Xenophobic pap with bad script, soundtrack, character portrayals, etc.

Rating: 1/10 (21 October 2012)

A complete xenophobic clown boat. I was prepared to see something action-y and fairly OK, but this went off the cliff from the start. To begin with, have no preconceptions of any kind of good cinematography, soundtrack, acting, script, character preparation, plot changes or anything that will stir the pot in this one. No imagination seems to have gone into this film, and that's another huge blow against Luc Besson, who actually co-wrote this mess. Where Liam Neeson goes on and on to kill, murder and maim people just to get hold of his daughter, there are a few other aspects here: foreigners are bad, kidnapping is bad, killing anybody to get hold of your kidnapped child is OK. This film has just interrupted the thinking process completely. I've got no qualms of watching brain-dead films, but when it comes to the point where you question the ethics that the film itself brings to life as there's just too much hypocrisy, it's just zany. Fawk this. Go watch some other action crap, it's most likely a lot better than this.
