Rubbish

Rating: 1/10 (1 November 2010)

I just cant believe this rotten egg has gotten so many positive reviews? It really is total rubbish. You have to be quite numb to enjoy this nonsense. Realism? Here goes: Random guys can easily enter a mega-stars concert, despite tight security (and never mind motivation, after all, all it takes in the US is for the viewer to be a garden variety paranoid ignoramus) to put a knife in some bimbo singer? Ask Britney,probably happens all the time. Later, some bad guys can just walk into an apartment to kidnap some girls. Superhero Neeson on the other hand, has to enter one level below, then has to climb to get to the apartment, break window etc. Well, I guess the director wants us to know he's a bit Spiderman too. Or did he forget his lock-picking gear at home? Then when he gets the spotter at the airport killed, he doesn't go for his phone (which would lead him to the bad guys I should presume), no lets do it the hard way so that we can show you hes proficient in operating a number of gadgets etc. Constructionworkers line up to pay for sex with drugged and kidnapped girls, and nobody on site finds anything wrong with it, quite everyday stuff in western Europe right? And the French interior ministry being in cahoots with the naughty Albanians behind it all? When Neeson "negotiate" the ministry's end he gets his 20% from a little box, all in all some few thousands of euros. Hello? And wheres the police involvement on both sides of the Atlantic? To top it off, Neesons characters relationship with his daughter is bordering on the incestuous. Jesus you yanks have gotten so paranoid and ignorant it's unbearable. Don't watch this pathetic excuse for a thriller, you'll catch something nasty.
