A Boune-ish Affair

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2011)

Before watching this film you should take a look at Neesons previous film "Taken". Then have a look at the last two Bourne films. You'll see the same type of production with dark, moody filming, wobbly "hand held shots" with a documentary feeling. They even stole some Inception ideas with the slow motion car crashing off the bridge. Berlin looks good in these sort of films as the city has a backdrop of a bygone era that still exists within it's architecture.
Neeson takes his role seriously and is very convincing post crash. He is not as sharp as his role in Taken but he is nether the less good with his gritty voice and dialogue. I suspect Neeson was held back some by dubious support acting and he makes the most of what he has to play with.
There is something for everyone but I can gauge how good a film is if I decide to buy it on DVD or Blu-Ray. Taken I bought the Blu-Ray, this, i'll buy the DVD.
