Liam Neeson made this movie

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2009)

I was debating whether to give this a 7 or 8, but I gave it an 8 based on how much fun it was to watch Liam Neeson. This movie would have been nothing with anyone else in the role. Nothing was overtly wrong with the movie and nothing was great except Neeson's performance. I loved story flowed a little too nicely and he got his information almost too quickly, but I bought it and was easily overlooked. It was interesting that I almost looked forward to Neeson's dialog more than his action, but both complimented each other in a way you rarely ever see in action movies. I honestly like Luc Besson probably more than I should and I will not hide that fact. I do not think this is a particularly good movie, but it was a lot of fun to watch at least once. I may never watch this again, but if it is on cable in 10 years I will probably linger.
