Sang froid

What a terrific film this is. A great cast. An engrossing plot. Good action. Witty dialogue. And, most of all, great comedy throughout with many laugh out loud scenes. It's a Liam Neeson movie yes, but it's really so much more. He is just the protagonist, but the film is carried by strong performances throughout, led by Tom Bateman as a wonderful baddie you just love to hate. Gets better upon multiple viewings which really is a gift that keeps giving as a film.

I loved the "Taken" films and was afraid this movie would have that same feel to it and be a carbon copy, but it definitely wasn't. A friend went to this movie with me and she wasn't a Liam N. fan at all. She didn't think she would like it. She loved it! As did I. Another movie that keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole time. Just enough comedy and funny bits without being considered a comedy film. I've never watched a Liam N film that I didn't like and this is no acception. SKIP over the negative reviews from the people who obviously haven't seen this film and are rating it low for personal and controversial reasons. Highly recommend this movie.

I haven't enjoyed a movie so much in a good while! With Liam Neeson as the lead, I was anticipating a great movie, but it far surpassed my expectations! The dark comedy reminded me of my all-time favorite "Fargo," a very enjoyable roller coaster ride right out of the gate, artfully combining action, gore with humor. The drug lords that Liam set his sights on killing were no match for his character, a man of few spoken words, who dished out a heaping plate of cold revenge, taking them down one by one. But all of the actors/characters in this movie played into the story and made it so enjoyable. Tom Bateman played the wily villain you love to hate, and made the film a thrilling ride, and was itching to see him get his due. A very satisfying movie, with great directing...this one gives your money's worth, for sure!

How can you not like a Liam movie, especially one that has a few extra "whaaaaatttt???" scenes. Cleaver and humorous at times, especially at the end. They could have done without Laura Dern's character. Added so little to the movie!
