great action

Rating: 7/10 (22 September 2008)

Non-stop action with Liam Neeson turning Paris upside down as he desperately searches for his abducted daughter. Pierre Morel (director) and Luc Besson (who co-wrote and produced the film) bet on action, spectacular chases scenes and gritty action sequences. The movie is really violent, with Paris being an exciting backdrop for the thrilling tale; Liam Neeson is utterly convincing, proving to be a very skilled actor in any roles he plays. Runtime is quite short but the film tells everything and gets to be satisfying, even moving in the end (though a bit unrealistic...). It's enjoyable on the whole, not a masterpiece but pleasant.
