Hmmm seen the trailers. Looks very similar to lots of other films (plotwise) does it play out with a bit of originality then?

My kids watched this last night and said it was superb.

I love Liam Neeson, he can sound very quietly menacing. Not sure I fancy watching it on the laptop though

one of the best films ive seen in ages "Good luck" lol
its not over the top just good action and very gripping its the only film ive ever seen that i was shouting at the tv when he was fighting the bad guys rofl
i know what you mean about not having good reviews from the press.
another good film i liked was shooter.

Great film, I watched it last week. Very Bourne-like but Neeson was excellent.
