Excellent Thriller!

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2010)

I was blown away by this, without a doubt a movie you cannot afford to miss.
Full of action and unbelievable thrills. There isn't a moment throughout the whole movie where you aren't hooked to the storyline.
This movie is about father and former spy, Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) learning to let his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace) grow up and start living her life by giving his permission to let her go to Paris.
As he is aware of all the dangers and what horrible people are out there, he is extremely hesitant about letting her go, but says she can on certain conditions.
Whilst taking her to the airport he finds out she is going with her friend to follow a band travelling and is not at all impressed, but still accepts and lets her go on the conditions. One most important one is to call him when she lands.
When she lands and goes to get into a cab, Kim and her friend Amanda meet a French young man quite interested in getting to know them. Offers them invites to a party and not missing a beat, Kim accepts. Much to Amandas disagreement.
When they arrive at the place they are staying the French man gets their address and leaves. Bryan is then home in America very concerned that Kim has not contacted him to say they have landed. He then calls her and asks out what's going on, and that's where it's all thrills from there.
{MAJOR SPOILERS} Whilst on the phone to her father Kim walks into another room, Amanda however is in the living room dancing to loud music, blocking out any noise. Kim then enters the bathroom across from where Amanda is and can see her through the windows. Suddenly she says men walk in and becomes very suspicious, they then take Amanda away and Kim is petrified at this moment.
She explains hysterically to Bryan what she has just witnessed over the phone and he instructs her what to do. She runs to another room and hides under the bed. She is then told by her father that they are going to take her and there is nothing she can do to stop them. But the one key thing he needs her to do is to shout out all descriptions of the men. Facial, clothes, nationality, pretty much appearance. While doing so she shouts and is dragged away, with the mobile phone still under the bed. Bryan stays on the phone to see if there is anything else he can hear. He then hears someone pick up the phone and says a few threatening words, it's quite a speech so I shall cut it a bit shorter: "I don't know who you are, I don't know what you want. If you let my daughter go that will be the end of it. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." A foreign man then replies with 'Good luck' That good luck is the key thing throughout most of the film, so take much notice of it.
If you are not gripped enough yet I suggest you go and rent the film yourself, better yet buy it. It is an AMAZING film that I have watched many times and purchased myself. It doesn't get old. It just gets better.
10/10
