Running in Europe is Neeson's full time job now?

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2014)

Judging by the poster and the plot synopsis this movie seemed like a cash-in on the success of "Taken" (even more so than "Taken 2"), but I was surprised by the different style and the fact that Neeson is slightly less implausibly bad-ass. He's just an average guy that tries to prove everybody is framing him, he doesn't do much fighting but it isn't required to keep the compelling plot interesting. The story is genuinely well-crafted and gives you a conclusion that you don't see coming from miles away (unless you're amazing at that type of thing). Oh, and Bruno "hey, isn't that Hitler from Der Untergang?" Ganz is in this, a highly underrated actor that effortlessly adds a bit of class to any movie he's in. In the end things may get a bit unbelievable, but the movie's twist is such a great find that I doubt you'll mind the lack of realism.
