I'm off to see Liam Neeson's latest in a bit.
Anyone seen it?
I'm no reviewer but I'll give a low down later.

Well not a bad flick.
Pretty standard chase/action film.
Three is a nice couple of bits where they deviate from the action film formula which gave it a good boost for example when Neeson kicks the shit out of the French dude at the taxi rank.

Neeson is just good in whatever he does.
I cannot believe how young they made Maggie Grace (Shannon from Lost) look.
She is 25 but played a 17 year old brilliantly.
Famke Janssen (Jean Grey from X-Men) is getting old!
Holly Valance makes a nice cameo as a Brtineyesque pop star and there is a good sequence at a concert.

If you wait until its on DVD you wont be missing out.

Aye not bad.
The brothel on the construction site was nasty though.
I like to be naieve and hope that places like that don't really exist but we all know they do unfortunately.

Me and a few others on IMDB have noticed it runs pretty damn funny. Did you notice this?

Haha yeah she does!

That was definately the bit that she overacted. Like a frantic child on acid.
