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. | | | | | Sponsored Links | Premium Members do not see Google advertisements. SIGN UP today and help support our community.

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.
