Featured reviews
Liam Neeson goes to rent a storage locker and falls in love instantly with clerk Kate Walsh. Soon they are living together. He never tells her what he does, but one day he decides to put everything behind him, so he calls the FBI and tells them he's the "In and Out Bandit" who has stolen about $12,000,000 over the last year. He wants to surrender and return all the money in return for a lighter sentence, so he can spend the rest of his life with Miss Walsh.
This being a Liam Neeson action movie -- which he said he was never going to make another -- the agent he speaks to, and the agent's partner take the money for themselves and put Neeson and Miss Walsh on the run. But, as usual, Neeson has mad skilz; he's an ex-Marine bomb disposal expert, which means he can build them too. So it's explosions and chase, with Neeson driving an SUV, making this a fine Dad Movie. For a man who's 68, Neeson looks like he's 15 years younger. It's certainly not a great work of cinema art, but as long as he keeps making them, I'll keep watching them

Average film, generally enjoyable. Mild action film with an expected ending. Personally felt it was better than some of the reviews, but my expectations weren't high going in. I felt I basically knew everything I needed to know from the trailer, and it played out as anticipated.
Greed corrupts absolutely. That is the main theme that emerges in this average sort of adventure. Liam Neeson and Kate Walsh carry the film. If you watch the trailer you get the whole gist of the film with no twists. Some good action scenes but our main villain proves to be very one dimensional. No backstory and stupid greed leads them to their betrayal of the badge. Overall it was good easy to understand fun and action, don't expect too much.
Not epic, but really enjoyable if you are a fan of this genre. And just so you know what genre I'm talking about, it's 'Liam Neeson', under 'Action'.
Movie's kinda sweet or naive I would say, but still has that action that makes me love this guy's movies.
There are a couple of minor plot twists, but nothing major. That's why it's a solid 7 for me, i. e. if you are a fan of his movies.
Really enjoyed it :).

Liam Neeson does another Taken film but this time the a pair of FBI agents are the bad guys. He blows up safes and has accumulated millions from his heists. He meets a woman right at the start of the movie and he falls in love with her and decides to turn himself in to prove his love for her. Temptation takes over as the lawmen decide to pad their retirement plans with a few million of the stolen loot. As expected, we get the car chases, fights and very little romance here. The script is nothing new but Liam is so good that it can be forgiven.
