The title of this film didn't do justice to its material. The release also didn't do justice.
At first glance, it's easy to dismiss this movie as boring. Title is simple. Poster is crap (liam neeson in black and white) but this is Bourne Identity effect action thriller.
If you enjoyed luc besson (the fifth element) and Pierre Morel (the transporter, district B13) then do catch it if it is ever released. This one is brainchild of the two and liam neeson. Been half a year since it screened in US.
Hell I cannot even find a proper trailer. But it's a good kick ass, sleek action flick and worth every penny. Even on DVD.
Synopsis: Retired CIA agent Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) finds his daughter kidnapped by the French (human traffickers) and he sets out to find her within 96 hours and nope, that Mel Gibson movie Ransom, is utter rubbish next to this one.
