good tuff guy movie

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2008)

My brother almost begged me to see this movie. To my surprise it delivered. It was a very entertaining movie with nice action over a thin plot.
As some will say, nothing new as far as retired tuff guy that is an overprotective pops. Very little in the area of father daughter development, but enough for you to get the idea.
I always look at a movie, whether its a rehashed idea or not, and try to figure out what they will do to make their movie different from the previous copies. Well one thing Liam brings is a toughness and "nice" ruthlessness that I thoroughly enjoyed.
When looking just at the previews I wondered, how this guy was going to find some kidnappers 1k kilos away from where he was. And if he did, I felt that it would be so phony that after that point I wouldn't even care. This movie was so "believable" that it made me feel like, this dude could probably find bin Laden the same way! For any action lovers, I don't think you will be disappointed
