Brilliant

Absolutely fantastic ilm.
A real action film with a believable story which made the difference; you felt for all those concerned.
Liam Neeson was great and was born for the part; from the moment it started, your pulse quickened getting faster until the climax.
Not just a blokey film, as there were many couples in the cinema who also thought it great.
You can tell when a film is good by the reaction of the audience afterwards, and everyone was excitedly talking about it.
RECOMMENDED-

I honestly did not think i would have enjoyed this film as im not really into action films but i am really glad i went to see it, it was brilliant! Liam Neeson is fantastic in it, like i have never saw him before. I would highly recommend going to see it.
You will be disappointed if you wait till it comes out on dvd the big screen makes the difference i think.

She wanted to see mirrors which is not my type, so reluctantly she knows i chose better films. This was a good film excitement from start to finish. Wife was on edge of seat, it keeps you gripped right the way through. Good plot except the over protective father part is a bit much considering he has not spent that much time with his daughter, Neeson is quality though and although a little old to play action roles of this nature he pulled it of. I would recommend to anyone.
Confirmed i have better taste than her in doors.
