Awesome film until it actually becomes smart

Rating: 4/10 (23 April 2013)

It is no doubt exciting and intense, and Liam Neeson is as fantastic as ever in the spy-kick butt-ery role. The twist is nifty but after that is spoiled it feels like there isn't much left to the audience to make them wonder what could happen next.
Despite that, I love the noire film style and the gritty Berlin exterior, and the action scenes are crazy and brutal.
This is a smart thriller with shades of very good film making thrown in.
It's not the best thriller, but kudos for finally making and darned fun and entertaining one.
