Someone Screwed Up

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2009)

Half-way through this movie I turned to my wife and said "Someone screwed-up." She asked what I meant and I replied "Someone should have tapped out Liam Neeson to play James Bond."
My favorite Bond has always been Sean Connery. The way Neeson played his character in this movie I could have imagined Connery playing the same role twenty years ago. They both have that charismatic style to put their enemies at ease just long enough to get within striking distance.
I've always enjoyed Liam's performances. From Excalibur, Rob Roy, Star Wars and every thing else. I don't think I've ever seen him in a bad performance. Maybe a bad movie (Krull) but not a bad performance.
If the powers-that-be ever decide to get away from the "Bad Boy Bond" and back to the classic style then they need to look at this movie. The only thing missing was someone to say that he no longer had a "License to Kill".
