OMG- If you are a fan of swift justice- watch, but with caution.

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2012)

Liam Neeson packs a punch- this guy can do everything. This is an incredible film which documents the gruelling lengths a loving and 'specially skilled' father will go through to get their child back safe. It's one of those films you have to watch with caution and with a pinch of salt- the subject matter is dark, one of the darkest I have ever seen. Think of the worse crime in the world, the worse thing you could do- to me this film hit an issue that scares me to no end. You see human trafficking in the newspapers and grit your teeth with anger. This film will give you satisfaction for the violence brought onto the perpetrators.
The flow of the film is good,it sets the characters up quickly, shows the disrupted family unit; the spoiled but loving child, rich (thinks he's god)step-father, and bitch (happy families) mother, and of course...the protagonist; the biological father with a secret past.
The film was a thrill ride the rest of the way through- your suspicions as the film goes along turns to everybody, and following the protagonist 's techniques on tracking is fast, flawless and (how justice should be done)- if they're bad- kill them, if they have answers- torture them...no cushy lawyers necessary.
And we are given a more or less happy ending- to that particular family. But the issues brought up are still out that - pause for thought.
