Liam Neeson kicks butt overseas once again.

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2011)

Like his character in "Taken", Neeson plays a loving man who is looking to seek those who've done him wrong. Unlike his character in that movie, he is not looking for kidnappers, but those who might have something to do with the fact that his wife no longer remembers him after he had a terrible taxi crash. That's one thing the movie never explains: why is his wife the one who is acting crazy when she wasn't involved in the crash? Or was I missing something? Anyway, the movie is very effective, at least with the material we expect from a movie like this. What's new, or apparently new, is the former Stasi agent and this Nazi stuff. I could have done without this part. Frank Langella plays a character, who, it turns out, is not on his brother's side after all. This I did not see coming. Why he underplays it, I have no clue. I also enjoyed the last sequence in the hotel, where an alarm goes off, and now Neeson has to destroy a bomb from going off, and also to stop the guy who stole his identity. The way this fight plays out, it looks nothing (or at least almost nothing) like I've seen before.
*** out of ****
