Solid action movie, a new classic to the genre

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2016)

This is pretty stellar action/revenge movie, with Liam Neeson perfect for what will become his go-to genre. The kick-ass, take no prisoners action hero. The movie is fun to watch, moves at a quick pace and because the bad guys are so bad (sex trade kidnappers) you don't feel much remorse when they get knocked out, maimed, shot, stabbed, electrocuted, dumped overboard, or just plain killed.
Neeson plays an ex CIA agent who turns Paris upside down after his teenage daughter is abducted by members of a sex trade gang. Ruthless in his quest, he employs his "very particular set of skills" in tracking her down and its pretty awesome.
On the negative side Maggie Grace is a bit too old to play the 15 year old party dress wearing, boppy teenager and initially 'Bryan' seemed way too (certifiably) obsessed with her wellbeing. The acting is solid though Grace definitely does her bit to act underage and Neeson is intense throughout along with some well choreographed fight scenes, car chases, shootouts, torture sequences etc. Its a classic. 12/28/15
