    I saw this movie some time last year, and loved it. I'm not sure if I'll buy it, though... it's one of those movies where every new turn coming can only be refreshing so many times.

      I know, I know... but you know, they still didn't really get the whole gist. Kind of like Mission Impossible III.

        Anyway I really love this movie, I love how raw it is. No long extravagant gun battles which are really unrealistic. But instead he shoots people and they die like they should.

          I thought the movie was pretty bad.

          Everything seemed too perfect to me. Every tip he got was spot on, no matter what happened, he won every fight. I just couldn't get into it.

          Someone mentioned earlier it was Jack Bauer the movie, and myself and the two buddies I watched it with are big 24 fans, and the entire movie we felt like it was basically 12 hours of 24 crammed into a couple hours of a movie.

          Maybe my expectations were too high going into it, but I wasn't impressed at all.

            If you like action movies, I mean, beat-em-up, I'm gonna wreck you and there's nothing you're gonna do to stop it, action movies, you'll enjoy this movie.

            All I have to say is that I think we've found Jason Bourne's father. Dayum.

              I felt about the same. Nothing special about the movie. It's just your basic kidnapping movie...nothing more, nothing less.

                bad acting and a weak plot IMO, not much explaining just action

                fairly entertaining though

                  I would say it set itself apart from movies like Don't Say a Word, Cellular, and Ransom. All of them had their own kind of charm, as did this.

                      Ok,

                      So apparently every freaking poster on OS illegally downloaded this movie a long time ago.

                      Or so it seems.

                      Dear lord people, you guys need to fill me in on these places you find movies that don't come out in the US for 8 months.

                          Very good action flick. Reminded me of the Bourne movies. Liam Neeson > Your pathetic attempt at life.

                            Just saw this. WOW. Loved it. For what it was trying to do, it was perfect. Great action, straight to the point, no messing around, and it delivered on it's promise. Killing at its finest. It was like a revenge commercial.

                              Just got back from seeing it at the theater.


                              LOVED IT. Badazz flick. Liam Neeson is the ultimate bad mofo in this movie. Did things exactly the way a real person (with CIA training of course) would do it.

                              Great action all the way through....very solid flick.

                                I can't add much else to what everybody else is saying because it's spot on. This movie does not mess around.
