Ridiculous

Rating: 3/10 (26 December 2012)

After his daughter is kidnapped, a CIA agent goes after the bad guys with a vengeance. It is interesting that writer Bresson receives before the title screen credit because the script here is atrocious, nearly as bad as his "La Femme Nikita." It starts off as merely sub-par in the expository scenes, where the cardboard characters are introduced, including a 17- year-old daughter who looks about 25 and behaves like 12. Then the kidnapping occurs and the film becomes increasingly ridiculous. Neeson single-handedly takes out about seven hundred bad guys in Paris while barely getting a scratch on himself. And he does this with a straight face. The guy makes James Bond look like a wimp.
