Fun action movie

Rating: 7/10 (10 February 2019)

I really enjoyed this movie. Neeson's character Bryan is a great hero who you can't help root for. The plot is so very much flawed. How can one man kill so many people and cause so much carnage in Paris and get away with it but hey, it's a movie so why not. The action sequences are great, and it's cool having an older hero. My only real complaint is his daughter. Maggie Grace who is an adult plays her character as if she is a 12 year old, riding a pony and running like a demented schoolgirl. It's so wrong. You actually want her to be taken and returned in a body bag by the end. I always struggle also as to why his three special ops buddies don't actuslly help him either. He could have done with some back up surely. Neeson makes this movie and it totally reinvented his career, spawning many more classic action movies so I can't help but feel affection for this film.
