Liam Neeson was a goddamned killing machine in this. It also had Maggie Grace (Shannon from Lost) playing a familiar role as a helpless rich girl. But basically this is just 90 minutes of Neeson shooting people and being like an older, more pissed off version of Jason Bourne.

I can't think of any conceivable way that Neeson's character could ever get out of France after racking up that kind of body count. Then again, after watching him single-handedly destroy the entire Albanian prostitution syndicate of Paris, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I agree with TDubbs. It was awesome!

I like making fun of TDubbs' taste in movies as much as the next guy, but I have to say he pretty much nailed it on this one.

If he's as right about his other favorites as he is about Taken, I might have to add 27 Dresses to my NetFlix ¿que?

It's entertaining.. liam actually pulls off the badass well.. albanians are terribly inaccurate with any sort of gun, in case anyone runs into trouble on the streetz.

are they showing the kid rock "warrior" song military ad before this movie across the country? might be the worst song i've ever heard, even with Dale jr saying it's downloadable for free, can't imagine many besides TDubbs picked this up..
