I rather enjoyed it except for the terrible ending. My only concern over the presentation overall is that some people are going to say that it's just American propoganda painting Islamic people as immoral and criminal even though this was a French movie by a French director.
Yeah it was a good movie the end was a little pbs or something but I thought of it as a 24 daddy version. Alos I can see how someone who doesn't know where the movie came from might think that but I don't think it will be a big issue ecept in personal conversation with people. I thought He was so great in the movie as well what's his name again? oh well but I felt the girl was a little over played and it should have had a more realistic ending but other that that it was a great movie an I want to buy it when it omes out on dvd here in the US.

Strangely enough, anyone who gets a "meaning" or any sort of message of "propaganda" is a moron. It was created for pure, hot action that had a guy who was a mixture of Jack Bauer and Steven Seagal. It owned and anyone who takes any message or meaning out of this needs to remember how to enjoy a movie without reading into it.
I thought it was pretty mediocre. It isn't a bad premise, but it was badly cast. For starters, while I'm a big fan of Liam Neeson, he's just not a good fit for the role he was in. Ditto for Famke Jansen. It's a case of just throwing big names in without determining whether they are right for the part.
i thought it was a bit too short.. the ending was good but i woulda hoe-slapped that woman and her husband for not bowing down after he just went to such lengths to save the kid. it was average at best

how is Liam Nelson not a good action actor?? hes like 6 feet tall + thats like a foot taller than tom cruise!
and his voice is oh-so manly.
how can you say he doesnt fit the role?
he sure as heck looks better then bourne, character wise, not storyline wise.
bourne is like some lost kid in a urban jungle running around wondering whose his father is.
Famke Janssen, who played the ex-wife, lost some of her looks since the X-Men series and looks like a totally different person since Goldeneye.IamLegend316
I'd still jump her in a heartbeat.
On-topic, I enjoyed it for what it was, but honestly forgot about it the moment I walked out of the theatre. The fight scenes were brutal though, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the "spotter" meet his end.
