In terms of plot, it was better than Taken, but the action was not nearly up to par. This is mainly because this is an overall boring movie. It's not all that original and the ending seems VERY rushed, but one should see this movie simply because most of the other movies out this year are not that good. The acting was okay, but it seemed like Mel forgot that he was from Boston in a few scenes and some of the other acting is a little corny. All in all, it was better than most and it is certainly watchable.
