SkinToxicated76 Icon : (30 April 2012 - 01:25 PM) sounds like a plan Orph, might have to watch Alien (and maybe the rest) before it comes out

ok here is the trailer

I was meant to do a review When I saw this when it 1st come out at the cinema, the Mrs got for me on DVD for Valentines and i thought i must do a review

Liam Neeson (the most forgetable Jedi) plays an overprotective, separated father and former CIS enforcer (read into that as you will), whos daughter (who "is like, totally annoying") gets kidnapped on a trip to Europe by people trafficers. She is taken while he is on the phone to her, He then goes about using all his "skills" to track her down and basically kick as much arse en route.

the film is brillant, a real rollercoaster of a story, Neeson is brillant (for a change), This film is a bit like Commando, but alot more believable (and with alot more depth) and has a kinda "Bourne" feel to.
The torture scene had me laughing and cringing at the same time with Neesons almost "Casual sadisticness", that is sustained thru the film as he basically goes thru Europe, dishing out some supreme kickings to get info on his daughter

I really really enjoyed this film, not many people spoke about it(didnt storm at the BO), but if it came up in conversation amongst my mates, it had nothing but praise

if you have a spare £15/$20 you could do alot, lot worse than buy this film

I really really liked this film, much better than some of the trash that gets pumped out these days. Although I thought the very start of the film was a little cheesy but only a little. Rest of the film was great, I remmember laughing out loud when he plays dead on the floor then shoots everyone in the room.

Indeed a great movie. CIS? I think you meant CIA. Anyway he was brilliant. The torture scene was awesome but it was really smart how he got each of those guys to talk in the room while exhorting them. Great movie I was going to write a review i just never got around to it.
