so once again, Lliam Neeson plays a tough guy role. movie starts out, he's a retired merc, droppin' a visit on his daughter's birthday party. he gets into a typical argument with his ex-wife. she all "what are you doing here? you get her on the weekend" and blah blah blah. he doesn't hit her, i don't know why. but c'mon, is this how it is in real life? don't broken up couples ever just act nice to each other? so Lliam's daughter is a totally spoiled rich girl. she gets a pony for her birthday, right? and then the following day she begs her daddy to fly her to Europe, and when he says he'll think about it, she cries and throws a ridiculous temper tantrum. this little (swear word) just got a PONY FOR HER (SWEAR WORD)ING BIRTHDAY! so he struggles with the guilt of breaking his little ungrateful daughter's heart, and lets her take a trip to Europe. and then the best thing that could ever happen happens. she gets kidnapped by a bunch of human traffickers! cool! so, obviously, Lliam Neeson beats up a million guys in some really cool fight sequences, gets her back, she overcomes her trauma, and pursues her passion of becoming a famous pop singer by receiving vocal lessons from some super star bimbo. yeah, that's really the happy ending! it's the most shocking part. this spoiled brat wasn't humbled, but spoiled EVEN MORE in the end. suck.
