission car best fits to the logic errors section. There are many more but the main problem was the moment that the audience is assumed to have forgotten the main theme.
The biggest flaw for me was a single scene, which destroyed the whole motto in the film and turned it into a themeless action scene bundle. At the beginning, the Albanian mafia men were presented as deliriously loyal to their fallen friends such that they chase an ex-CIA agent, who has just managed to destroy their entire crime organization in a few days, in a foreign country. However, when Neeson and a mafia man came into a position that they point guns to each other, things changed abruptly. Neeson threatened the men by killing his friend, but the Albanian, without any hesitation, responded by brutally killing his own teammate by his own gun. Interesting choice for a film, whose main theme was woven with the desire to take loved ones' revenge.
