Makes Jack Bauer look like a girl scout

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2009)

This movie keeps you riveted from the time of the kidnapping. Before, as Brian, a divorced father, is trying to reconcile with his daughter, he can only tell her that he used to "work for the government" (as indeed, a friend who lives near Langley said he has a bunch of neighbors who "work for the government".
About all Brian reveals to his daughter is that he used to "prevent bad things from happening".
He reluctantly gives his daughter permission to "go to Paris" with her friend, and like most 17 year olds then ignores all of his warnings and admonitions.
Liam's character is a lot more believable than a Jason Bourne or James Bond - he is just a concerned father trying to save his daughter - who happens to have accrued some special skills.
I guarantee that you will not be bored or leave early with this movie...
