Creators of B13 spin an all new web of an intelligent yet uber-brutal spy thriller

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2008)

I knew nothing of this film. I had seen B13 and almost all of Luc Besson's work, and I think he is one of the best out there. Someone told me this film is written by Besson and directed by B13 helmer Pierre, so I thought this would be just another mindless fun actioner , but good god, was i wrong or what? This is an amazing film, and running at a pace of 93 minutes, you won't even know when it started and finished, and will leave you craving for some more. The fight scenes are exhilarating, the car chases are slick, and the way in which Neeson dishes out his own brand of justice is just plain super. We had no romantic interconnections, no boring humdrum or anything to loosen our grips on the tight narrative.Even then, this ain't your usual Statham action film, Neeson is a great actor, just check out the scene when he hears his daughter screaming while being kidnapped , and his lines after that, just before the "Good Luck", i knew this film was gonna be kick-ass at that moment, but i never expected so much. Our Spy Neeson doesn't trails, he kills. He knows how to get revenge, and how....A bloody brilliant action movie.
