I would recommend this over most movies

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2009)

Indeed this movie has its flaws, particularly some of the scenes in the last twenty minutes. People have complained that these scenes were too unrealistic and I recognize that criticism. What those critics need to understand is simply that this movie is only an hour and a half, and at least an hour of it was very realistic. If this movie was two hours long then I could really identify with those critics.
Anyways the particularly objectionable scene in the movie is when he jumps onto the boat from a bridge and proceeds to disable twenty or so men with little resistance. Liam Neilson didn't even get shot at once in that scene! Regardless, it was over quickly...
Moving on to the things that are good about this movie, I was really quite impressed by how Liam Neilson did that urban climbing to reach into the scene of the crime. It really draws you into the movie into the movie in the beginning and then it is non-stop action, and it is much more realistic then most action movies. Liam Neilson is quite simply awesome and he really helped make this movie what it is.
Some people say that this movie is "propoganda for the new world order" or something similar because Liam Neilson tortures people to find his daughter. Most people who watch this movie would eventually recognize that what Liam Neilson has done is not worth it and they won't come out thinking "torture is a great idea". I mean even the police were after him for how he destroyed countless pieces of property and he stole peoples cars.
If anything you realize that Liam Neilson in this movie really likes to torture and kill people after all they were suggesting that was what his profession was and that is what he was doing every single day (because he liked it). The only question is why the heck did he retire? He seemed like he would still be good at his old job...
If anything you will come out of this movie thinking that fathers should be more protective of their daughters until they get a husband, and I can speak from experience in saying that, that is a good idea.
