Move over Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Van Damme...

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2008)

Not since the 80's and 90's have we seen the "kidnapped daughter, rescuer Daddy" type action movies, It was a pleasure to see one again. Liam Neeson would have been my last choice for this movie, but he turned out to be the perfect choice! His cool and calm demeanor, and his lack of muscles, shows what a true spy or mercenary relies on, his brain. Move over Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Van Damme, its time for some REAL action heroes! The kind that don't need to bench press a Buick to save his kid, or do all these sweet and fancy karate moves (which he did do)... it kinda reminded me of the Indiana Jones movie where the guy pulls out a big sword and Indie just shoots him. Same in this movie, Liam isn't afraid to kill the bad guy with the quickest and most lethal force, he doesn't have time to pussy foot around with the dude showing off his karate skills.
I totally recommend this movie for all action flick lovers. The plot was sound, the action was non-stop and the acting was brilliant. Liam Neeson shone in this movie. Go See It!
