A feel good action thriller

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2010)

This is one of the more enjoyable thrillers for quite some time. There is a good human element and story. There is a lot of action but because the way it is directed, it never seems too violent. You feel on Leeson's side for most of the killing and shooting. Pace and directing are excellent.
As usual they have to stereotype ethnic minorities and wealthy foreigners as villains but its a small flaw in the movie.
Maggie Grace is a bit large and ungainly looking and acts a bit silly and gushy for a 17 year old but I guess she wouldn't be in that position if she had been more sensible. It's a bit hard to believe she would be worth so many Euros to anyone.
A good warning for teens abroad too.
