Very good action movie

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2012)

This is a very good action movie.
Of course it could not be as good as its predecessor which is arguably the best action movie ever made. However it has the same spirit and has some good scenes and one-liners.
I don't understand why some reviewers said that, unlike the original, this movie does not take itself seriously. It does. There is nothing funny about it.
It is very well acted especially by Liam Neeson which is so good he can make such an unlikely character seem totally believable. His voice is very expressive.
Also, there are no scenes that are far-fetched or not believable by the standards of the series. In particular, the scene where Liam gives directions to his daughter via phone is not less credible than many things in the first movie.
Actions movies rarely get any better.
