Appalling

Rating: 1/10 (3 February 2015)

I've always liked Liam Neeson in movies. But this one? I can't blame him for the script or direction or stunts. But I beg the question why Liam? He's far too old to be playing an action here but with the wig in place and a bit of plastic surgery on the face he passes for 60.
The violence in the movie is unspeakable and we are asked to suspend disbelief over and over again. Even against machine guns and machetes. And Liam, all by his little old self kills 'em all. Every last one. And hangs off buildings to get into hotel rooms that every one else has easy access to.
And he tortures readily, being ex-CIA. And drives in and out of impossible situations.
Arabs and Albanians are all bad guys. Sex traffickers. Who speak English. As Liam does. To everyone. In Paris.
And Liam only cares about his daughter and not the other unfortunate girls who are also trafficked. And she loses her best friend and is not traumatized one bit.
And her Daddy leaves a trail of bodies and mayhem all through France and no one bats an eye and lets him return on a plane to LA which is far, far safer than Paris.
I could go on but don't waste your time on this drivel.
