Should have been better.

Rating: 7/10 (18 March 2011)

I find it odd that this was advertised as being an action film, considering there is hardly any action in it. I actually didn't mind that. About half an hour into this, I realized that it was mostly a suspense thriller. It worked very well, the acting was good(expect January Jones, more details later), the suspense was there, and it unraveled at a good pace.
However, the closer this film came to ending, the more it fell apart. The clichés started coming in and Liam Neeson turned into Rambo. The movie built up so much suspense and most of it was wasted. Oddly enough, during the climax, the movie turned into what it was advertised as: an action film. How was the action? Meh. There's a good car chase scene and some stupid shaky-cam fighting. Liam Neeson saying cheesy one-liners also comes off as very cheesy. Next years Razzie awards should give worst actress to January Jones for her robotic performance here. Some people say "the part needed it" Haha... No. Even when she should show emotion, she doesn't, the Terminator showed more emotion.
Despite the cheesy climax, I still think the film is worth a watch. There is definitely a good thriller during the first hour.
