A good movie, good but harsh.

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2009)

This is a pure adrenaline rush of a movie, non stop with a disturbingly relevant premise to today's world it can make difficult viewing at times.
Liam Neeson, certainly plays the part as a man on a single minded mission focused purely on one thing and one thing only.....to get his daughter back.
She and her friend are very quickly targeted by sex traffickers on their arrival in gay Paris and from that point on this is all about track and revenge, and boy does Neeson take his revenge!
OK, some of the sequences do become a little bit over the top but right to the end your still asking yourself if his daughter is alive and 'intact'.
I have to describe this movie as harsh. The premise about young girls being forced into prostitution is far too relevant in today's society to make this a simple action movie. Therefore it is very difficult to class as 'entertainment' seeing as there is some social commentary involved.
That aside though this is a solid film, and one that will keep your insides twisted right till the end.
