Great action movie

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2009)

Like others here, I had no expectations going in as I knew nothing about this movie. What a pleasant surprise. This is one of the best action movies I've seen in a long time.
Sure, the countless bullets thrown in Neeson's direction all fail to find their mark while his shots are dead-eye accurate but hey, this is a popcorn flick. Sit back and enjoy the show. And I like how Besson doesn't shy away about killing (very) bad guys. A lot of movies have their protagonist go through ethical and moral contortions before taking a life, no matter how much that life deserves to be taken. Neeson's character has no such compunctions. He's getting his daughter and God help anybody who gets in his way. Including old friends.
Highly recommended.
Ordinarily I would not have given this movie 10 stars (maybe 8), but I feel I need to compensate for the idiot who gave this movie one star.
