The movie was great. It starts slow, but it's one of those movies that you have to hang in there till the end to get the full impact. The characters chosen to potray met the quota for the plot of the movie. Liam Neeson is exceptional. In order to connect to his direct emotions during this movie, you have to be the adventure type. The one that puts it on the line and rambo's it on out. Into the face of danger he will go. Knowing the odds are stacked high in his opponents favor. Overall it was worth double the money paid for this viewing. I highly recommend you see it.
