The main premise of the film might be a little over the top and dark; it is about women being sold into the sex trade. Do not let this discourage you though as the movie is a great action thriller. Liam Neeson as the main character Bryan Mills is surprisingly tough and wholly believable as an ex-spy who has subsequently aged but can still hold his own in the field. Quite simply, this movie is an exciting ride worth taking.

The action will definitely grip hold of you throughout. With the varying sequences you find yourself taking pleasure in watching the main character cause pain to the men who have taken his daughter. Do not expect anything over the top as the sequences are on the tamer side but they fit perfectly with the tone of the story.
