One of the best recent action films

Rating: 8/10 (25 October 2012)

First I should note that my scoring system is very rigorous: only excellent films manage to register an 8/10, 95% of films register lower scores.
This film represents everything that is good about actions films. It is a well executed action thriller without many noticeable flaws. In fact, it is perhaps one of the best action film of the last 5 years, only the Bourne films were as good as this one. A film of pure energy and aggression.
Interestingly, this film marked the change of career for Liam Neeson, who once did serious dramas and now makes action movies, at the age of 60! He was 56 when he did this film and he still looked quite young, thanks to modern makeup techniques.
