Reviews & comments
Variety
pressBeyond the occasional plot frissons and juicy supporting turns, it's an emotionally and psychologically threadbare exercise.
The New York Times
pressAfter a whole lot of buildup, and a real letdown of a payoff, the only enigma left is why we should care.
Los Angeles Times
pressThe movie's disinterest in character might be forgivable were its plot not riddled with holes.
Hollywood Reporter
pressDirector Jaume Collet-Serra provides a steady flow of suspense and a very Polanski-esque feeling of paranoia.
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...
I really enjoyed this movie, it kept me on my seat til the end & what a twist. liam neeson does well yet again
Movie was pretty average. Got to hand it to Neeson though, hes in his 50s playing a 30 something year old spy/agent. I wonder if I'll be able to pull moves like him when I hit that ripe old age. hahahahaha
I enjoyed this movie a lot. I chose it purely on the basis of 'I want to go to a movie - I don't know what to see - let's try this'. I was very pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the film. The acting was excellent and the storyline provided lots of twists and turns with a particularly unexpected twist at the end! Not a film I would want to buy, but...
I really had no idea what to expect from this, and found myself pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it, as action movies go. Good performances from Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger, however January Jones seemed more wooden than Keanu Reeves! No chemistry whatsoever between her and Neeson so the flashback shower scenes were a bit awkward. Was nice I...
Not my usual favourite genre of movie but then again, If movies are about entertainment and not always to be taken too serioiusly, then this is a goodie. Loads of action, car chases, twists and turns plus Liam Neeson who really is a bit of a star, the result is 1 hour 49mins of enjoyable escapism which really does keep you guessing all the way.
It was great to see an excellent ensemble of actors support Neeson in his strong lead role. The pieces came together and the movie just worked. I went in looking for solid entertainment with perhaps a twist or two, and that's what I got. Those who come in automatically wanting to poke holes can better just stay home and spare us the belly-aching: this...
I enjoy Liam's movies (Taken, A-Team, Love Actually, Rob Roy) This movie has shades of Taken & Jason Bourne. It has good twists & turns and the ending is a good surprise. It keep me interested through out and I would recommend going to see it!
