    I seen it in the cinema last week. I thought its was brilliant. Liam neeson is very good actor. He actualy turned down the bond role before Danile Craig. Id say he'd be a good 007.

    To be honest, i seen the trailers and thought it looked quite decent, if a little bit over the top. I dunno who in their right mind would kidnap a child belonging to a Jedi master and also Ra's al Ghul!! Dumb move obviously!

    You don't need to be a genius to work it out based on the title so yeah predictable but still an excellent movie! Anyone with a teenage daughter could do worse than making them watch it to educate them a little.

    I enjoyed this film very much reminded me very much of the old Death Wish type movies.

    True the movie relies on coincidence and its hard to believe that a man Liam Neesons age can be out there fighting like Jason Bourne.

    That said considering Hollywood is so PC these days and thanks to Bourne, action movies are supposed to have intelligent complicated plots its enjoyable to see an old school 'tell me what I want to know or I'll kill you' type movie where he does follow through.

    This is actually the type of movie that Arnie would have made back in the day and people would have loved it, they type of movie where shooting someone once wasnt enough you had to see the bad guy get the whole gun emptied into him, when did pointless violence and carnage in what is supposed to be a violent action film become so wrong?

    Watched it last night and enjoyed it. Typical brainless action movie. Strange role for Neeson but was good to see him go a bit psycho.
