The time for revenge has come.

Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2009)

Bryan Mills, a retired CIA operative, needs to set about tracking down his teenage daughter, Kim, after she and her friend are kidnapped by slave traders while traveling in Paris.
I must say now: This is an audience pleaser. The chances an average movie goer like you is going to not like this movie is very slim. With a mix of the Jason Bourne movies, "Casino Royale," and "Live Free or Die Hard," I found it entertaining as hell and the first kinetic, fantastic action movie this year. Who would've known Liam Neeson could play an action hero at this age?
The movie starts off really well. I almost teared up seeing the authentic father/daughter relationship. I'm just a sucker for those things. Minutes later, the action starts and the action in here is a little above par but not as good as you would think. The car chases aren't that great but overall, they're mindless enough for you not to care. Some scenes are just brutal, though, and one might think how this movie got away with a PG-13 rating.
Liam Neeson, as said earlier, does a great job as the next Jason Bourne looking for revenge. The directing job is pretty good too, along with the editing. Overall, there's nothing else to say. Will it entertain you? Hell, yes. Is this an amazing film? No, but it shouldn't matter.
