Solid, bleak and tough thriller. Why the low rating? I guess because it aint got a happy end. And Liam Neeson is playing a bad guy who has got vulnerabilities (Alzheimer). That doesnt gel well with many action movie fans, who mostly prefer to see a glorious upbeat ending.
Any bad? Liam Neeson is still a great actor, but he starts to look really old, but despite his age he still pulls it of to convince me that he is a cool, calm and collected hired gun (with a "good heart"). Really good acting performance!
The good: This is still a decent cop thriller. A former (great) James Bond director is directing it. And for petes sake, none other than the brilliant actor Guy Pearce is starring in it.
More good: there is enough tough action. The story keeps going. It's bleak. And real. And I didnt get bored for a second. This is simply another well made Liam Neeson action movie, with even some really good supporting actors.
Recommended for the fans of this "old tough man" genre. But remember, dont expect any originality.
