While I liked the movie, I thought everything fell into place too easily for him. He was able to track down his daughter and all the bad guys with very little problems. I know it's just a movie, but a little too convenient.

I felt Leon (or, The Professional as some of you might know it) was a much better movie by Besson. It had twists and turns and some superior acting by Jean Reno and Gary Oldman and Natalie Portman.

I rented it the other day and watched it while bord at work, then it was on in the movie room at the gym last night and I watched it again. I liked it, but I like Liam Neeson better as Oskar Schindler.

Well, he did plenty of that in the rated version also. I don't think the unrated version was unrated because of violince. I have both on the DVD so I will have to watch again to see the difference.

Liam was like an old Matt Damon...Had a very 'Bourne' feel to it.
But yeah, great movie.
My two favorite lines in the movie are:
"Your arrogance offends me" and, "Now is not the time for D- Measuring!" LOL!

I thought it was an excellent movie... The fight choreography was fantastic. Liam would've wasted Jack Bauer in 24 seconds, easy.
