    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.

    Fabulous!!!

    This film is fantastic, it is so full of action it just keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. Neeson is a bit of a James Bond character and plays the part brilliantly. Would recommend to anyone!

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
