More of the same

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2014)

I just wanted to have 90 more minutes of Liam Neeson kicking some faces. I got what I wanted and then some.
So this film not only offers the tension, the action, the hand-to-hand combat you have come to expect from this guy, it also offers a fantastic car chase with an unlikely driver, in a very nice location, at a great pace, with a fun outcome as well.
Of course many of the moments of this movie are outrageous and ridiculous, like having somebody throw grenades around the city, with apparently nobody getting killed, even nobody notifying the police; gratuitous hand-to-hand combat in some very public places, with violent outcomes, and apparently the authorities are very incompetent. This film also deserves like five Bad Timing Awards, but I guess I was able to get along with all of that for the sake of entertainment.
I understand all of those negative reviews out there; they were expecting some things from this film and it didn't deliver. In all honesty, I had a lot of fun watching this.
The family had a very nice turn of events during the film; I take it as a subtle commentary on the industry out there, in which every relationship has to die. Even though that plot was secondary to the purpose of the film, I found it very fun to watch, too.
I'd wish more people to feel entertained by this movie as I feel.
