    Bland

    A dull formulaic drama, with an odd plot and a twist that seems fairly pointless. All in all you are left wondering what Liam Neeson (going through the motions) and Antonio Banderas (not on form) were doing putting their names to this rubbish.

    On the plus side apart from unintentional humour of the hammy acting of some members of the cast, notably Garai, Neeson's daughter's boyfriend steals every scene he's in and provides the film's only intentional humour.
