Reviews & comments
UnGroan...
Despite a cracking cast (including Diane Kruger, Frank Langella, Aidan Quinn, and the brilliant Bruno Ganz) this is yet another "gimmie da money" role for Liam Neeson, which alongside the CLASH OF THE TITANS movies, indicates that this once fine actor might just be reading the zeros in the fee offered rather than the actual script. It all starts...
Very gripping with a surprise twist at the end!

Those who come in automatically wanting to poke holes can better just stay home and spare us the belly-aching: this...
