Anyone planning on seeing this?
From the trialers it looks pretty good , almost a re imaging of Frantic.

I read in some interview with Liam's onscreen daughter (the dead blonde Claire from Lost) that she gets kidnapped in the movie and then sold in the 'sex trades'.

Sounds like my kind of flick.

I know nothing else about the movie, but I plan on seeing it just because of his phone call response to the kidnappers.

I guess whoever made the trailer did a good job.

It is good, but I was waiting for him to say "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my Father. Prepare to die."

They use that name in Fanboys, I am soooo looking forward to it .

Princes Bride is one of my top 3 all time, I can watch it ev eryday and still enjoy and laugh at it .

Best line was an adlib

Miricle Max: "Go away or I'll call the brute squad."
Fezick:"I am on the Brute squad"
MM:" You ARE the Brute Squad!"

I love "hitman" movies.

Still none better than "The Professional", though.


Whats the real name of that movie. I know I shouldn't but I knew Natalie Portman was gonna be both a great actor but hot as hell . Plus the best line . "BRING ME EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!"

I guess it was re-named "Leon". I always saw it billed at "The Professional".


it was always known as "Leon: The Professional". It was never renamed, it was just promoted differently here.

Watched Taken friday night. It was o.k. Some good individual scenes, but like most action movies there are too many scenes that are too impossible for me to believe the movie. (That's why I don't like most action movies.)

Just home from it. Better than I was expecting it to be. SOme parts a little over the top. As per causal fan some ofthe individual scense are incredible. I wish his "friends" where more involved but I was glad it was not gadet happy ot too Bourneish that it lost all touch with reality.

UTTER GARBAGE.

I guess they couldn't get Harrison Ford to make us suspend disbelief.

The highlight for me? 'Uncle Rico' barbecuing steaks with Liam and two other actors.

The chick from Lost has the 'crying' schtick down pat.

Just saw it...I thought it was pretty good...as others said, there are moments where you just say "no fucking way" but at the end of the day, I was entertained...

i lost interest in children snatching after "ransom".

i'd like to see something be made into a movie for the springfield three (also known as "three missing women") but it's never been concluded...may make it even more intriguing.

i wonder if RFDC knows what story i'm talking about.

Saw this a few weekends ago and I was mixed too it. The acting was reallllllll bad as I wanted five mins into the movie for the girl to get kidnapped. The action was really good and I dug Liam running around kicking ass and fucking shit up. Other than that. Meh

wasn't sure to like it for not trying to be more than it was.... or hate it for being so predictable.

Liam's character vs. Jason Bourne who'd win? and would we care?
