since when did Liam Neeson become Rambo

Rating: 6/10 (7 December 2009)

Neeson's character, Bryan Mills, is referred to Rambo by some of his ex spy buddies in the beginning of the film. And as it turns out, he turns into a sort of Rambo later while trying to find his daughter. Neeson is not an action star, which was the main problem with this movie. It wasn't believable.
Mills daughter, Kim, goes to Paris with a friend and gets kidnapped a few hours after arriving. It just so happens she is talking to her dad when the kidnappers strike. So Mills goes to Paris and all by himself he hunts down the Albanians and kills people left and right. Mills doesn't even ask any of his ex spy buddies to help out.
Mills ex wife was the worst character. She lies to him to get him to sign the papers to let their daughter go; Plus she doesn't even seem concerned that her 17 year old daughter is going to Europe with one friend. Then when her daughter is kidnapped, she's not going nuts saying call the police. And the ending was terrible when Mills and Kim return home. Her dad just saved her from being a sex slave and she doesn't even want him to come home with her.
FINAL VERDICT: It has some good action, but I think the lead actor was miscast. But still good enough to check out.
