Okay, this is a freakin great movie. Always did like Liam Neeson. You know those movies where someone has to rescue someone else, but they don't kill enough of the bad guys to do it? Well, this isn't one of those movies. I give it a

Sounds like my kind of movie. I may see it today.

I thought it was good too. Fast-paced and it didn't get stalled with any drama or screen time with the mom or step dad. Just well-done ass-kicking start to finish.

Movie's release dates are nuts, this one has been out here in Spain since last summer but I still wonder when we would get The Bank Job…

I've been a fan of Liam Neeson ever since I saw Kinsey.

ehhhhhh........ plenty of violence, yes. Great movie, though? I can't agree with that. For me, a good guy character like Liam Neeson is supposed to be in this movie has to have some redeeming qualities. His doesn't, it's just mindless violence with zero character development. How many innocent girls did he end up killing for the sake of saving his own? I lost count. Just a terribly written flick, imho.

I'll have to agree with gradient a bit on this one. While I thought it was worth the 4 bucks (midnight showing here in St. Maarten is cheaper), it certainly isn't gonna win any awards. Overall it was still a nice way to waste a couple of hours.

The premise and the first 20 minutes of this movie are just pure crap. But, once you get passed that, it becomes one of the coolest damn movies ever.

All glory to the hypnotoad.
