    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    5* Action Thriller, 5* Acting from Liam Neeson

    Honestly, this is the best action/thriller I've seen in years. It got my attention from the word go, and I was glued to the screen throughout. I very much respect Liam Neeson for his acting, and for the way he carefully chooses his roles (only the best will do!). Once again he has come up trumps with this fantastic film which deserves every success.

    Synopsis.

    A retired government secret agent (Neeson) is forced to use his skill and combat when his teenage daughter and best friend get kidnapped whilst travelling in Europe.

    Top Notch Action Thriller

    One of the best films I have seen in a long time. Liam Nelson superb as usual and centre stage for 90% of the film. Sit back and enjoy the roller coaster ride, which does not fail to deliver all the way and right up to the end....shame it had too!

    Moonlighting (1985-1989) In the mid 1980s Walter Willis landed a lead role on prime time television, ditched his first name and became household heartthrob Bruce Willis. The prolonged on-screen sexual tension Bruce shared with his co-star Cybill Shepherd lasted for five steamy years, much to the delight of fans everywhere. However, in 1989 the show took a nose dive after its writers succumbed to fans’ wishes and made the on-screen duo official. In the closing episode of Moonlighting,... Read more
