Neeson rises above a B level bourne / Jack Bauer

Rating: 7/10 (4 September 2008)

This film does what you expect, but it covers a few issues that might have been the very reason Neeson signed on. Kidnapping, prostitution, sex slavery, immigration etc.
The action and fight scenes are fine, but too heavily cut at times for you to actually see some of the moves. Some points in the film everyone just gets shot easily and quickly. Which take away the gritty realism the film was trying to achieve.
There are few good scenes with Neeson and Grace on the phone where he tells her she will be kidnapped. Other then that it just about rises above the direct to DVD action movies we Segal doing right now.
