    Very entertaining movie, can't go wrong with Besson. Thanks to Besson also for casting Neeson as the hero, when it could have been Willis or someone else down those lines. Neeson did an awesome job, he'd kick your dad's ass

    Good plot (realistic excl. action scenes), good casting and well worth your time.

    Very good film, love the little speech on the phone, almost as moving as Russell's in Gladiator.

    One of the best films i've seen in a while.

    As said, its very "Jason Bourne" but in a good way.

    Highly recommend, even more so as there is a good copy out

    I watched this last night, as I'd heard from lots of people that it was a really good film.

    In the most part it was indeed very good, but I feel that some of the story was terrible...

    Spoiler:


    Hi Ex-Wife and new partner were tottally unbelieveable. They were both poorly acted characters. She was bitchy to the point of extreme. I know (1st hand!) that ex-wives can be bitchy, but she wasn't convincing to me. He was just a pointless character who really had little point in the film. What pissed me off most with the pair was at the end, when she says "Thanks" for saving the daughter. Thanks?! Like he'd only picked her up from the fucking cinema! In short that aspect of the story was a blemish on an otherwise awsome action film.



    Neeson was fantastic throughout the movie, and the dialog was well scripted. Action scenes were well done, and despite being filmed in "Bourne O Vision" at times, were quite realistic.

    Definately worth a look. A good film, which was very clever in parts. Just a shame about the step-parents.

    absolutely LOVED this film! Some really intense scenes. The phone conversation which was shown in the trailer is just epic. 10/10!

    Only daft bit was at the VERY end with that whole singing lesson crap haha I suppose it had a nice touch though!

    Watched this on saturday night and thank fuck I did as it was brilliant, really good fast paced movie. Neeson is a great actor and gave a better performance than any of the other hollywood clowns such as Willis, Clooney etc..

    Watching the kidnap scene was just edge of seat stuff...

    Awesome film, gave it 9.5!

    What a fantastic film. One of the best this year. It kept me on the end of my seat all the way through. Neeson put in a great performance. This made quantum of solace look completely lame!

    Wow. I was very very surprised at this movie. Not one I'd have picked out but I heard so many people saying how good it was.

    Liam was seriousley bad ass in this flick

    How good was he when the kidnap was taking place. Calm and focused.

    Quote of the movie:

    "I have a very particular set of skills"

    and

    "I told you I would find you"

    Fucking legend. Top stuff. 9.5/10
