Liam is the driving force in the movie

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2009)

I did see this movie on opening weekend but I have not gotten the chance to sit down and write my review for it. Now that I finally have the chance here it goes. I won't bother in mentioning the plot for the trailers show plenty of it (but not necessarily all of it). This movie is an action flick, and I love action, but that is not the main reason why I enjoyed it.
Over the years, I have seen Liam Neeson in many movies and even if the film is horrible, he makes something out of it. He gives an exceptional performance. His role his rather unique, because I'm not used to him as a leading action hero, nonetheless, he pulls it off and adds both humane and grim layers to his character, which I love (you'll see what
I mean by this when you watch the film). The rest of the movie is solid, ranging from the excellent car and on-foot pursuits, to the gun battles, hand-to-hand combat and the interesting plots and surprising emotional impact. It's good, but Liam is the driving force. I rooted for him throughout the movie.
Overall rating *** out of ****
