I told you I'd find you....

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2012)

Former CIA agent Bryan Mills reluctantly agrees to let his 17 year old daughter Kim go to Paris on a trip.
His ex-wife Lenore and her new husband Stuart are all for it and Kim sets off with a friend.
On arrival in Paris however, Kim and her friend are kidnapped by mobsters running a slavery-prostitution ring.
Bryan's only lead is a short snippet of a conversation from when Kim phoned him in a panic. With that, he's able to identify the origin of the speaker and which criminal gang he's with.
Once in Paris, he quickly shows everyone connected with the case that he will stop at nothing to get his daughter back.....
This movie was something of a resurgence for Neeson, after all, when he finished 'The Haunting' he stated he would retire. At the age of 57, he became a Bourne again action star.
If you are familiar with Besson produced action, you will know what to expect, and this is no different. It's straight to the point, very brutal, and Neeson is utterly believable as the frustrated father.
Wha thou should know about Besson produced action is the fact that you have to suspend belief for the duration of the movie. And although this is one of the more realistic produced movies, it still gets a little daft at times.
But it's deserved of its status, and is well worth it.
